posh.comAI + Live Receptionist Plans & Pricing, Vogue AI card
- What it bills by
Posh meters receptionist minutes, not calls: the AI plans bundle a pool of mixed AI and live minutes each month, so a long call consumes more allowance than a short one.
Their words
All our virtual receptionist pricing plans are based on receptionist minutes. Pick the monthly package that best fits your requirements and you're effectively just paying for the time a receptionist spends handling a call
posh.comFAQs, "How does pricing work?"
- Past your allowance
Yes
Past the bundled minutes you keep being answered and pay a published per-minute overage, charged at two different rates depending on whether the AI or a live receptionist handled the time.
Their words
Overage $2.20/Live Min. $1.10/AI Min.

What it does on the call
8 answers
- Books appointments
Yes
The AI receptionist books and reschedules appointments during the call and confirms availability, with calendar software connected through Posh's integrations rather than by sending the caller a link.
Their words
Your Posh AI receptionist can book and reschedule appointments, answer questions about services and pricing, and confirm availability - all without keeping your clients on hold.
posh.comAI Answering Designed for Your Industry, Salon section
- Transfers to a person
Partly
A caller who asks for a person is transferred to a Posh live receptionist immediately and at any point in the call, but Posh does not document a warm transfer that briefs you or your team first.
Their words
And whenever a caller wants to talk to a human receptionist, the AI receptionist transfers them immediately.
posh.comHow It Works section, third paragraph
- After-hours rules
Yes
Answering runs 24/7/365 including nights, weekends and holidays, and the AI switchboard can route differently by time of day, keyword or caller details, so out-of-hours handling can differ from daytime.
Their words
Our AI switchboard can screen and route by keyword, caller details, time of day, or any other reason—just name it!
posh.comSmart AI Call Screening & Routing section
- Urgent calls escalated
Partly
Escalation rules are configurable in the app or portal and emergencies can be routed to live receptionists, but Posh does not publish how an on-call person is reached or how urgency is detected.
Their words
Adjust routing, FAQs, or escalation rules any time through the Posh app or portal.
posh.comFAQ, "Can I change how my AI receptionist handles calls at any time?"
- Human receptionists as backup
Yes
Real people sit behind the AI by design: Posh sells the AI alongside its own US-based live receptionist team, and calls the AI cannot handle go to them instantly.
Their words
Posh now offers an AI answering service that works alongside our live receptionists, not in place of them. AI handles overflow calls, after-hours inquiries, and routine questions
posh.comFAQs, "Will I get a real person answering my calls if I use Posh AI?"
- Asks your questions
Yes
Posh runs your own intake procedures for lead capture and the AI screens callers against criteria you set, so the questions asked of a new caller are yours rather than a fixed script.
Their words
Need your callers screened? Your AI receptionist can quickly qualify them using your own criteria—turning calls into revenue.
posh.comPosh AI Features & Capabilities, AI-Assisted Lead Qualification
- Answers about your business
Partly
The AI answers caller questions about your services and pricing from information about your business, but Posh does not say whether that knowledge is ingested from your website or only from what you supply at setup.
Their words
Your AI receptionist uses knowledge about your business and services to answer any caller's question in seconds.
posh.comPosh AI Features & Capabilities, Quick AI Lookup for Responses to FAQs
- Texts your callers
Partly
Posh can text or email the caller straight after a call to confirm appointments or collect details; holding a two-way text conversation is a feature you operate yourself in the Posh app, not something the AI is documented to do.
Their words
We can send texts or emails to callers immediately after each call to confirm appointments, collect information, and more.

What you get after the call
2 answers
- Call summary by text
Yes
Messages land in the Posh app with notifications by default, and the vendor will deliver them by email or SMS text instead if that suits you better, so an SMS summary is available rather than app-only.
Their words
All messages are available in the Posh app along with your preferred notification settings. However, that is not a limitation for message delivery. We can also deliver messages via email or SMS text
posh.comFAQs, "How does message delivery work?"
- Recordings and transcripts
Partly
You get full transcription of AI conversations reviewable in the Posh app, but Posh states it deliberately does not record calls and tells customers to use a third party if audio playback is required.
Their words
It is our goal to present ourselves as if we are located directly in your office and therefore we do not record calls.
posh.comFAQ, "Does Posh record calls?"

posh.comPlatform tiles, Zapier entry

Trying it, starting and leaving
5 answers
- Free trial or free plan
Partly
You can run Posh on your real line before paying, but only as a one-week trial capped at 250 receptionist minutes — there is no standing free plan once that window closes.
Their words
The free trial period is good for seven days or 250 receptionist minutes, whichever comes first.
posh.comFAQs, "How long is the free trial?"
- Card required to start
No
No payment card is asked for to start the trial, and Posh states there is no commitment attached to it, so a buyer can test the service without entering billing details.
Their words
It really is free - no credit card required, no commitments, no strings attached.
posh.comGet Your Free Trial Started section
- Sign up without a sales call
Partly
Signing up starts from a web form rather than a sales call, but Posh builds the account for you and quotes 24-48 hours before it answers calls, so there is no instant self-serve activation.
Their words
We are generally able to get accounts setup in 24-48 hours. An unusually complex account may take some additional time to launch.
posh.comFAQs, "How long does account setup take?"
- Setup fee
No
Posh states flatly that there are no other fees beyond the plan, with every feature included at no extra cost, so no one-time setup or onboarding charge is published.
Their words
Nope. We believe that the cost of a virtual receptionist service should be straightforward and transparent. All our plans include all features at no additional cost.
posh.comFAQs, "Are there any other fees?"
- Contract and cancelling
Yes
Billing is month to month with no long-term contract, on a true monthly cycle, and cancelling is described as simply telling Posh — though the page does not promise a self-serve cancel button.
Their words
That's why we don't lock our clients into long-term contracts. We operate on month-to-month agreements. If you ever wish to discontinue your Posh Virtual Receptionist service, just let us know.
posh.comFAQs, "Is there a minimum required contract?"
Which languages it speaks, and how it sounds
2 answers
- Languages
Partly
English and Spanish are guaranteed at no extra charge on weekdays 9am-6pm Eastern and best-effort outside them, but that promise is about the live receptionists; Posh publishes no language list for the AI receptionist.
Their words
We guarantee English and Spanish call answering at no additional charge Monday through Friday between 9am and 6pm Eastern.
posh.comFAQ, "Do you offer bilingual service?"
- Hear it before you buy

Who it is built for
2 answers
- Industries it is set up for

Their words

posh.comFAQ, "Is Posh AI available for my industry?"
- HIPAA, with a signed BAA
Partly
Posh claims HIPAA compliance across its service and lists it as included in all plans, but no page states that it signs a Business Associate Agreement or on which plan, so the BAA itself is unconfirmed.
Their words
Absolutely! We take great care to protect patient data and keep healthcare providers compliant with privacy regulations. Everything about our service was designed with HIPAA in mind.
