AI Receptionist Comparison
Aria vs My AI Front Desk
My AI Front Desk is popular and affordable. But Aria includes CRM and AI lead scoring that can help you close more deals from the same number of calls.
Quick Verdict
Choose Aria if you want an all-in-one solution that helps you convert calls into customers with CRM and lead scoring. Choose My AI Front Desk if you need the lowest possible price and already have your own CRM and follow-up systems.
The Real Question
What's more valuable: saving $170/mo or closing 2 more deals per month?
With My AI Front Desk:
You answer calls. Someone still needs to score leads, prioritize follow-up, and manage the pipeline.
With Aria:
Calls are answered AND leads are scored, prioritized, and organized in a CRM. You call back the hot leads first.
