How we compare

Everything you get. Nothing hidden.

The overseas apps sound American. The Australian services cost a fortune and still skip the everyday features. HeyVox gives you the lot - an AI receptionist that books real jobs, verifies addresses, answers FAQs word for word on dedicated infoline numbers, logs every question callers ask, and never lets a hang-up vanish - plus the best voicemail inbox you've ever had.

Fair questions

How it works and how to set it up15
Can I really try it before I pay?

Yes, and we think you should. Call our live demo receptionist on (07) 3543 4090 right now, no signup, no card. Download the app and you can test the real receptionist, the AI intake, transcripts and inbox on the free demo before you activate any plan. Try each tier and make sure it fits your business first. Almost nobody else lets you do that.

What exactly does the AI receptionist do?

It answers your calls in a natural Australian voice, greets the caller, and has a real conversation, asking the questions you set (name, job, urgency, callback number) and understanding the answers. You get a clean, structured summary of every call: who rang, what they need, and how urgent it is, ready to action from your inbox.

Does it sound Australian, or like an overseas robot?

Australian. HeyVox uses natural local voices, so callers hear an Aussie accent, not an American one. That is a big part of why callers stay on the line instead of hanging up, and it is where most of the cheaper overseas apps fall down.

How are you different from the other AI receptionists?

Two ways. First, price: most Australian AI receptionists start around $200 to $500 a month, often with a $400 to $800 setup fee. HeyVox starts at $24.99 with no setup fee. Second, HeyVox is also a full visual voicemail app, spam blocking, dual-SIM, a real inbox on your phone and computer, which the call-only services do not give you. You get the receptionist and the best voicemail you have ever had, in one.

Will call forwarding cost me anything?

HeyVox gives you a dedicated HeyVox number and relies on your provider's standard call forwarding, the same mechanism your voicemail already uses. On most Australian plans, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone postpaid and most MVNOs like Boost, Belong, TPG and MATE, call forwarding is included free. A few budget prepaid providers (for example Amaysim, ALDI Mobile, Kogan, Coles Mobile) bill diverted minutes separately or need an add-on. It still works, it just isn't free on those plans, and the app will let you know if your carrier is one of them. See the full provider list on our features page.

Is there a per-minute meter or surprise bill?

No. Your plan includes a set number of AI receptionist calls each month (150 on Receptionist, 500 on Plus, 1,500 on Power) at one flat price. There is no per-minute meter ticking away while your customer talks, and calls under 15 seconds do not count. If you are consistently near your limit, we will prompt you to move up a tier, not spring an overage bill on you.

Can it handle a few calls at once?

Yes. Unlike services that cap you at one or two simultaneous calls, HeyVox handles multiple callers at the same time, so nobody gets a busy tone even at your busiest.

Does my phone still ring normally?

Yes, always. Your phone rings first, every time. HeyVox only steps in when you can’t answer, you’re already on a call, or your phone is off or out of range.

How hard is setup, honestly?

One tap. HeyVox opens your dialer with the right forwarding code already filled in, you press the green call button and you’re live. Then tap Verify and HeyVox rings you to prove it works. About two minutes, all up.

Can I manage everything from my computer?

Yes, every plan includes the web portal at heyvoxapp.com/app. Sign in with the same Google account and you get the full inbox on the big screen: search, filters, tags, statuses, notes and one-click spreadsheet export. You can also auto-send every call to Google Sheets, Slack, your CRM or 6,000+ apps via Zapier, no code needed.

What about my second SIM?

Work and personal SIMs share one clean inbox, each with its own greeting or receptionist. Adding a second number is $4.99/mo on top of your plan (or it is included on Power).

Can my office manager or team see the messages too?

On Starter Pro and the Receptionist plans, yes, invite them by email and they get the same inbox on their own phone and the web portal. They can listen, reply and mark jobs done, and you control exactly what they’re allowed to change. One seat is included; extra seats are $5.99/mo each.

Can I go back to my old voicemail?

Any time, in one tap. Settings has a Turn Off button that switches HeyVox off and restores your carrier’s standard voicemail. Your existing messages stay in the app.

How long do you keep my calls, and is my data safe?

Audio is kept for 30 days. Your written log, transcripts, tags, notes and statuses is kept up to 12 months, and you can export any of it to a spreadsheet. Everything is encrypted in transit, stored with strict access controls, and used only to run your service, never sold, never used for ads. Full detail is in our privacy policy.

When is iPhone coming?

HeyVox is on Android now. The iOS version is in development, same inbox, same receptionist. Coming soon.

Bookings, appointments and getting to them15
Can the AI receptionist book appointments?

Yes. You set the windows you're available, and the receptionist offers real times from that availability, books the job, captures the address, and texts the customer a confirmation. The booking appears in your app, the web portal and your calendar.

Can it book different types of jobs with different lengths?

Yes. Each booking window has a type - quote, install, repair, checkup and so on - and its own length, so a 30-minute quote and a three-hour install are offered from different windows.

Can customers book an arrival window instead of an exact time?

Yes. A window can be sold as an arrival window - 'Tuesday morning, some time between 8 and 12' - rather than a fixed start time, which is how most trades actually work. You set how many jobs fit in each window, and the receptionist tells the caller plainly that the time is approximate.

Can I stop customers booking at the last minute?

Yes. Set a minimum notice - two hours, a day, a week - and the receptionist won't offer anything sooner. Instead of refusing, it offers the soonest time it can actually do.

Can I limit how many jobs I take in a day?

Yes. A daily cap applies across the whole day wherever the jobs fall, so a wide-open week can't be filled solid by Monday lunchtime.

Can I add travel time between jobs?

Yes. A travel buffer keeps a gap either side of every booking, so two jobs on opposite sides of town can't be booked back to back.

