Why teams pick Fast Response AI as their Reception.ai alternative
Reception.ai can answer the phone and the web widget, but it can't text the customer back. In home services, that's the whole job.
Catch every call, text, and chat, even the ones you can't take
Every missed conversation is a job that goes to whoever picked up first. From the first ring to the follow-up, Fast Response AI runs your whole front desk so none of them slip, answer, reach out, record, and automate.
AI answers, or your team does.
You decide how every call is handled, and your people are never locked out of the AI, on iOS, Android, or the web.
(No silent takeover of a live AI call.)
What changes when you switch
Start at $29. $79 covers your whole team.
Two-way texting your customers actually use (Reception is phone + web chat only), unlimited concurrency so a storm-day spike never blocks at 3 calls, and $79 for your whole team, no jumping tiers to add a number, a receptionist, or a location.
Then simply pay-as-you-go, no seat tax, no surprise bot meter.

Automations, unlimited concurrency, and a built-in AI CRM, bundled into the $79 base and live in about 5 minutes, not gated behind enterprise tiers or per-seat upgrades.
Auto-text a caller the moment they ring, or push call details to your other tools by webhook, filtered by conditions you set. Included in the base.
A storm-day spike doesn't hit a busy signal. Every caller is answered at once, with no per-line caps.
Every call and text logged, recording, transcript, summary, in a CRM that builds itself. No data entry.
Leave Reception.ai in an afternoon
Keep your number (Reception releases yours 14 days after you cancel), port it over, no contract, two-way texting from day one, unlimited concurrency, live in about 5 minutes, free trial.
Porting is standard, your callers never notice the change.
Month-to-month. Try the free trial before you move anything.
No setup call, no rollout. Done before lunch.
