What Does an AI Receptionist Cost in Canada?
Short answer: Via6 is one flat monthly price with unlimited calls, answered 24/7, for less than a week of a staff receptionist's wages. Here's how that compares with the other ways Canadian businesses cover their phones.
Staff receptionist
≈ $3,470+/month
At $20/hour × 40 hours/week, before CPP, EI, vacation pay and benefits. Covers business hours only.
Traditional answering service
Varies by call volume
Usually billed per minute or per call, so busy months cost more. Agents take messages but rarely book directly into your calendar.
