All the coverage of a receptionist, none of the hiring. handlo answers every call, greets callers in your business’s voice, qualifies them, and sends you the details.
A virtual receptionist answers your calls so you don’t have to — but human services bill by the minute and a hire is a salary. handlo is an AI virtual receptionist: it answers every call 24/7 in your business’s voice, handles questions, qualifies callers, and texts you a brief, all on flat monthly pricing.
handlo answers every call 24/7 — no salary, no per-minute answering-service retainer, no missed calls when you’re busy.
Tell handlo about your business, hours, and services; it greets and answers callers the way you would.
Predictable pricing that doesn’t climb with your call volume, unlike per-minute receptionist services.
This is the honest limit of the comparison. A trained receptionist can read a difficult caller, improvise, and take responsibility for a decision. handlo cannot do any of those things, and no amount of setup will make it.
What it can do is answer every call, ask the same questions every time, and never be at lunch. If your calls are mostly enquiries, bookings and intake, that trade is usually worth making. If they are mostly delicate conversations, it is not.
Compare on the total cost of coverage rather than an hourly rate. handlo is $49/mo month-to-month with 300 included minutes — about 75 four-minute calls — and $109 or $279 for the larger allowances. There is no recruitment, no holiday cover, and nothing charged for the hours when the phone does not ring.

If you don't capture a missed call in the first 48 hours, just cancel — we'd be surprised.
