The Marlie AI alternative
with apps on every device.
Looking for a Marlie AI alternative? Both answer your calls with AI and both bill by the minute. The difference is where you run it: Marlie is a web dashboard, while AI Phone 360 ships native iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows apps that let you watch a call happen and take it over from the AI mid-sentence. AI Phone 360 also starts at $19.99/mo against Marlie’s $49, with unlimited team members on every plan.

Three reasons teams leave Marlie AI.
$19.99 to start, not $49
Marlie’s Basic plan is $49/mo for 250 minutes and caps you at one action per call with no transfers. AI Phone 360 Basic is $19.99/mo plus $0.35 per AI minute, with transfers, booking and unlimited actions from the first plan.
No action or transfer tiers
Marlie meters what the AI is allowed to do — 1 action per call on Basic, 3 on Standard, unlimited on Pro, with transfers gated to a single number until $99/mo. AI Phone 360 does not tier the AI’s capabilities by plan.
Real apps, and live take-over
AI Phone 360 ships native iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows apps. Watch calls in progress with a live caller-intent line and take the conversation over with one tap — something no web-only dashboard can do.
A fair look at both options.
Marlie AI is a strong product for the right buyer. Here is where each one shines for your team’s specific needs.
What Marlie AI does well
- Genuinely deep native integrations — HubSpot, Housecall Pro, Jobber, MyCase, Square and ServiceTitan, plus Zapier
- Bundled minutes are predictable if your volume is steady
- 14-day free trial
- Custom data extraction and document uploads on the Pro tier
Where AI Phone 360 wins
- $19.99/mo entry against Marlie’s $49/mo Basic
- Transfers, booking and unlimited per-call actions from the first plan rather than gated by tier
- Unlimited team members included on every plan
- Native iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows apps with live call screening and one-tap take-over
- No bundled-minute cliff — you pay for the minutes you use at $0.15–$0.35

Quick answers.
How much does Marlie AI cost compared to AI Phone 360?
As of September 2026 Marlie publishes $49/mo for 250 minutes, $99/mo for 500, $199/mo for 1,000 and $399/mo for 2,000, with overage from $0.35/min falling to $0.25/min on the top tier. AI Phone 360 is $19.99/mo (Basic), $59.99/mo (Pro) or $199.99/mo (Enterprise) plus $0.15–$0.35 per AI minute. At 250 minutes AI Phone 360 Basic runs about $107.49 versus Marlie’s $49 — so Marlie’s bundle is cheaper at that volume, while AI Phone 360 is cheaper below roughly 85 minutes a month and adds unlimited team members and apps at any volume.
When is Marlie AI the better choice?
If you live inside HubSpot, Jobber, Housecall Pro, MyCase or ServiceTitan, Marlie’s native integrations with those tools are deeper than ours and that may matter more than price. Its bundled minutes are also better value than per-minute billing once you are consistently over about 85 minutes a month. We would rather tell you that than have you switch and switch back.
Does Marlie AI have a mobile app?
Marlie does not publish an iOS or Android app; it is operated from a web dashboard. AI Phone 360 ships native iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows apps alongside the web app, and its apps let you watch a live call with a real-time caller-intent line and take it over from the AI with one tap.
Can I limit what the AI is allowed to do?
Yes, but by choice rather than by price tier. AI Phone 360 gives you unlimited actions per call and rule-based transfers on every plan, and you decide what the AI may book, answer or escalate. Marlie meters actions per call by tier — one on Basic, three on Standard, unlimited from Pro.
