The Verdict

Smith.ai is the premium option — live agents and AI hybrid, professional service, strong integrations. But at $429+/month for a busy local business vs. $99/mo, it's 4× the price for the same outcome: every call answered. If you want a human touch, Smith.ai delivers. If you want economics that scale, AgentDepot wins.

Watch out for: Per-call billing after 90/month. Higher call volume = rapidly escalating bills. Human receptionists available but at $6-8/min.
