Smith.ai pricing (2026)

Every plan Smith.ai publishes, what usage past a plan costs, a worked month and the questions to ask before you sign. Published by Ahoya — a competitor, so every figure links to Smith.ai's own page.

The short answer

Smith.ai publishes 5 paid plans, from $150 a month (Pro, 75 calls) to $800 a month (Enterprise, 500 calls; worked out from the published per-unit rate). There is also a free plan with 25 calls. Smith.ai's AI receptionist bills per answered call, not per minute, with a free plan for small volumes.

  • Month-to-month with no long-term contract; cancelling takes 30 days' notice.
  • Calls from known spammers are filtered before answering and don't count; you can also remove up to 10% of a month's calls as spam.
  • Only the 75-call Pro and 300-call Enterprise totals are printed; the other bucket totals below are the printed per-call rate × calls.
  • Above the largest Enterprise bucket, pricing is custom.

A worked month

A month of 100 calls averaging 3 minutes. We pick Smith.ai's cheapest plan that can be priced from what it publishes.

Smith.ai: Pro, 75 calls

$212.50/mo

  • Pro, 75 calls: $150, includes 75 calls
  • 25 calls past the plan × $2.50 = $62.50

Ahoya: Starter, 300 minutes

$69/mo

  • Starter: $49, includes 250 minutes
  • 50 minutes past the plan × $0.40 = $20
  • 100 calls × 3 minutes = 300 minutes of calls.
  • Billed per answered call, whatever its length: 100 calls.
  • Staying on Free would cost $225 ($0 + 75 × $3).

What the money buys

  • Free: 24/7 AI answering, recording and transcription, lead qualification, AI scheduling, native integrations and analytics.
  • Pro adds dedicated onboarding, live phone, email and chat support, and custom SMS branding.
  • Enterprise adds full-service setup and ongoing optimization, custom AI prompting, unlimited custom integrations, multi-location support, a dedicated success manager and transfers to a live receptionist.

Questions to ask Smith.ai before you sign

  • What share of your calls are under a minute? Each one costs a full call.
  • The 30-day cancellation notice means one more month's bill after you decide to leave.
  • On the free plan, does billing per call start automatically after the included calls?
  • Is the live-receptionist handoff on Enterprise billed on top of the call?

The cost traps that apply to every vendor are on the pricing comparison.

Where Smith.ai fits better

Smith.ai fits better when your calls are long and involved — a 10-minute intake costs the same as a 30-second one on per-call billing — or when you want the option of a live receptionist behind the AI, which Smith.ai also sells.

How Ahoya prices the same calls

Flat monthly minute plans. Past the plan, $0.40 a minute, and usage is hard-capped at 2× the plan's minutes — so the worst-case bill is printed below.
