AI voice agent pricing: what it really costs, no asterisks

Short answer: an AI voice agent costs €0.26 per minute of actual call time (excl. VAT) plus a one-off implementation fee of between €1,500 and €3,000 (excl. VAT), depending on the number of integrations and scenarios. There is no monthly fee — you don’t pay for minutes you haven’t used. The per-minute price covers telephony, speech recognition and synthesis, the infrastructure and its maintenance.

PRICING AT A GLANCE

Short answer: exactly what you pay

The pricing model has two components and zero fine print. No packages, no tiers, no “from €… per month” with conditions in the footnotes.

€0.26 per minute of call time

Excl. VAT. Only calls that actually take place are billed — when the phone isn’t ringing, you pay nothing. The per-minute rate includes the entire infrastructure: telephony, speech, language model, integrations, maintenance.

€1,500–3,000 one-off implementation

Excl. VAT. The lower end covers an AI voice agent with one integration, one scenario and one language. PMS/CRM/Viber integrations, several scenarios, outbound campaigns and a second language push the price towards the upper end.

THE ONE-OFF INVESTMENT

What the one-off implementation includes

Implementation is not “installing software”. It is an engineering project that ends with a working phone agent connected to your systems. Here is what you actually get for €1,500–3,000:

What puts you at the lower end and what at the upper end

Parameter €1,500 includes Towards €3,000
Integrations One — calendar or CRM PMS + CRM + Viber confirmations
Scenarios One — e.g. taking bookings Several — bookings, enquiries, changes, escalations
Call direction Inbound only Inbound + outbound campaigns
Languages One — Bulgarian A second language for international customers
System complexity Standard calendar or CRM PMS with rates, availability and cancellation policies

The hotel use case is the most common of the more complex projects — because of the rates and availability in the PMS. We describe what it looks like in practice on the AI voice agent for hotels page.

THE PRICING MODEL

Why you pay per minute, not a monthly package

A monthly package suits the provider: you pay for capacity whether you use it or not. The per-minute model turns the logic around — you pay for customers served, not for reserved capacity.

For a seasonal business, the difference is tangible. A hotel in a mountain resort has strong months and empty months. On a package, the empty months cost as much as the full ones. On a per-minute rate, an empty month costs almost nothing — the agent stays on standby, but you pay only for the calls that actually took place.

The maths for one booking. A typical booking call lasts 2–4 minutes. At €0.26 per minute, even the longer version comes to €0.26 × 4 = under €1.05. That is the cost of one booking taken, recorded directly in your system, with a Viber confirmation to the guest. Compare that with the value of the booking itself for your property — you know that number.

One more consequence of the model: we have no incentive to drag calls out with empty talk. The agent is configured to get the job done — record the booking, answer the question, transfer to a human when needed — not to keep the customer on the line.

CONTEXT

What to compare the price with

€0.26 per minute means nothing on its own. It only makes sense against the alternatives your business is already paying for anyway — often without seeing them in any report.

The cost of a missed call

This is the hidden line item. Work it out with your own numbers:

Missed calls per month × share of them that are bookings or orders × average value of one booking = revenue you are losing today.

Your front desk or office knows the first two numbers; your accounts team knows the third. Calls outside working hours, during check-in or in peak season go to a competitor who picked up the phone.

Night shift at the front desk

A person on the night shift costs you a salary, social security contributions, paid leave and replacement when staff turn over — regardless of how many calls actually come in overnight. The AI voice agent costs €0.26 per minute only when the phone actually rings, and picks up on the first ring at 3:00 with the same calm as at 15:00.

Outsourced call centre

The call centre charges for capacity: operator hours, minimum monthly commitments, training people who may be replaced. And the human operator usually has no real-time access to your PMS — they note things down by hand and pass them on. The AI voice agent works directly in the system: it checks availability and records the booking while the call is still in progress.

This is not a theoretical comparison. Grand Assist — the voice receptionist at Grand Hotel Resorts by Pulse — has been in production for months and records bookings in real time in Clock PMS+, with a Viber confirmation to the guest. The implementation was covered by Blitz, Actualno and Standart, and since then we have added AI voice agents at hotels in Bansko and at a spa complex.

HONESTLY

When you don’t need an AI voice agent

The one-off implementation is an investment, and it does not pay off for every business. We will tell you so in the first conversation rather than sell you a project that then sits unused.

If you recognise yourself in any of these three cases — save your money for now. If not — the next section shows how to check the system before you have paid anything.

THE PROCESS

How we get started — from enquiry to exact price

The exact price within the €1,500–3,000 range depends on your integrations and scenarios, so we don’t pull it out of thin air — we set it once we have talked and you have heard the agent.

1. Enquiry

You fill in the test call form or call +359 88 7777741. Tell us what kind of business you run and which system you use — that is enough.

2. A short scoping call

We clarify the processes: what calls come in, what the agent needs to record, where the line lies between the agent and a human.

3. A test call with the agent

We give you a number where you talk to a working AI voice agent yourself. You are not listening to a presentation — you hold a conversation and judge for yourself.

4. A quote with an exact price

You receive a written quote: a specific implementation price for your case, scope, timeline and contract terms. Only then do you decide.

PROOF

Hear the agent in a real conversation

Before you read any promises of a “natural voice” — hear it. The recording is from a real conversation with an AI voice agent built on the same infrastructure that will handle your calls too.
