GetCallers has slightly more limited sales capabilities. Smith.ai’s award-winning virtual receptionists customized their support to fit your needs.

At a glance, GetCaller’s prices may seem affordable, ranging from $5.00-$6.95 per hour per agent, but when you inevitably receive a chatty caller, you’ll wind up paying big. And your callers won’t be getting the quality responsiveness they expect unless you pay extra for more agents. With an additional $50 set-up fee, a 3.95% processing fee, and a $15 per day agent training fee, you’ll wind up paying more than you’d expect for their seemingly “affordable” services. Smith.ai’s pricing is much more transparent up front: We only charge per call, not per hour or per agent, so your monthly costs will be based on your call quota. That way, you won’t be stuck with a hefty bill for a lengthy call and you can rest assured that you’ll have access to dozens of professional agents ready to uphold the quality of all your calls. 

GetCallers acts more like a fancy call center. They can answer calls and book appointments, but they don’t seem to have the capability to handle much more than that. Smith.ai’s virtual receptionist services, however, have a much wider bandwidth. Our agents become a true extension of your office: answering calls with custom greetings, qualifying and screening leads, booking appointments, taking payments, making outgoing calls if you need, and so much more!

When it comes to technology, GetCallers fails in comparison to Smith.ai. GetCallers doesn’t advertise any online portal or dashboards, and as far as integrations go, Smith.ai takes the lead. We play well with over 30 CRMs, marketing platforms, calendars, billing systems, and intake forms. Furthermore, our AI platform searches for zip codes, connects to you via SMS and Slack, and is even a Zapier trigger (for our more tech-savvy users).

While GetCallers does advertise some call tracking or reporting capabilities, they’re incredibly vague about what they can actually do for managing your campaigns. Smith.ai’s Call Intelligence feature, on the other hand, offers valuable insight into your callers through detailed call analysis and reporting. We track key data, like caller type (e.g., new lead, existing client, spam), time of the call, priority, and even disposition, to give you insight into the actions taken on your calls. Add in comprehensive customization options like complex call routing, plus Outreach Campaigns for follow-up with leads and clients, and it’s clear to see that Smith.ai provides more comprehensive insight into your calls than GetCaller even offers.

And while GetCallers’ agents aren’t guaranteed to be North American-based or available 24/7, Smith.ai’s agents are. We hire bright and friendly North America-based agents who sound just like in-house. We ensure all of your calls, chats, and messages are handled by knowledgeable, experienced agents ready to nurture your leads through your sales funnels exactly as your sales team normally would. Plus, our team mans your phone lines day and night, so no matter when your callers reach out, they’ll always have a friendly representative available to assist them.

For growth-minded business owners who care about price transparency, seamless integrations, and robust customizations that deliver the experience of in-house customer engagement and sales development, Smith.ai is the superior choice for your 24/7 Virtual Receptionists partner, over GetCallers.

What our customers are saying

“I rely on Smith.ai to handle all of my firm's calls. Their intake process integrates with my practice management software, which saves me time. Plus, their professionalism means I pay a fraction of the cost of an in-house receptionist without sacrificing quality. I recommend Smith.ai to every attorney I see.”
REGINA EDWARDS
“Having someone professionally answer our phones is essential to operating a business. We engaged with Smith about 3 months ago and have been extremely pleased with the service they are providing us. They are very flexible and their integration with technology has functionally made a huge difference for us. I receive a SMS message and an email within seconds of a call with all pertinent information regarding the call. They ensure critical calls make it through to me and sales calls are screened. This makes my day much more productive and we get a professional service answering the phones.”
"Smith.ai has been a major hack into improving my business flow. Playing phone tag with potential clients and constantly getting interrupted with sales calls was so tiresome. Smith.ai has completely alleviated this problem. They screen all calls that come into my main office number so only critical calls get through to me, and they schedule appointments with potential clients after having carefully screened them through my intake process. I now save so much time and only have quality appointments booked. Less stress, more appointments. It's a total win!"
“Having real, live people answering the phone has made a huge difference in the volume of my practice, and I'm all about Smith.ai's technology-driven approach. I can focus on my clients without interruptions from sales calls and spammers, yet I remain in the loop when I'm in court or a meeting thanks to their text summaries. I love that Smith.ai manages my web chats now, too! They're one of the key reasons I was able to grow from a solopreneur to an 8 person team!
“Smith.ai has been integral to my business at CMIT Solutions of Morristown. Their service was extremely easy to set up and they have been extremely professional with their customer care. Having a live-answer service handle all my incoming calls gives my business a level of professionalism that it was missing and allows me to easily prioritize all of my call-backs. I highly recommend Smith.ai to any business looking for a live-answer service.”
"As small business owners, it is very important to have a professional image with a quick response to our phone calls. We are at ease knowing that our clients are being greeted with a professional, friendly and upbeat voice when they call our office. The message taking is very clear, concise and effective, and allows our contact with our clients to be frictionless, effective and progressive. The service quality and superior communication skills of the Smith.ai team makes them a true extension of our office."
