AnswerConnect
What it is
AnswerConnect provides live virtual receptionists who answer calls for businesses, with service available 24/7/365. Agents can take messages, route calls, qualify leads, and book appointments. The company says callers speak with people rather than automated voices or bots, and that its receptionists receive training tailored to client industries, including legal, healthcare, and franchise businesses. The Client Web Access portal lets customers view messages, usage, and account settings. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Microsoft Teams, Zoho, Slack, Zendesk, HubSpot, Setmore, and Zapier. Its mobile app supports viewing messages, calling or texting clients, adding notes and reminders, replaying call recordings, and setting availability. The Entry plan costs $350 a month for 200 minutes, with a $49.99 setup fee and $2.50 per additional minute. The first 30 interactions under 30 seconds per billing cycle are not charged; other interactions are rounded up to one-minute increments. There is no free plan or fixed contract, and customers can upgrade or downgrade plans anytime.
