All answers
How much does an AI phone agent cost?

Off-the-shelf AI receptionists start at about $29 a month. Agency-built agents typically cost $1,500 to $5,000 to set up plus $300 to $800 a month, and large custom builds run far higher. At Digital Macaroni, a core agent is $2,500 and a custom agent starts at $6,000, plus a running plan from free to $749 a month.

Who maintains an AI phone agent: hosted, managed or self-hosted?

Every AI phone agent needs a phone line, call minutes and someone to keep it working. With hosted, we run it and you request changes as needed. With managed, we run it and make changes, tune it from real calls and report monthly. With self-hosted, we build it in your own accounts and your team runs it.

Custom AI phone agent vs. a free template build: what's the difference?

A template build can answer a call and book a slot in an afternoon, and for a simple test that may be enough. A production agent adds what keeps real customers happy: read-backs and corrections, your rules, connections to your systems, texting registration, handoffs, call logs and someone maintaining it.

Can I keep my business phone number with an AI phone agent?

Yes. You can port your existing number over so the agent answers it directly, forward calls from your current number to the agent all the time or only after hours, or keep your phone system and route calls to the agent. We work with Twilio, Telnyx or the phone system you already use.
