Beside
Interface, Inc.
A business phone line with an AI receptionist built in
Beside is a business phone line with apps for iPhone, Android and the web, plus an AI receptionist that answers calls and texts, books appointments and passes live calls to you with notes. Baseline is $29 a month, but the AI answers only 30 calls a billing period before callers go to voicemail; Unlimited is $99 with a 7-day trial. You can forward or port your number, or pick a new one. It works with US and Canadian numbers only, and support is by email and in the app, with no phone line.
Cost at your size
Beside costs $29 a month for one seat.
Beside costs $6 less than the median AI receptionist & answering tool for one seat ($35).
Beside pays for itself if it saves less than an hour a month at $30 an hour, our assumption.
