What an AI receptionist costs in the UK: a complete answer
An AI receptionist is a phone-answering service run by a trained software agent rather than a person. The price depends on three things: how many call minutes you need each month, how many languages your callers use, and whether you buy a tool you set up yourself or a managed service built for you. Eldris Voice is a managed service. The setup fee covers discovery, training on your business, scenario testing and the switch to live calls, which takes about 14 days. The monthly fee covers the agent, the call minutes in your tier and a weekly review of the calls it could not answer. For a comparison of human and AI options for smaller firms, see our small business phone answering guide.
Eldris Voice has three published tiers and Enterprise by quote. The right tier depends on your call minutes, the number of languages your callers use and how many service areas the agent must cover.
Starter covers one language pair and one service vertical, with 500 call minutes a month. Leads are delivered by email. The agent answers calls, handles qualifying questions and routes booked leads. It does not include call transcripts or a monthly tuning session.
Growth raises the language allowance to three and adds a second service vertical, for example property sales and lettings. It includes 1,500 call minutes a month. Leads go to Slack as well as email. You receive full call transcripts and a monthly tuning call with our team.
Scale includes all six languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin. Additional languages can be requested. The agent answers from your live knowledge base rather than only from its initial training. It includes 4,000 call minutes a month, an online reporting dashboard and weekly reports on the questions the agent could not fully answer and what we changed.
Enterprise is priced by quote. It adds voice cloning, white-label phone numbers, bespoke CRM integrations, a service-level agreement and private deployment. Email [email protected] to discuss requirements.
What decides the tier: minutes and languages. Starter’s 500 minutes are about 250 two-minute calls a month, or about 12 calls a working day. If you take more calls than that, or need a third language, Growth fits. Scale is sized for a busy inbound line or for callers in all six languages.

Eldris Voice is priced per month, not per minute. Your subscription includes a set number of call minutes; you are not billed for each call. A billable minute is any 60-second period in which the agent is handling a call. The clock starts when the call connects and stops when it ends.
If you approach your monthly allowance, we tell you. You can move up a tier, or minutes above the allowance are billed at the per-minute rate set out in your order confirmation. Calls are not cut off. You can move up or down a tier from the start of any billing month.
The Scale tier costs £1,497 a month, or £17,964 a year, plus a £997 setup fee, and covers all six languages. Compare that with the full cost of employing a person: salary, employer National Insurance, pension contributions, leave cover and recruitment. Starter, at £497 a month, suits firms that do not yet need a full hire.
The comparison is not only about cost. A person covers their own working hours. The agent answers at any hour and can switch language in the same call. It cannot replace a person on every call: some calls need a relationship. For first-line calls, compare the numbers above with your own.
The comparison further down this page lists, for each provider, the published price, languages, who sets the agent up, phone number and human fallback. Every competitor fact is quoted from that provider’s own page and was checked on 26 September 2026. Where a provider does not publish a fact, the table says so.

Setup fee. The setup fee covers discovery, training on your business, scenario testing and the switch to live calls. It is a one-off payment, charged at the start. It is not an annual charge.
Minute allowance. Each tier has a monthly minute allowance: 500 minutes on Starter, 1,500 on Growth and 4,000 on Scale.
Overage. If you exceed your monthly allowance, we tell you before you reach it. Minutes above the allowance are billed at the per-minute rate set out in your order confirmation. Calls are not dropped.
Changing tier and cancelling. You can move up or down a tier from the start of any billing month. Plans run month to month. You can cancel by email at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period (Terms of Service, section 6).
Refunds. Fees already paid, including setup, are not refunded. The exception: if we do not deliver the agreed service, you get a full refund of the fee for that service (Terms of Service, section 6.3).
What the setup fee does not cover. Bespoke CRM integrations beyond the standard connectors on Growth and Scale are scoped and quoted separately at Enterprise. White-label phone numbers, voice cloning and private deployment are Enterprise-only.
