Check before choosing
Confirm staffed hours, transfer charges, language support, holiday fees, integration costs and cancellation terms. Low cost alone does not establish equivalent coverage.
View hire.ink featuresCalculation method
Monthly total = base + extra fees + max(0, usage − allowance) × extra-unit rate. First year adds setup once. Per-minute usage = calls × average call length; rounding treats every call as that average and rounds it up, so a real mix of call lengths may differ. All figures exclude tax. No prices are fetched from external providers.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a virtual receptionist cost per month?
Use a provider quote to enter the base fee, included calls or minutes, extra-unit rate and additional fees. This tool estimates the monthly total; it does not fetch live provider prices.
How is this different from the AI cost calculator?
This tool focuses on provider plans and allowances. The AI cost calculator estimates your total receptionist spend including staffing models.
