Why is the AI Receptionist a separate add-on?
Base plans cover your operations bundle. AI call answering uses live voice minutes, so it is priced separately and added only when you want Maidpilot to answer inbound calls.
Base operations plans cover CRM, scheduling, and related tools. Live AI call answering consumes voice minutes, so it is priced separately.
You add the AI Receptionist only when you want MaidPilot to answer inbound calls. That way teams who only need ops tools are not forced to pay for voice capacity.
If you prefer a single combined price, receptionist bundle plans package Starter operations with a receptionist tier.
Either path grants the same AI Secretary feature once enabled — only packaging and minute allowances differ.
