Smith.ai's entry plan covers 30 calls per month. A typical home service contractor handles 80–150+ calls in a normal month — and 2–3× that during peak season. Omni AI covers every call at one flat rate, no matter what.
Per-call capped plans: $292/mo for 30 calls, ~$500/mo for 60 calls, ~$1,650/mo for 200 calls. Overages apply.
No setup fees. No contracts. 14-day free trial.

Smith.ai is a respected hybrid service (live agents + AI) that works well for professional service firms. For home service contractors, the per-call pricing model is a structural mismatch — busy seasons and storm surges turn manageable monthly costs into $1,500+ bills. Omni AI's flat-rate unlimited model was built specifically for the unpredictable call volumes contractors face.
A mid-size HVAC company handling 90 calls/month pays $700–$800+/month on Smith.ai (with overages). During a storm surge at 200 calls, that hits $1,500+. Omni AI charges $249/month flat — the same whether you take 30 calls or 300. Most contractors save $7,000–$9,000 per year switching from Smith.ai.
Smith.ai agents can arrange callbacks and gather intake information, but they don't integrate directly with job scheduling software to book in real time. Omni AI books directly into your calendar — the customer gets an instant text confirmation and you get a job notification within seconds of the call ending.
For professional service firms where conversation nuance matters above all else, yes. For contractors — where the job is to quickly qualify the request, check the service area, confirm availability, and book a slot — AI-first is faster, more consistent, and available 24/7 with no hold times or staffing gaps.
Yes. Omni AI includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You can run both in parallel — forward overflow or after-hours calls to Omni AI while testing. Once you see the booking rates and cost difference, you can cancel Smith.ai. Smith.ai is month-to-month (or check your annual contract terms).
