Quick answers.
What does AI Phone 360 cost vs Ruby Receptionists?
AI Phone 360 starts at $19.99/mo (Basic), $59.99/mo (Pro), or $199.99/mo (Enterprise). Ruby Receptionists pricing starts at $329/mo for 200 receptionist minutes and climbs to $899+/mo for the higher-volume tiers, with overage fees of $2.55+/min once the included pool runs out. AI Phone 360 charges per AI minute — $0.35/min on Basic, $0.20/min on Pro, $0.12/min on Enterprise — so a doubled call volume does not double your bill.
Does the AI sound like a real receptionist?
Yes. AI Phone 360 uses ElevenLabs voice synthesis, so the voice is warm and natural rather than robotic. You can pick from our voice library or clone your own voice for a consistent brand across every call.
Can it escalate calls to a person?
Yes. Live transfer rules let you send specific calls — emergencies, existing-customer calls, after-hours surges — to your cell, your office, or a teammate. Everything else the AI handles end-to-end, then texts you a one-line summary.
Does AI Phone 360 answer 24/7 like Ruby does after-hours?
Yes — every plan, every call, 24/7/365. There is no separate after-hours minute pool to monitor. Calls at 2am are handled the same way calls at 2pm are.
