AI phone answering service
Trade per-minute call handling for a flat monthly plan — every call answered 24/7, no hold queue, no per-minute meter, no surprise bill. From $49/mo.
How this replaces a per-minute answering service
If you already pay an answering service — or you’re pricing one — this is what changes. handlo covers the same after-hours and overflow calls on a flat monthly plan, with no queue standing between your caller and an answer.
Flat monthly, not per minute
Plans start at $49/mo with included minutes, so a busy month doesn’t rewrite your bill the way per-minute and per-call billing does.
24/7 on every tier
Nights, weekends, and holidays are included rather than surcharged — the coverage doesn’t change when your callers do.
No hold queue, no busy signal
handlo picks up on the first ring and answers many calls at once, so your overflow never waits for an agent to come free.
Overage is opt-in and capped
Overage is off by default. Turn it on and extra minutes are billed at a low per-minute rate, up to a monthly spending cap you set — raise or lower it anytime in billing settings.
Month-to-month, no contract
Monthly plans are genuinely month-to-month: cancel any time and keep access to the end of the billing period. The trial runs 14 days.
Sits on top of your current phone
Keep your business number. handlo takes the calls your team can’t get to and the ones that arrive after you close.
