Dialzara
Budget AI receptionist with published per-minute overages, bilingual answering, and a $29/mo entry plan.
Dialzara is an AI phone answering service for US small businesses — trades, legal, insurance, and medical offices. The AI receptionist answers 24/7, takes messages, books appointments, qualifies leads, routes calls, and runs two-way SMS; the vendor also sells an AI SMS agent, a website chatbot, and outbound calling.
It competes on price transparency: every plan's minute allowance and per-minute overage rate is published, and white-glove setup is included on paid plans.
