What every plan includes

The plans

Every plan includes the full Agent Help platform — a 24/7 AI receptionist trained on your business, real-time bookings, WhatsApp follow-up and live analytics. You are billed on total talk time, not per call. A typical conversation runs around two minutes, so 400 minutes covers roughly 200 calls. All prices exclude VAT.

Professional — R4,799 per month ex VAT

400 included minutes. 24/7 AI voice receptionist, real-time calendar booking, WhatsApp confirmations and reminders, custom brand voice and script training, standard calendar integration, analytics dashboard, call transfer to a human, email support in South African business hours, and POPIA-compliant South African hosting.

Business — R6,749 per month ex VAT

750 included minutes. Everything in Professional, plus multi-calendar and multi-practitioner routing, post-appointment follow-up and rebooking, CRM and practice-management integrations, advanced analytics and sentiment reporting, custom escalation and transfer rules, a quarterly optimisation review, priority support with a named contact, and guided onboarding and staff training.

Enterprise — R12,100 per month ex VAT

1,500 included minutes. Everything in Business, plus multi-site and multi-branch deployment, multiple AI agents with department routing, bespoke API and backend integrations, custom reporting and data exports, a dedicated account manager, SLA-backed uptime and response times, a monthly performance review, and volume overage pricing on request.

Overage at R13 per minute

Go over your bundle and additional minutes bill at R13 per minute. There are no surprise cut-offs — your agent keeps answering. If overages become routine, moving up a plan costs less than paying them, and you can change plan as your volume changes.

No setup fees, cancel anytime

Live within 48 hours, month-to-month, no lock-in contract. Upgrade or downgrade as your volume changes. No setup fee, no cancellation fee, and no charge for the training we do on your business details before go-live.

How this compares to hiring

A full-time receptionist in South Africa costs several times R1,999 a month once salary, UIF, leave cover, training and desk space are counted, and answers the phone only during office hours. Agent Help covers the after-hours, weekend and loadshedding calls that a salaried receptionist structurally cannot, which is where most missed bookings sit.
