Starting costs with Speakeasy Marketing are undeniably hefty. Not only do you have to pay for setup with certain plans, but some of Speakeasy’s custom plans are more than triple the price of Smith.ai’s Starter plan. To add insult to injury, you aren't even guaranteed 24/7 answering, which is only offered on Speakeasy's most expensive plan. With Smith.ai’s predictable per call pricing, free setup, and a low starting cost for plans, plus our 14-day money-back guarantee, you can save big and receive even better services than you can with Speakeasy’s most expensive plan.
Beyond marketing support, Smith.ai can do more for your business than Speakeasy can ever offer. We qualify leads, follow custom instructions, book appointments, accept secure payments, record and transcribe calls, and intake new leads — 24/7. Sure, Speakeasy offers basic scheduling and intake, but a majority of their features are hidden behind more expensive plans. And you could completely miss prospects who call in after-hours unless you take advantage of their diamond plan at a whopping $1,700 per month.
On top of that, Speakeasy only provides a dedicated team of receptionists for you to work with. Smith.ai, on the other hand, offers a larger, non-dedicated team of highly-trained virtual receptionists, so you not only get a variety of reliable assistance, but you get more high-quality, professional support than you would with just a limited pool of receptionists. Additionally, Smith.ai’s AI-backed technology gives our services a competitive advantage that Speakeasy can’t compete with.
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 Speakeasy Marketing.
