Abby Connect has run a human receptionist service for about 20 years and now sells AI answering on the same subscription. Plans are counted in Abby Minutes: Starter costs $164 a month for 50, Essential $329 for 100 and Professional $599 for 200, and minutes double when calls go to the AI receptionist. You decide which calls the AI handles and which go to a US-based person, and you can change the mix at any time. Setup starts with an onboarding call where the team captures your greeting and questions, and Abby audits AI responses over time. English and Spanish are included, and caller data is available in the AbbyGo app and portal or synced to CRMs and calendars. For dental offices, the human option helps with anxious patients and billing disputes, but the price per minute is high and the site lists no dental PMS integration.
