AI Receptionist Pricing, Without the Per-Minute Surprises
A flat monthly price for an always-on AI receptionist that answers chat, qualifies callers, books meetings into Google Calendar and routes the rest to your team. Plans start at £99 per month and scale with usage, not per minute.
Live in production with real customers. Trained on your business before launch.
What's getting in the way today
- Per-minute pricing makes monthly cost unpredictable.
- Cheap call-answering services upsell every routed call.
- Hiring a human receptionist costs £25k+ per year before benefits.
- Most chatbots are billed per message and break under real questions.
- Hidden ongoing fees, surprise integration charges and unclear onboarding scope inflate year-one cost.
How Boafo AI receptionist pricing works
One flat monthly subscription covers your branded AI receptionist, training on your website, the chat widget, lead capture, Google Calendar booking and Google Sheets routing.
Plans start at £99 per month for small businesses, scale to dedicated tiers for higher traffic and white-label deployments, and include unlimited conversations on standard plans.
No per-minute or per-message metering on the standard tiers, a fixed-price onboarding fee from £499 (self-onboard waives it on Starter and Growth), and no charge for the team to re-train the agent as your services change.
Most teams recover the cost in week one from one captured out-of-hours enquiry that would otherwise have been missed.

Where the ROI shows up

AddressCore and other Boafo customers are live in production on flat-fee plans, with no per-conversation metering.
