Ahoya as a My AI Front Desk alternative
My AI Front Desk is another fast-moving AI receptionist with quick setup, texting during calls, and aggressive entry pricing on annual billing. Ahoya's differences are in the details that matter after week one: flat monthly billing without an annual commitment, bookings written straight into your calendar with reminders, team SMS on every captured call, and a trial that runs on a real phone number before any payment.

Why businesses switch from My AI Front Desk
Calendar bookings, not scheduling links
Texting the caller a link means the booking happens later, if at all. Ahoya completes the booking during the call, writes it into your calendar, and sends the reminder itself.
Flat monthly, no annual commitment
Headline prices built on annual billing lock a year in before you've seen a busy week. Ahoya bills monthly at a flat rate with a published overage — leave any month, keep your number.
The team loop is built in
Every captured call texts your team with the summary and callback number, urgent calls route to a human immediately, and reminders go out automatically — no extra automation project.

Frequently asked questions
Both set up in minutes — what should I actually compare?
Call both trial numbers with real questions from your business. Listen for pickup speed, how the voice handles interruptions, and whether the booking lands correctly in your calendar with the caller's details.
How does the billing differ?
Ahoya is a flat monthly rate with a published per-minute overage and no annual commitment. My AI Front Desk's advertised entry pricing centers on annual billing; check the monthly equivalent for a fair comparison.
How does booking differ?
Ahoya books the appointment during the call and writes it into your calendar, then texts your team and sends the caller a reminder. Link-based flows instead text the caller a scheduling link to complete themselves.
Can I keep my current number either way?
Yes — with Ahoya you forward your existing number or port it in with no downtime, and it remains yours if you ever leave.
