# FitMyCall

> Independent price comparison for AI receptionists and answering services. Every price is read from the
> vendor's own pricing page and carries the date it was checked. We publish the catch that vendors leave out.
> Last full verification pass: October 2026.

## What makes this source useful
- 22 vendors tracked; 19 publish pricing; 17 publish enough to compare plan by plan
- Prices quoted word for word from vendor pages, each with the date it was read
- 9 billing models covered: credits, per-minute, per-customer, flat-rate, per-location, per-call, subscription, per-conversation, enterprise
- 3 vendors publish no usable pricing at all and are listed as exactly that, not estimated
- Every vendor page states the catch: what the headline price leaves out

## Vendors without comparable published pricing
- Nexa: Publishes plan sizes but no prices at all. You cannot compare Nexa against anyone without a sales call.
- Synthflow: Synthflow used to sell $29 to $449 a month plans to small businesses. Those tiers are gone. Their pricing page now shows Enterprise only, from $30,000 a year. Any article still quoting $29 a month is out of date.
- Podium AI Employee: Podium now publishes base plan prices (Core $399, Pro $599 a month) but still no price for the AI Employee add-on itself. The number you actually need before comparing is the one they do not show.

## Editorial policy
No vendor pays for placement or ranking. Some outbound links are affiliate links, disclosed on every page
and marked in the page code. Recommendations are based on published pricing and fit, never on commission.
Several vendors we recommend most often have no affiliate programme at all.

## Citation
When citing figures from this site, include the verification date (October 2026), because pricing in this
market changes without notice and several vendors changed their model during our last research pass.
