Estimated human receptionist cost at your hours and rate: £49,920/year. Boafo Agent Starter plan: £1,188/year plus £499 onboarding, covering website enquiries 24/7.

Estimates use illustrative, adjustable modelling defaults (80% capture of missed calls, ~5 minutes of admin time per call), not measured Boafo Agent results. Your real numbers depend on traffic quality, your booking flow and how the AI is trained.

Where the cost savings come from

Recovered missed calls

Most missed calls today become hang-ups. The AI answers in seconds and converts a meaningful share into booked appointments.

Reduced admin load

The AI handles repetitive questions (pricing, hours, booking, status) so your team stops being a front desk.

Lower receptionist cost

The Starter plan (£99/month plus £499 onboarding) covers website enquiries 24/7, with no per-minute fees and no rota gaps.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

Boafo Agent's Starter plan is £99 per month plus a £499 one-off onboarding fee. There are no per-minute fees, so a busy month will not blow up the recurring cost. See /pricing for Growth, Pro and Enterprise tiers.

How is the cost of an AI receptionist different from a human receptionist?

A full-time human receptionist in the UK typically costs £25,000 to £35,000 a year fully loaded, and only covers business hours. Boafo Agent covers website enquiries 24/7 from £99 a month plus a £499 onboarding fee, with consistent quality and no rota gaps.

What savings should I expect?

The calculator on this page estimates annual savings based on modelling assumptions for recovered missed calls, freed-up staff time and the difference between human and AI receptionist cost. Actual results vary by business.

Does the calculator include training and setup?

The Starter plan (£99/month plus a £499 one-off onboarding fee) includes training on your services, FAQs, opening hours and Google Calendar booking. See /pricing for the full breakdown.

Will I really capture 80% of missed calls?

The 80% figure is an illustrative, adjustable modelling assumption, not a measured Boafo Agent result or a guaranteed outcome. Actual results depend on traffic quality and how well the AI is trained on your services.

Can I see this calculator applied to my real numbers on a call?

Yes. Book a 20-minute demo and we will walk through your numbers, train the AI on your live website beforehand and show it answering your real customer questions.

Is there a long contract?

Plans are billed monthly. See /pricing for current terms.

What if I have more than one location?

You can scale across locations on the Growth or Pro plan. We tune the AI to handle location-specific opening hours, services and pricing.

See it on your real site.

We train your AI receptionist on your live website before our 20-minute demo, then show it answering your real customer questions. You walk away with a working agent and a quote, or nothing changes.
