How much does an AI receptionist cost for a small business?
AI Receptionist Pricing for Small Businesses
An AI receptionist typically costs between $179 to $349 per month for small businesses, depending on call volume and features. At Relvexa, Maya (AI Receptionist) costs $349/month and handles unlimited incoming calls, transfers, and voicemails without requiring a retainer or long-term contract.
Here's what you're actually paying for:
- Call answering 24/7 — Maya picks up every call, even after hours
- Lead qualification — She asks screening questions and notes details
- Warm transfers — Hands off to you or your team when needed
- Appointment scheduling — Books directly into your calendar
- Custom voicemails — Your business greeting, not a generic one
- Instant notifications — You know who called and why, in real-time
Why Maya Beats Traditional Alternatives
A human receptionist in most markets runs $28,000–$45,000 annually (salary + taxes + training). A traditional answering service costs $100–$200 per month but offers no AI smarts — just call logging. Phone systems with IVR menus annoy customers and miss leads.
Maya costs $4,188/year. No hiring, no training, no turnover. She never calls in sick, never forgets to transfer a call, and learns your business rules in minutes.
The real win: you never miss a lead again. Most small businesses ignore 30–50% of incoming calls because they're busy. Maya ensures every caller gets a response, every inquiry gets qualified, and every appointment opportunity gets booked. That compounds fast.
If you're handling calls yourself or missing them entirely, Maya pays for herself with just 2–3 extra leads per month.
