Stop paying $600/mo for an AI answering service

All plans include ongoing optimization. Tell us what to change and we'll update your agents — it's included in your monthly plan.

Q: Can I switch from Smith.ai without downtime?

Yes. We set up your Milo agents in parallel. Once tested, you switch your phone forwarding. Zero downtime.

COMP:003 // the real cost

The real cost of Smith.ai

Smith.ai is good at what it does. But their pricing model is built for their investors, not your bottom line.

How It Adds Up

Smith.ai's Starter plan is $292.50/mo for 30 calls. Most small businesses get 100-200 calls/month. At their per-call rates, you're looking at $600-$1,500/mo.

Over a year, that's $7,200 to $18,000. That's a lot for AI phone answering.

The 12-Month Comparison

Smith.ai: $600/mo x 12 = $7,200

Milo: $50/mo x 12 = $600

You save $6,600 in year one. Same savings every year after.

What Happens When You Cancel Smith.ai?

Everything disappears. Your call flows, your trained responses, your integrations — gone. You're starting from scratch with the next service.

With Milo, cancel anytime. No long-term contracts, no penalty. But while you're paying $30-50/mo, you get the same 24/7 AI phone answering without the per-call charges.

COMP:004 // built for

Who Milo is built for

Service businesses tired of renting AI they could own.

01

Dental practices

Losing patients to after-hours voicemail. Every missed call is a missed filling, a missed cleaning, a patient who found someone else.
02

Law firms

Missing intake calls on evenings and weekends. The potential client who can't reach you calls the next firm on Google.
03

HVAC and plumbing companies

Losing emergency jobs to the first competitor who picks up. When the pipe bursts at midnight, the one who answers gets the job.
04

Any service business

Paying $300-1,500/mo for answering services with per-call fees and call caps. Milo is $30-50/mo flat — no per-minute charges, no surprises.
