AI receptionist vs answering service — the cost math

Scaffold. This post will hold the cost math Jonathan confirms. Until then, treat every dollar figure as TODO(jonathan): confirm answering-service vs AI monthly cost.

The leak

HVAC and plumbing lose jobs to voicemail after hours. See HVAC and plumbing. A traditional answering service bills per minute or per call. An AI receptionist plus missed-call text-back is a monthly automation line — Flux Ops on pricing.

What we are not saying

We are not saying AI is cheaper in every shop. We are not guaranteeing recovered revenue. We are saying: count missed calls for two weeks, price the answering service you already have, then compare to a scoped Flux Ops build.
