Virtual Receptionist Pricing in India: What SMEs Should Expect

A clear look at virtual receptionist pricing in India — from human staffing to WhatsApp AI receptionists like FirstHelloAI.

Human virtual receptionist services in India often charge per seat or per call minute, and after-hours coverage costs extra.

WhatsApp AI receptionists price more like software: a monthly fee for call answering, appointment booking, and lead capture.

FirstHelloAI is currently in beta at ₹499/month for early businesses, with launch pricing expected to be higher as features mature.

When you compare pricing, calculate cost per booked appointment — not cost per month alone. One recovered solar site visit or dental implant consult can pay for months of software.

Ask every vendor what happens on edge cases, language support, and whether your WhatsApp number stays under your control.
