Of 38 launched call-screening and answering services, 28 are fully automated AI, 7 blend AI with humans, and 3 stay human-only

Asked (summary):

Find publicly documented, currently available services worldwide that screen incoming calls, answer them, or act as AI secretaries — consumer and business — with service type, target user, problem solved, call handling, key features, pricing and billing model, availability, verification date and a source for every claim. Label status clearly; exclude announcements and experiments; write “not found” where data is missing.

This inventory covers 38 publicly documented services verified as launched and currently usable or purchasable on 31 October 2026: 23 business AI receptionists, 9 business answering services, 4 consumer call-screening tools and 2 developer voice-agent platforms. It is a researched inventory built from one public source page per service — not a claim that every service worldwide has been found; announcements, waitlists, experiments and discontinued products were excluded by status screening.

Even among the 9 traditional business answering services, 7 now advertise AI alongside live receptionists — AnswerConnect, for instance, lets customers mix human and AI answering call by call (abby.com).

Pricing spans two orders of magnitude: Smith.ai offers a free AI tier of 25 calls a month (ai.miraheze.org) while hospitality specialist Slang.ai starts at $399 per location per month (cloudtalk.io).

Billing models fragment by unit: of this inventory, 18 services bill by minutes or usage, 10 per call, 2 per user seat, and the rest by flat subscription or a free tier — Goodcall even bills per unique customer served (goodcall.com).

Method: researched inventory of 38 incoming-call screening, answering and AI-secretary services compiled from public web pages only, one source page per service; every fact in a row comes from that row’s linked source. Status screening kept only services described as launched and currently usable or purchasable; announcements, waitlists, experiments and discontinued products were excluded. All rows verified 2026-10-31. Handling (AI / hybrid / human) and billing-model groups are classifications of the source text; counts are counts of this inventory, not market totals. Cells saying “not found” mean the source did not state the field. Long cells are truncated on screen — tap to expand.
