When comparing AI phone solutions, you'll encounter two main pricing models. Here's how to evaluate which actually costs less for your business.
You pay for actual talk time. A 3-minute call costs 3 minutes × rate. Simple, transparent, predictable.
You pay a flat rate per call, regardless of length. Sounds simple, but consider:
Divide the per-call price by your average call length. Compare that to the per-minute rate.
(Per-Call Price ÷ Avg Call Length) vs Per-Minute Price
Example: $1.50/conversation, 3-minute average calls:
$1.50 ÷ 3 min = $0.50/min effective rate
Compare to PhoneFlow's $0.25/min → per-minute wins.
Most business reception calls fall into these ranges:
For typical reception/answering use cases averaging 2-4 minutes per call, per-minute pricing is usually more economical. The transparency also makes budgeting straightforward.
If your calls consistently average 8+ minutes (complex sales conversations, detailed support tickets), conversation-based pricing could work. But for most business phone answering, shorter efficient calls are the goal - and per-minute rewards that efficiency.
