What this AI receptionist quiz does

Most AI receptionist providers look identical on their own websites: every one claims 24/7 answering, appointment booking and natural-sounding voices. The differences that actually matter — per-minute versus per-call pricing, whether a human can take over mid-call, whether Spanish is supported, whether the provider will sign a BAA — are buried in fine print. This quiz asks eight short questions about how your business actually takes calls, then scores every provider in our directory against those answers so you see a shortlist instead of a sales page.

It is free, takes about a minute, and does not require an email address to see your results.

What the quiz asks about

  • Industry. Law firm, medical or dental practice, real estate, restaurant, home services or general small business. Industry decides which intake questions and integrations matter.
  • Call volume. Weekly inbound call estimate, used to compare per-minute plans against flat-rate plans at your real usage.
  • After-hours coverage. Whether calls outside business hours need to be answered rather than sent to voicemail.
  • Appointment booking. Whether the receptionist must write into your calendar or scheduling system.
  • SMS follow-up. Whether callers should get a text with a link, address or confirmation after the call.
  • Bilingual support. Whether English plus Spanish handling is required.
  • Staffing model. AI only, hybrid AI with human escalation, or a human on every call.
  • Monthly budget. Used to drop providers whose entry plan does not overlap your range.

How your results are calculated

Required features act as hard filters: a provider that cannot book appointments is removed when you say booking is required. Everything else is scored — industry fit, pricing model against your volume, staffing model and budget overlap — and providers are ranked by total score. You see your top three matches with a plain explanation of why each one placed, plus five other strong options so you can sanity-check the ranking. Fit always determines the order; commercial relationships never move a provider up, and any partner listing is labelled as one.
