Della Desk isn't an answering service — it's a whole front office: she answers, books, texts back, takes the order and payment on the call, and sends signed proposals, from $35 a month, 7 days free, no credit card. Dialzara runs on flat + minute caps: $29/60min · $99/220min · $199/500min · $349/1,000min.

Assumes a ~3-minute average call. Run your own numbers in the cost calculator. Della prices are assembled in advance: every plan includes 100 minutes, and extra minutes are always a flat 30¢ — dialed ahead, never auto-billed. At your limit, your own setting pauses the line or steps you up — and a one-time $50 top-up adds 100 minutes anytime.

Most owners searching for a Dialzara alternative want three things: every call answered, no per-minute anxiety, and a price that stays flat as they grow. That's the job Della was built for — a virtual receptionist who answers 24/7, books appointments, texts back missed calls, takes orders and payments, and sends proposals clients sign right from their phone, from $35 a month with every price public. The tables above are the honest comparison; the cost calculator runs your own numbers.
By six dollars, yes — for 60 minutes. A real service business burns 60 minutes in days — then you're buying overage at $0.48/min or upgrading. Della's $35 covers 100 spam-free minutes with in-call booking included, and extra minutes are always a flat 30¢, dialed in advance — you only pay for what you actually use.
Both remember repeat callers (we say so honestly — few others do it at all). Della layers on what memory is FOR: greeting regulars by name, referencing their last visit, and feeding your weekly revenue report.
Dialzara offers native two-way sync today; Della Desk ships a live subscribed calendar feed on every phone plus tap-to-add invites, with OAuth busy-check on the roadmap. If two-way sync is your one deciding feature, they're ahead this quarter — we print that instead of hiding it.
Both train from your website. Della adds 27 trade-specific setups, a document reader (price sheets, menus), and plain-English house rules — ten minutes to a receptionist that sounds like your business.
