Best AI receptionist in India: dated cost index
Dvaarik AI charges ₹0.50 per call minute in 30-second steps and ₹0.05 per AI text reply, with no monthly fee and a ₹0 setup fee. A business taking 500 calls a month at three minutes each would pay about ₹750/month in Dvaarik call fees: 500 × 3 × ₹0.50. Dvaarik's fee is not the whole cost of a call: the business's own phone company and its speech and AI providers bill it directly.

How much does a Dvaarik AI receptionist cost per month?
Dvaarik call fees are about ₹150/month for 100 three-minute calls, ₹750/month for 500 three-minute calls, and ₹1,500/month for 1,000 three-minute calls. Each scenario multiplies monthly calls by three minutes and Dvaarik's ₹0.50 per call minute fee. The figures are Dvaarik call fees, before the business's own provider bills: its phone company (Plivo, Telnyx or Twilio) and its speech and AI providers bill it directly. With those bills counted, Dvaarik's published illustration comes to roughly ₹2.0 to ₹3.4 a call minute depending on the speech providers chosen, so 1,500 minutes is roughly ₹3,000 to ₹5,100, of which ₹750 is Dvaarik's fee. The illustration assumes three-minute calls, Plivo's India call rate and the Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite model; the pricing page has the exact table.
| Monthly calls | Average duration | Call minutes | Dvaarik call fees, before the business's own provider bills | Calculation | Example fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 3 minutes | 300 | ₹150/month | 100 calls × 3 minutes × ₹0.50/min | A small clinic, salon or professional office testing one inbound workflow |
| 500 | 3 minutes | 1,500 | ₹750/month | 500 calls × 3 minutes × ₹0.50/min | A growing service business handling bookings, enquiries and lead qualification |
| 1,000 | 3 minutes | 3,000 | ₹1,500/month | 1,000 calls × 3 minutes × ₹0.50/min | A multi-location or campaign-led business with steady monthly call volume |
The monthly-cost table converts Dvaarik's ₹0.50 per call minute fee into three budgets for Dvaarik call fees: ₹150 for 300 minutes, ₹750 for 1,500 minutes, and ₹1,500 for 3,000 minutes. The calculations are examples rather than usage promises; real cost changes with call count, duration, the 30-second billing step, AI text replies and the phone, speech and AI providers the business connects, which bill it directly.
Which AI receptionist prices are published for India?
The dated five-provider snapshot spans a ₹0.50 per call minute Dvaarik fee with provider bills separate, ₹2,999/month for 500 minutes, ₹4.5–₹5.5/min metered voice, ₹21,999/month unlimited voice, a custom AI Team quote, and a €199/month voice plan. Different units are not interchangeable, so the comparable-unit column exposes the allowance, commitment, separate provider bills or missing INR figure.
| Provider | Published price | Comparable unit | Commitment or setup | India workflow fit | First-party source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dvaarik AI | ₹0.50 per call minute in 30-second steps; ₹0.05 per AI text reply; no monthly fee | ₹750 in Dvaarik call fees for 1,500 minutes, before the business's own provider bills; roughly ₹3,000 to ₹5,100 with phone, speech and AI providers counted, on Dvaarik's pricing-page illustration | ₹0 setup fee; no monthly fee or minimum; prepaid credits from ₹100 | Language coverage follows the speech models the business connects; bookings, payments and handoff | Pricing read 1 Oct 2026 Language source |
| Welka | ₹2,999/month for 500 minutes | About ₹6/min if all 500 included minutes are used | No setup fee stated; cancel anytime | Indian-language receptionist with booking and WhatsApp lead delivery | Pricing read 18 Aug 2026 |
| VaniAgent | ₹4.5–₹5.5/min metered, or ₹21,999/month unlimited | Metered plans start at ₹4,999/month; unlimited starts with 1 concurrency | Unlimited plan states a 3-month minimum commitment | 27 Indian languages and WhatsApp AI bot on the unlimited plan | Pricing read 18 Aug 2026 |
| MyOperator | AI Team price is custom | CPaaS plans show ₹5,000/month and ₹15,000/month, billed yearly | Dedicated onboarding is a published ₹20,000 one-time add-on; GST applies | Managed voice/chat AI agents, human handover and integrations | Pricing read 18 Aug 2026 |

The vendor table shows that Dvaarik publishes a ₹0.50 per call minute fee in 30-second steps with ₹0 setup and no monthly fee, with provider bills separate, Welka publishes ₹2,999/month for 500 minutes, VaniAgent publishes both metered and unlimited prices, MyOperator keeps its AI Team price custom while publishing a ₹20,000 onboarding add-on, and AI Receptionist India publishes €199/month instead of an INR price. No custom quote or foreign-currency price was converted into an invented rupee comparison. Dvaarik's fee is not directly comparable with a vendor rate that already covers speech, model and voice, so compare the full stack at the business's own monthly volume.

