My AI Front Desk looks affordable on the pricing page. $99/mo sounds reasonable. But the minute caps are where it gets expensive.
Their Basic plan gives you 200 voice minutes. Their Growth plan gives you 300. That sounds like a lot — until you realize a typical small business gets 80-150 calls per month, and an average AI call lasts 2-3 minutes.
At 100 calls × 2.5 minutes each = 250 minutes. You've already blown past the Basic plan's cap. Now you're paying $0.25 for every extra minute.
A busy dental office getting 120 calls/month at ~3 minutes each = 360 minutes.
Basic plan: $99 + (160 overage minutes × $0.25) = $139/mo
Growth plan: $149 + (60 overage minutes × $0.25) = $164/mo
That's $1,668-$1,968/year — and it only goes up as your practice grows.
My AI Front Desk (realistic): ~$150/mo × 12 = $1,800
Milo (full agent team): $50/mo × 12 = $600
You save $1,200 per year. Every year. No setup fees, no overages, cancel anytime.
My AI Front Desk only keeps your last 100 call logs — on every plan except Enterprise. That means if you get 100+ calls in a month, you're losing data from earlier calls. No historical analysis. No trend spotting. No compliance trail.
With Milo, your call data is yours. No 100-log limit. Keep it, analyze it, export it.
Credit where it's due — My AI Front Desk has built solid features:
If you need a quick, no-commitment test drive, their free tier is genuinely useful. But once you're running a real business on it, the economics shift fast.
Your hours, services, common caller questions, booking rules, and how you want leads handled. We've done this for dental practices, law firms, HVAC companies, veterinary clinics, and more.
We build custom AI agents trained on your business. Test them with real calls for 30 days — no credit card, no commitment.
The agents run 24/7 — answering calls, booking appointments, qualifying leads, texting you summaries. $30/mo for AI receptionist, $50/mo for the full agent team. No minute caps. No overage fees. Cancel anytime.
Milo agents integrate with whatever CRM you already use — HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, or a simple email summary. You're not locked into a proprietary system where your data disappears if you cancel.
Our core focus is phone answering — it's where the highest value is for small businesses. For chat, we can integrate with your existing website chat or set up a complementary solution during deployment.
Milo's 30-day free pilot lets you test with real calls — more generous than 20 minutes. At $30–$50/mo vs My AI Front Desk's $99/mo Basic, you're saving from day one.
Yes. Both use modern LLMs for natural conversation. The difference is value — Milo includes more features at a lower monthly price, with a longer free trial to test before committing.
Yes. We set up your Milo agents while your current service is still running. Once tested, switch your call forwarding. Zero downtime, zero lost calls.
