AI answering service
AI Answering Service for Small Business
An AI answering service answers your business phone with a voice AI instead of a live operator. Missed No More Pro picks up every call 24/7 in your business's name, answers questions from your own information, quotes exact prices from the rates you approve, books appointments on your calendar, and texts your team the moment a real lead comes in.
Plans from $50/mo · 7-day free trial · no overage charges
How an AI answering service works
- 01
Connect your number
Forward your existing business line to us, for every call or only when you don't pick up, or claim a new local number from your dashboard.
- 02
Tell it about your business
A guided setup covers your services, hours, service area, and common questions. Upload a price sheet or FAQ document instead of typing it all in.
- 03
Approve and go live
Nothing goes live until you review it. Call your own AI from the dashboard first to hear exactly what your customers will hear.
- 04
Every call handled and logged
Each call gets a summary and transcript in the built-in CRM, and your team gets a text alert when a lead needs attention.
What it does on every call
- Answers 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays
- Screens out sales pitches and robocalls
- Answers questions from your FAQs, word for word
- Quotes exact prices from your approved rates
- Books, cancels, and reschedules on Google Calendar
- Warm-transfers callers who need a person
- Texts confirmations, reminders, and missed-call text-backs
- Logs every caller, transcript, and quote in a CRM

What an AI answering service costs
Flat monthly plans based on AI minutes, the time the AI is actually on the phone with a caller. Every plan is a hard cap: if you reach your limit, calls forward to your phone instead of creating overage charges.
Starter
$50/mo
200 AI minutes
Solo operators who never want to miss a call
Growth
$100/mo
400 AI minutes
Teams that want more leads converted
Professional
$200/mo
800 AI minutes
Growing teams that dispatch and need insight
Built for local service businesses
It works for businesses that go out to the customer, like home services and towing, and for businesses customers visit, like salons, barbershops, and repair shops. Pick your trade in setup and the AI asks the right questions for it.

FAQ
AI answering service questions
What is an AI answering service?
An AI answering service uses a voice AI, instead of a live operator, to answer your business calls. Missed No More Pro answers 24/7 in your business's name, answers questions from your information, quotes prices from your approved rates, books appointments, and logs every call in a CRM.
How is it different from a live answering service?
A live answering service usually takes a message for you to return. An AI answering service can finish the job on the call: quote the price, book the appointment, text a confirmation, and alert your team, for a flat monthly price instead of per-minute or per-call billing.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
It speaks in a natural voice and answers in your business's name, but it never claims to be human. If a caller asks, it tells them it is an AI assistant, and it can warm-transfer anyone who wants a person.
Can it answer calls after hours and on weekends?
Yes. It answers every call, day or night. Bookings only go into open times inside the business hours you set, and urgent after-hours calls can be texted straight to your on-call person.
What happens when it can't answer a question?
It never makes up an answer or a price. It takes the caller's details and a callback number and lets your team know, or warm-transfers the call if you've set that up.
How much does an AI answering service cost?
Missed No More Pro plans are $50/month for 200 AI minutes, $100/month for 400 AI minutes, and $200/month for 800 AI minutes. Annual billing saves 20%, every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and every plan is a hard cap with no overage charges.
