Question 3

What are Aircall’s plan prices and AI minute overage fees?

Accepted Answer

Aircall has seat-based phone plans plus an optional AI Voice Agent billed by the minute. Typical published seat pricing (annual): Essentials ~ $30/user/month; Professional ~ $50/user/month (seat minimums may apply). Seats include “unlimited” inbound/internal calling (toll-free excluded; fair-use applies). AI Voice Agent minutes are metered: • 1–500 min: $0.99/min • 501–2,500 min: $0.69/min • 2,501+ min: $0.49/min. AI minutes are billed in addition to seat licenses.

Question 4

How do total monthly costs compare for 100 inbound minutes?

Accepted Answer

Assumptions: inbound usage only; taxes/fees excluded. For per-call plans we assume ~2 minutes per call (100 minutes ≈ 50 calls). • RealTalk AI Starter — $38 (200 minutes included; no overage at 100 minutes) • Rosie AI Professional — $49 (unlimited minutes) • Aircall AI Voice Agent minutes only — $99 (100 × $0.99) • Aircall seats + AI minutes — ~$189 (3 Essentials seats at ~$30 + $99 in minutes) • Smith.ai Starter — $95 at ~50 calls. Sensitivity: at 1-min avg (100 calls) cost ≈ $215; at 3-min avg (~33 calls) cost ≈ $95. Results vary with seat minimums, call length, and bundle choices.

Question 5

Which plans include unlimited minutes or true pay-as-you-go?

Accepted Answer

Unlimited minutes: Rosie AI (published tiers list unlimited). Aircall seats advertise “unlimited inbound/internal” on the phone system itself, but AI Voice Agent minutes are still metered. True pay-as-you-go per minute: Aircall AI Voice Agent ($0.99 → $0.69 → $0.49/min tiers). Bundled minutes: RealTalk AI (tiered included minutes) and Smith.ai (per-call bundles with per-call overage).
