Agentis vs My AI Front Desk: Pricing, Features & Verdict (2026)

My AI Front Desk (MAIFD) is one of the most common entry-level AI receptionists — cheap, easy to try, and a reasonable first step for a business that just wants to test whether AI answering works for them at all.

So how does it actually compare to Agentis once you're serious? Honest breakdown below.

Quick verdict

Choose My AI Front Desk if: you're a very small business getting under 30 calls/month, you want the lowest possible entry price, and you're OK with per-minute billing you'll need to watch.

Choose Agentis if: you're getting 50+ calls per day, you want flat-rate unlimited pricing, bilingual English/Spanish by default, and a voice agent tuned for dental/medspa/contractor workflows specifically.

The math flips somewhere around 40–50 calls/month — below that, MAIFD is cheaper; above that, Agentis is cheaper and more capable.

What My AI Front Desk is

MAIFD is a general-purpose AI phone answering service. Their pricing leads with $55/month for 100 minutes, with overage at roughly $0.35–$0.50/minute depending on plan. They position themselves as a low-friction way to "get an AI receptionist for less than your Netflix bill."

That pitch is genuinely true for very small businesses. A solo consultant, a new contractor, an early-stage med spa doing 10 calls a week — MAIFD at $55/mo is a legitimate product-market fit.

Pricing structure:

• Starter: $55/mo for 100 minutes
• Growth tiers scale up in minute allotments
• Overages billed per-minute
• Pay-as-you-go options also available

What Agentis is

Agentis is a bilingual AI receptionist built specifically for dental practices, med spas, contractors, and service businesses with real call volume. Marcus (our voice agent) handles inbound calls end-to-end.

Pricing:

• Essentials: $199/month — unlimited calls, one location
• Professional: $399/mo — multi-location
• Enterprise: $799/mo — multi-agent

Flat-rate, unlimited. No per-minute billing.

Head-to-head

| Feature | My AI Front Desk | Agentis | |---|---|---| | Entry price | $55/mo (100 min) | $199/mo (unlimited) | | Pricing model | Per-minute over base | Flat monthly, unlimited | | Bilingual EN/ES | Limited | Included by default | | Industry focus | Generalist | Dental, med spa, contractors | | 24/7 coverage | Yes | Yes | | Appointment booking | Basic | Native calendar sync | | Voice quality | Decent | Strong | | HIPAA posture | Basic | BAA available | | Setup time | Minutes | 24–48 hours (configured) | | Predictable bill | No (usage-based) | Yes |

The pricing math — this is the whole article

Let's actually do it. Average call in a dental or med spa context is ~4 minutes (new patient intake runs longer; quick reschedules run shorter). Let's use 4 minutes as the baseline.

At 10 calls/day (300 calls/month):

• Call-minutes: 1,200 minutes
• MAIFD: 100 min base + 1,100 min overage × ~$0.40 = ~$495/month
• Agentis: $199/month flat

At 20 calls/day (600 calls/month):

• Call-minutes: 2,400 minutes
• MAIFD: ~$975/month
• Agentis: $199/month flat

At 5 calls/day (150 calls/month):

• Call-minutes: 600 minutes
• MAIFD: ~$255/month
• Agentis: $199/month flat

At 2 calls/day (60 calls/month):

• Call-minutes: 240 minutes
• MAIFD: ~$111/month
• Agentis: $199/month flat

The crossover is roughly 3 calls/day. Below that, MAIFD wins on price. Above that, Agentis wins on price AND gets you the unlimited-call psychological freedom (you never have to think about whether a long call just cost you money).

Where MAIFD genuinely wins

1. Trial-friendly entry price. $55/mo is a trivial amount to test whether AI answering works for your business. It's hard to beat as a "let me just see."

2. Pay-as-you-go option. If you genuinely get 5 calls a month, paying per-use is cheaper than any flat plan.

3. Ecosystem breadth. They serve more industries than we do. If you're running something oddly-specific like a tattoo parlor or a mobile notary, their general-purpose config is more flexible than our dental/medspa-tuned setup.

Where Agentis wins

1. Predictable billing. You know what you're paying every month. A spike in calls (toothache Monday, holiday reopening, local news mention) doesn't punish you.

2. Bilingual by default. If your practice serves any meaningful Spanish-speaking population, Marcus handles Spanish natively on every plan. MAIFD's Spanish support is more limited.

3. Vertical tuning. Our scripts and conversation flows are pre-built for dental/medspa workflows. Emergency triage, insurance questions, appointment types, new patient intake — these are configured to industry-realistic flows, not generic.

4. Voice quality. Subjective, but test both on a call. Marcus sounds closer to a trained front desk; MAIFD sounds closer to an IVR.

5. Unlimited removes a mental tax. You stop thinking about whether to route that chatty patient through AI or a human. You just let Marcus handle it.

The honest segmentation

This one is genuinely clean:

• Under 3 calls/day → MAIFD wins on price. Use them.
• 3–10 calls/day → Tossup. Price is similar; decide on bilingual and vertical fit.
• 10+ calls/day → Agentis wins on price AND capability by a wide margin.

Most dental practices and med spas are well above 10 calls/day. Contractors can go either way depending on job-site volume.
