Abby Connect sells both an AI receptionist and a human one, so there are two comparisons to make and they land differently. Against its AI Starter — $99/mo for up to 50 minutes — handlo is $49 for 300, and both offer a 14-day trial, so that one is straightforward. Against its human plans it is not a price contest at all: $329/mo for up to 100 minutes buys trained people who answer your calls, which handlo does not sell at any price. Neither Abby tier publishes a per-minute overage rate, so a month that exceeds your allowance cannot be costed from the pricing page — on handlo the equivalent figure is $0.29/min on Solo, and it stays off until you switch it on.
