06 What changes the cost
Four things move the price. Nothing else does.
How many systems we connect
A voice agent that only takes messages is cheaper than one that books into your calendar, logs to your CRM, and syncs to your job-management tool.
Clinic and privacy requirements
Allied health work carries extra privacy design and documentation aligned with the Australian Privacy Principles. That is why clinic setup costs more.
Call and task volume
Monthly tiers map to included call minutes and workflow volume. Most small businesses fit the middle tier.
Legacy or unusual systems
Standard tools (ServiceM8, Cliniko, Xero, Google Workspace) are quick to connect. Custom middleware for older systems adds build time and cost.
We don't discount because scope is vague — we tighten the scope
instead. If a quote ever differs from this page, the quote will say
exactly why.
