Vetted by Lobi

Smith.ai

24/7 answering with intake, scheduling and CRM handoff.

Smith.ai is built for businesses where a missed call is a lost case or a lost job — law firms, contractors, clinics and agencies.

Why we vetted Smith.ai

Their receptionists do more than take a message. They run your intake script, qualify the caller, and book the appointment straight into your calendar or CRM.

Coverage is 24/7, which matters for anyone whose clients call after hours and move on if nobody answers.

Watch the pricing

Billing is per call, so a busy month costs more than a quiet one. Screen out spam aggressively and set clear rules for what counts as a billable call before you scale it up.

Why it made our list

  • Their receptionists run your intake script and qualify the caller, which is why it is our pick for law firms, contractors and clinics where one missed call is a lost job.
  • Calls book straight into your calendar and push to your CRM, so the lead is on the schedule before you have finished what you were doing.
  • Coverage is 24/7 and priced per call — excellent value at moderate volume, so watch the plan tier once your call count climbs.