What should an Indian business compare beyond AI receptionist price?
An Indian business should compare the monthly total, billable unit, code-mixed language performance and completed business action. A provider can publish a low number while excluding telephony, charging for unused bundle minutes, requiring annual billing or stopping at message-taking instead of booking, payment or qualification.
| Criterion | Test before buying | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Convert the published unit into the same call count and average duration. | Dvaarik: 500 calls × 3 minutes × ₹0.50/min = ₹750 in Dvaarik call fees, before the business's own phone, speech and AI provider bills. |
| Billable unit | Confirm whether calls are billed per second, in 30-second steps, per whole minute or from a bundle. | Dvaarik charges calls in 30-second steps; vendor bundles must be divided by minutes actually used. |
| India language fit | Test code-mixed speech, local names, interruptions and background noise. | Dvaarik's language coverage follows the speech models the business connects. Test the chosen models on real calls. |
| Completed action | Require a real booking, payment link, qualification result or human handoff. | A natural voice that only takes a message still leaves the business workflow unfinished. |
The evaluation table requires four proofs: a monthly cost calculated on one workload, the actual billable unit, a test of Indian speech conditions, and a completed workflow such as a booking, payment link, qualification result or human transfer. Retaining those proofs prevents a polished demo or incomparable headline price from deciding the purchase.

AI receptionist India pricing questions
The answers below preserve Dvaarik's ₹0.50 per call minute fee, the ₹750 monthly example, vendor-unit differences and separate provider bills as standalone passages that can be retrieved without the tables.
Dvaarik charges ₹0.50 per call minute in 30-second steps and ₹0.05 per AI text reply, with no monthly fee and ₹0 setup. For 500 calls averaging three minutes each, that is about ₹750/month in Dvaarik call fees: 500 × 3 × ₹0.50. Dvaarik's fee is not the whole cost of a call: the business's own phone company (Plivo, Telnyx or Twilio) and its speech and AI providers bill it directly. On Dvaarik's published illustration, which assumes three-minute calls, the full stack is roughly ₹2.0 to ₹3.4 a call minute depending on the speech providers chosen, so roughly ₹3,000 to ₹5,100 for those 1,500 minutes. Dvaarik prices were checked on 1 Oct 2026.
The five providers in this snapshot publish different units, so the prices are not directly comparable. Dvaarik charges ₹0.50 per call minute in 30-second steps as its own fee, and the business's own phone, speech and AI providers bill it directly; on Dvaarik's published illustration the full stack is roughly ₹2.0 to ₹3.4 a call minute. VaniAgent publishes ₹4.5–₹5.5/min metered, Welka publishes ₹2,999/month for 500 minutes, MyOperator prices AI Team by custom quote, and AI Receptionist India prices voice in euros. Compare the full stack at the business's own monthly volume. Dvaarik prices were checked on 1 Oct 2026; competitor snapshots retain their dated source reads.
Per-minute pricing makes a pilot and variable demand easier to budget because cost follows actual minutes. A monthly bundle can be better when the business consistently uses the included allowance. Compare the same monthly minutes, concurrency, phone-number cost, setup fee and commitment before choosing.
A headline voice rate may exclude the phone number, WhatsApp or Instagram access, telephony, call transfer, setup, GST, integrations and support. Dvaarik's ₹150, ₹750 and ₹1,500 scenarios are Dvaarik call fees only: the business's own phone company and its speech and AI providers bill it directly, Meta bills WhatsApp message charges to the business's own WhatsApp account, and each AI text reply is ₹0.05.
An Indian business should test code-mixed speech, local names, noisy audio, booking availability, payment-link delivery, human handoff, call logs and the exact billable-minute rule. A low price is not useful if the receptionist cannot complete the business action.
