How Traditional Pricing Excludes Small Businesses
Quality call handling has always been priced for enterprises. Small businesses get to choose between expensive and terrible — or free and nonexistent.
Human Receptionists: $38K-$45K/Year
Salary is just the start. Add health insurance, payroll taxes, desk space, phone system, training, sick days, and vacation coverage. A single receptionist costs $3,200+/month — and they can only handle one call at a time. During lunch, you are back to voicemail.
Answering Services: $200-$1,500/Month
Sounds reasonable until you read the fine print. Per-minute overages at $1-$2/minute. After-hours surcharges. Holiday fees. Transfer fees. The "$200/month" plan turns into $800 when you actually use it. And the quality? Scripted operators in a call center.
Enterprise Call Centers: $3K-$10K/Month
This is the gold standard. Trained agents, CRM integration, quality monitoring, 24/7 coverage. It is also priced exclusively for companies with 500+ employees. The exact same quality that Fortune 500 companies get — at prices that exclude 99% of businesses.
The Result: Most Use Voicemail
Priced out of real solutions, most small businesses default to voicemail. Which means losing 73% of callers who will never leave a message. They called because they have an urgent need. They do not want to wait for a callback. They call your competitor instead.

Common Questions
Why is KaiCalls so much cheaper than a human receptionist?
AI does not need salary, benefits, sick days, vacation time, or training. The underlying infrastructure costs are amortized across thousands of businesses, which means each business gets enterprise-grade AI at a fraction of what it costs to run a single call center seat. A human receptionist costs $38,000-$45,000 per year plus benefits. KaiCalls starts at $69 per month.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The price you see is the price you pay. Each plan includes a set number of minutes. If you exceed your plan, overage is $0.10-$0.15 per minute depending on your tier. There are no setup fees, no after-hours surcharges, no per-call fees, no CRM integration fees, and no contract termination fees. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial. No credit card required to start. You get full access to all features during the trial — the same AI, the same integrations, the same call quality. Cancel anytime with no penalties or obligations.
