AI Receptionist Pricing in India: A Dated Public-Price Dataset
Compare AI receptionist prices by delivered workload and commercial scope, not the smallest headline number. This dataset records public information checked on 7 October 2026. VaniAgent is the publisher and a listed supplier, so the table is not an independent or paid vendor ranking.
Download the public-price dataset. It preserves currency, source, collection date, included scope and unresolved costs. Configurable developer platforms are included as buying alternatives, not asserted to be equivalent ready-to-run Indian receptionist services.
Official public observations
| Offering | Public observation on 7 October 2026 | Comparison boundary |
|---|---|---|
| VaniAgent metered | ₹4.50/minute; ₹4,999 monthly credits; ₹2,999 onboarding | Page lists AI layers and network cost included, one concurrent call and GST excluded |
| VaniAgent Unlimited Vani TTS | ₹17,999/month; three-month minimum; no onboarding | Vani TTS scope and one concurrent call; not unlimited simultaneous calls |
| Retell pay as you go | USD $0.07–$0.31/minute advertised range | Configuration, telephony and add-ons require component review |
| Vapi usage model | Hosting plus model, voice, transcriber and telephony components | Delivered India total is unknown without configuration and quote |

Normalize only what the evidence supports
For a 1,000-minute fictional VaniAgent metered scenario, usage at the published rate is ₹4,500. If the quoted monthly payment operates as the stated credit floor, recurring pre-tax cost is ₹4,999, not ₹9,499. Adding published onboarding gives ₹7,998 before tax in the first month. Confirm credit consumption, rollover and billing increments in the quote before relying on this calculation.
For the published unlimited plan, the minimum three-month base commitment is ₹53,997 before tax. A one-call concurrency limit means the plan must still be sized for peak arrivals and overflow. Unlimited minutes do not establish unlimited capacity.
For Retell, multiplying the advertised range by 1,000 gives $70–$310 for that quoted range's scope. It is not a verified total India receptionist quote. Do not convert that range into a competitive INR claim while omitting carrier, add-on or implementation costs. Vapi's delivered total remains unknown here because the required component configuration is unspecified.
Ask for the missing commercial facts
Request number availability and ownership, carrier destination rates, billed increments, transfer charges, failed-attempt policy, concurrency, storage, integration work, support and tax. Separate recurring operating cost from setup and minimum commitment. Record quote-only fields as unknown rather than zero.
Correction and update policy
Retain the dated row and source when a price changes, then add the new observation instead of silently rewriting history. A correction should identify the affected offering, original observation, evidence and revised interpretation. Recheck public pages before purchasing and periodically while the comparison remains published. This small dataset supports a transparent buying conversation; it does not prove market-wide completeness, call quality or the lowest total cost.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI receptionist is cheapest in India?
This dataset cannot establish a universal cheapest provider. Match scope, currency, carrier, taxes, concurrency, commitment and implementation costs before comparing totals.
Why is there no INR conversion for every platform?
A currency conversion alone does not include India telephony, provider components or tax. Unknown delivered costs remain unknown.
When were these prices checked?
The listed official public pages were reviewed on 7 October 2026. Verify the linked pages and a dated quote before purchasing.
Continue planning your workflow
See the parent guide, calling costs, or request a scoped demonstration. Examples and test resources are educational; verified provider configuration and measured customer results must be evaluated separately.
