You have four real options, and KaiVox is only one of them. Here is each one next to the others — with the parts where we come off worse left in.
Every row below is something you can check yourself — on your own payslips, on a provider's own price page, or on this website.

Prices in the KaiVox column are ours and are current. Everything in the “someone you hire” column depends on who you hire — use your own numbers, not ours.
KaiVox works in one country, and that is the point. Everything about it assumes an Indian business, an Indian caller and an Indian phone line.
English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia — and it follows the caller if they switch mid-sentence.
Plans in ₹, a wallet in ₹, 18% GST shown where it belongs. No dollar invoice and no card conversion fee.
Forward the number already on your board and your visiting cards. Your callers dial what they always dialled.
It knows the holidays your business actually closes for, and tells callers when you reopen instead of booking them into a shut clinic.
Calls are counted in 60-second steps — a 65-second call is two minutes. Nothing is billed for a call nobody answered.
A recording and a full transcript of what was said, searchable, with the caller recognised the next time they ring.
We went through two of the best-built AI receptionist companies in the world, line by line. We are not naming them — you can find them in a minute, and we would rather you judged us on our own facts than on our description of somebody else's.
Both are built for the United States: US phone numbers, US dollars, English and Spanish. Neither will answer a caller in Gujarati or Marathi, and neither connects to an Indian line. That is the whole of our advantage — not that they are bad, but that they are not built for your callers.
Both companies' figures above are taken from their own public pricing pages, read on 14 October 2026. They change their prices; we will re-check this page and change that date when we do.
Ask these of us and of anyone else you are considering. The answers tell you more than a feature list does.
KaiVox answers in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi or Odia — and it follows the caller if they change language in the middle of a sentence. Most AI receptionists are built for English and Spanish.
No. You keep the number already on your board, your visiting cards and your Google listing, and forward the line to KaiVox. Nothing your callers know has to change.
It books. It reads your real calendar, offers times that are genuinely free, and writes the appointment in while the caller is still on the line — not a message for somebody to deal with later.
It does not guess. The call is flagged for you with the full transcript, and it can pass the caller through to your phone. An urgent one is marked urgent, so you see it first.
₹7.00 a minute from your wallet, counted in 60-second steps. Nothing is billed for a call nobody answered, and every rupee shows in your wallet statement. Ask anyone else exactly this question.
Yes. Ring our demo number as often as you like and speak to it the way your callers would — in Hindi, Gujarati or English. You will know within one call whether it suits your business.
Something you need that is not here? Ask us — if KaiVox is the wrong fit for your business we would rather say so before you pay.
The fairest comparison is your own ears. Ring the demo line and speak to it in Hindi, Gujarati or English — ask it the things your callers ask.
