Smith.ai Pricing (2026): What You'll Actually Pay

A service bills you per call, forever. SeldonFrame is a platform you (or your agency) own — AI receptionist, website, CRM, and booking for $29/mo flat, on your own keys.

The short version
  • Starts at: reported from ~$95/mo (~50-60 calls) up to ~$800/mo across three tiers
  • What stacks on top: Both the AI and human plans bill by the call — reported overage runs about $2.40/call beyond your plan's included volume, so busier months cost proportionally more.
  • SeldonFrame comparison: $29/mo flat, unlimited workspaces — no meters
