An AI receptionist for a law firm typically costs between nothing and about $500 a month for a small or mid-sized practice. Free plans cover roughly 25 to 30 calls a month, and paid AI plans run from $150 to about $500 a month for 75 to 300 calls, or about $1.60 to $3 per included call. Human virtual receptionists cost more because people are billed by their time: published per-minute plans start at $250 a month for 50 minutes, per-minute rates run from about $1.50 to $5.00, and per-call human plans start at $300 for 30 calls. High-volume legal call centers quote individually, and one cites a typical range of roughly $900 to $5,700 or more a month for 24/7 coverage. Below is where those numbers come from, what each model adds on top, and what a firm taking 60 or 250 calls a month would actually pay.
