Written by Timothy Bramlett ·

At a glance

What it costs

$395/mo for 100 calls ($2.75 each after), per its docs. No trial; 30-day money-back.

The catch

About $3.95 a call, plus $3 every time it transfers a caller to a person.

Best alternative

Zinng: $49 for 300 minutes, call transfers included, 7-day free trial.

The short answer

Recepta.ai bundles voice, texting, web chat, web forms, booking and outbound calling on every plan, with same-day setup. It's also one of the pricier per-call options: $395 a month for 100 calls ($3.95 a call), plus $3 every time it transfers to a person.

Zinng costs $49 a month for 300 minutes (roughly 100 three-minute calls), with call transfers included and a 7-day free trial.

Recepta.ai pricing (checked October 2026)

Recepta.ai removed prices from its website (it now says "Book a quick call and get your quote on the spot"), but its documentation still lists the plans:

  • Starter: $395/month, 100 calls ($2.75 each after) and 100 chat/SMS conversations, 1 number.
  • Growth: $795/month, 300 calls ($2.50) and 300 conversations, 2 numbers.
  • Scale: $1,495/month, 750 calls ($2.25), 5 numbers, custom integrations.
  • Volume: $2,495/month, 1,500 calls ($1.95), 10 numbers.

Transfers to a person bill at $3 each; spam and robocalls don't count. Annual billing is 10 months for 12. There are no setup fees or annual contracts, and no free trial, but a 30-day money-back guarantee. Forward your calls to a dedicated number or port yours for free. It books through Calendly, Google or Apple Calendar and connects to HubSpot, Salesforce, Clio and Zapier.
