Is an AI receptionist worth it for a business with only 10–20 calls a day?

Yes — that volume is exactly where owners miss the most calls. Missing 20% of 15 daily calls is roughly 60 leads a month. At about $250–$300/mo all-in for that volume on Shtello Connect ($199 plan plus $0.80/min usage), it pays for itself if it converts one or two of those into booked jobs or patients.

Run the math with your own numbers: daily calls × missed-call rate × close rate × average job value. For most trades and clinics the break-even is one recovered job.
