FirmVoice
We quote a flat monthly price around anticipated call volume, average call length, and complexity. Ordinary month-to-month usage does not create a surprise meter.

FIRMVOICE VS. SMITH.AI
Two serious receptionist options. Different levels of law-firm specialization.
Smith.ai is an established receptionist provider with AI and human options. FirmVoice is intentionally narrower: we build the receptionist and intake system specifically around the law firm's workflow and stay involved in improving that workflow over time.
FirmVoice is attorney-founded and built specifically around law-firm reception and intake.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE
We customize the system around your firm—not the other way around.
We map your receptionist and intake process, recommend improvements, build the agent around your rules, test it with you, and keep refining it after launch.
And your monthly price is established in advance instead of moving up and down every month based on ordinary usage.

WHERE SMITH.AI CAN MAKE SENSE
Different buyers want different things.
- Established AI and human receptionist offerings
- Broad integrations and business use cases
- Optional live-agent involvement
- Mature receptionist infrastructure
Smith.ai may be a strong fit for businesses that value a mature receptionist ecosystem, broad integrations, self-service and supported options, and access to optional human receptionist coverage.
WHERE FIRMVOICE IS DIFFERENT
We bring law-firm operating experience into the build.
FirmVoice was founded by an attorney and law-firm owner. The service includes more than configuring software: we help think through receptionist coverage, qualification, scheduling, routing, escalation, and intake best practices based on how law firms actually operate.
That matters because automating a weak intake process just gives you a faster weak intake process.
PRICING MODEL
Predictability matters when the phone rings more than expected.
Smith.ai publishes AI plans that combine monthly plan pricing with per-call usage. FirmVoice instead quotes a flat monthly price around expected call volume, average call duration, and workflow complexity, so ordinary changes in monthly usage do not create a constantly moving invoice.
Why that matters
Your busiest month is often the month you most need reliable reception. You should be able to answer more calls without worrying about every additional conversation changing the invoice.
Fair comparison
Published competitor pricing and features change. Verify current terms directly with Smith.ai before making a purchasing decision.
WHO IS FIRMVOICE FOR?
A law firm that wants a partner, not another DIY software project.
FirmVoice is strongest when the law firm wants the system designed around its own intake rules in detail and wants an attorney-founded partner helping decide what the receptionist should ask, when it should book, transfer, escalate, or route, and how the process can improve over time.
