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. My AI Front Desk runs on ≈$65/mo direct (200 min); $54.99 wholesale white-label for resellers.
"Built direct, not through a middleman — with payments on the call and a compliance roadmap."

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 My AI Front Desk 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.
It means the brand selling you the receptionist may be an agency marking up a $54.99 wholesale product — support and roadmap are out of their hands. Della Desk is sold and supported by the people who build it.
A HIPAA-ready tier (BAA, encryption, access logging) is on our public roadmap; today we're transparent that we're not yet certified — unlike vendors who simply don't mention compliance at all. If you're in a covered entity, talk to us before onboarding.
Not yet; it's on the roadmap. Della Desk's depth is the phone: orders, payments, dispatch, 20 languages, voice cloning — the call is where your money is.
At 200 minutes it's a straight tie: their ≈$65 direct price against our $35 plan dialed to 200 minutes — also $65. Under that, Della's $35 wins outright. At the same price you get the builder answering your support chat, a compliance roadmap, and no card required to find out if she fits.
