Virtual Receptionist Pricing
What a Virtual Receptionist Actually Costs in 2026
Human virtual receptionist services quote a low monthly base, then bill you per minute on top. Voksha charges $14/month for 15 calls and $1 per call after that, with nights, weekends and every language included.
Overview
What a Virtual Receptionist Pricing Does.
Virtual receptionist pricing in 2026 falls into two models. Human services charge a $99 to $350 monthly base plus per-minute usage, so your bill moves with call length. AI virtual receptionists charge per call: Voksha is $14/month for 15 calls, then $1 per additional call, with no after-hours or per-language premium.

The Problem
Why the Old Model Costs You Calls.
What a per-minute human service and a voicemail box quietly lose.
The per-minute meter
A five-minute call at a live service can cost more than a whole month of Voksha Starter. You cannot forecast the bill because you cannot forecast call length.
The rounding rule
Most live services round every call up to the next full minute. A 20-second wrong number is billed as a full minute, every time.
The after-hours premium
The nights and weekends you most need covering are the hours that carry a 30 to 50% surcharge.
The bilingual add-on
Spanish coverage is sold as an upgrade, and the third and fourth languages your callers speak are simply not available.

Virtual Receptionist Pricing by Voksha
Voksha replaces per-minute meters and hold queues with AI that answers in under a second, books appointments, and hands your team a clean summary of every call.
- One number you can forecast: $14/month covers 15 calls, and every call beyond that is exactly $1.
- No per-minute meter, so a long, high-value conversation never costs more than a hang-up.
- Nights, weekends and holidays bill at the same rate as a Tuesday morning.
- All 200+ languages are included at every tier, not sold as a bilingual upgrade.
- No setup fee, no minimum term, and no annual contract to escape from.
How It Works Day to Day.
Forecast the line item
Multiply your monthly call count by $1 and you have your bill. Finance stops seeing a variable number every month.
Stop paying for wrong numbers
Spam and misdials are handled and counted as calls, not billed as rounded-up minutes at a premium rate.
Cover the hours that convert
Evenings and weekends are when most consumer service calls land, and they cost the same as any other hour.
Scale without a renegotiation
Move from 15 calls to 150 by changing plan, not by opening a contract renewal with an account manager.
Human virtual receptionist services typically start between $99 and $350 per month for a small block of minutes, then bill per minute above it. Voksha, an AI virtual receptionist, starts at $14 per month for 15 calls and charges $1 per additional call, with a $99 Premium plan covering 150 calls.
Per-minute billing charges you more for the calls that matter most, because a serious enquiry runs longer than a wrong number. Per-call pricing charges $1 whether the call lasts 40 seconds or six minutes, so your cost per booked appointment falls as conversations get more valuable.
No. Voksha has no setup fee, no minimum term, and no annual commitment. You keep your existing phone number, configure the receptionist in about five minutes, and can cancel at any time.
No. Calls at 2am on a Sunday bill at the same $1 rate as calls at 2pm on a Tuesday. Many human virtual receptionist services add a 30 to 50 percent premium for out-of-hours coverage.
Each additional call is $1 on Starter and Premium. Nothing stops working and no call is dropped. If you consistently exceed your plan, moving to the next tier lowers your effective per-call rate.
