Pricing note. Moneypenny does publish a US price card, contrary to what an earlier version of this page said. The figures here ($165/50 min, $265/100 min, $422/200 min, $985/500 min; extra minutes $2.28/$2.12/$1.91/$1.67) were read directly off moneypenny.com/us/plans-pricing-people on 2026‑08‑20. Note that Moneypenny absorbed the VoiceNation brand in 2025, so a VoiceNation quote is a Moneypenny quote. We don't control their pricing and it can change without notice — check moneypenny.com before deciding. The “about 4.3× cheaper” figure is simply $422 ÷ $97. BizBot pricing is live at bizbottech.com/pricing.

Common Questions

Is Moneypenny worth the higher price?

For law firms, financial advisors, and enterprises that need dedicated human receptionists with complex scripting — possibly yes. For a contractor getting 50–100 calls/month, paying 5–10× more doesn't improve outcomes. BizBot Orbit handles contractor calls with purpose-built AI for a fraction of the cost.

Can BizBot handle complex call scripts like Moneypenny?

BizBot Orbit handles the 95% of calls a trades business gets: new lead, appointment request, existing customer question, emergency. Moneypenny is better for complex multi-step legal or financial intake. For home services, BizBot's vertical training outperforms a generic script.

How long does BizBot setup take vs. Moneypenny?

BizBot Orbit is live in under 24 hours — sign up, tell Orbit about your business, update call forwarding. Moneypenny's US onboarding typically takes 1–2 weeks including script development, receptionist briefing, and testing.

$97/Month. No Contracts. Live in 24 Hours.

Why pay $165–$985/month when purpose-built contractor AI is a flat $97?