Can I block out holidays and leave?

Yes. Closed periods take whole date ranges out of the diary, and callers are told you're closed for that period rather than just hearing that nothing's available.

Can customers reschedule or cancel by phone?

Yes. The receptionist can move or cancel an existing booking on the call, and the customer is texted automatically - as are you.

Does the customer get a text when a booking changes?

Yes. There are separate messages for booking confirmation, a day-before reminder, a time change, a cancellation and a review request. Each one can be switched on or off and reworded in your own voice.

Can I only take bookings in certain areas on certain days?

Yes. Service areas let you say which suburbs and postcodes you cover, and tie a day's availability to an area - north side Tuesdays, south side Wednesdays. Callers are only offered days you'll be near them.

How do I set up a service area?

Draw it on a map or set a radius around your suburb, and HeyVox works out which postcodes it covers. You can add or remove individual suburbs afterwards, and an area can also mean 'everywhere except here' if that's how you work.

Can it plan the best order to do my jobs?

Yes. Plan the day takes a day's bookings and orders them for the least driving from your start address, using Google's real driving routes and the traffic for that day and time. It shows the run on a map and as a timeline of job, travel, job, and proposes a time for each stop.

Can I change the order it works out?

Yes. Drag any job to reorder it and the times recalculate, lock a job that can't move, add a break or a lunch anywhere in the day, and set how you want times rounded.

Does it move my customers' appointments automatically?

Only when you say so. You see exactly which jobs move and from what time to what time before anything changes, and how many customers that texts. Nothing is applied until you confirm.

Does it know about traffic?

Yes. The route is worked out using Google's driving directions with predicted traffic for the day and time you're setting off, not straight-line distance - so it accounts for rivers, bridges and peak hour.

Missed calls, messages and your inbox6
What happens to calls I miss?

Every missed call and voicemail lands in one inbox with a transcript, an AI summary, the caller's number, and a suggested reply you can send as a text in one tap.

Does it transcribe voicemail to text?

Yes. Every message is transcribed and summarised, so you can read a voicemail in three seconds instead of listening to ninety.

Can it text people back automatically when I miss a call?

Yes. A missed-call reply can be sent automatically, worded however you like, so the caller knows you've seen it before you've had a chance to ring back.

Can it answer questions about my business?

Yes. You fill in your business details - hours, callout fee, service area, payment methods, what you do and don't take on - and the receptionist answers those questions in conversation rather than reading a script.

Can I organise calls by type?

Yes. Calls are tagged automatically by what the caller wanted - bookings, FAQ, new enquiries, emergencies - and you can rename, recolour and add your own tags, set a status like In progress or Done, add notes and set follow-up reminders.

Does it filter spam calls?

Yes. Suspected spam is identified and can be kept out of your main inbox, so scam and telemarketing calls don't sit alongside real customers.

Using it on your own phone, not for work8
Can I use HeyVox just for my own phone, not a business?

Yes. The Starter plan is for anyone tired of their phone's built-in voicemail. You get every message transcribed and summarised, spam kept out of the way, and messages by email, with no business setup and no receptionist involved.

Is this a voicemail to text app?

Yes. Every message you get is transcribed automatically and summarised in a line, so you can read a voicemail in a few seconds instead of listening to the whole thing, and search old ones by what was said.

Is it better than the voicemail my carrier gives me?

Carrier voicemail makes you ring in, listen in order, and remember what was said. HeyVox shows every message as a card you can read, search, reply to by text, flag, and keep notes on. Nothing is dialled into.

Will it stop spam and scam calls filling my messages?

Suspected spam is identified and kept out of your main inbox, so scam and telemarketing messages do not sit alongside the ones that matter.

Can I see who rang when I could not answer?

Yes. Missed calls appear alongside voicemails with the caller's number and their name from your contacts, so you can see who tried you even when they left nothing.

Can I text someone back without ringing them?

Yes. Each message has a suggested reply you can send as a text in one tap, and you can edit it first. Useful when you cannot talk but do not want to leave someone waiting.

Do I need to change my number or my phone plan?

No. You keep your number and your phone rings exactly as it does now. HeyVox only picks up the calls you do not.

What does the personal plan cost?

Starter is $6.99 a month including GST, with unlimited transcription and summaries. There is no contract and you can cancel anytime.

Which businesses it suits3
Is HeyVox only for tradies?

No. It suits any business that loses money to unanswered calls - plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners, landscapers and mobile mechanics, but equally salons, barbers, clinics, dentists, physios, vets, tutors, photographers, driving instructors, mobile beauticians, removalists, locksmiths, cafes taking orders, and small offices.

Is it good for a business with no receptionist?

That's exactly who it's built for. A sole trader or a small team can't answer while working, driving or with a customer, and HeyVox answers those calls instead of sending them to voicemail.

Can it work for a clinic or salon with appointments?

Yes. Appointment types, lengths, minimum notice and daily limits are all configurable, so a 20-minute consult and a two-hour treatment can both be booked correctly.

What it costs and what you need5
How much does an AI receptionist cost in Australia?

HeyVox starts at $6.99 a month for visual voicemail, with AI receptionist plans from $24.99 a month. A human answering service typically charges per call or per minute, which is many times more for the same volume.

Is an AI receptionist better than voicemail?

Most callers hang up on voicemail rather than leave a message, so a missed call is usually a lost job. An AI receptionist answers, has a conversation, and can book the work while the caller is still on the line - so the call turns into a booking instead of a message you return the next day.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number and your phone rings exactly as it does now. HeyVox only picks up when you don't.

Does it work with any Australian carrier?

It works with any carrier that supports conditional call forwarding, which is all the major Australian networks.

Does it connect to my calendar?

Yes. Bookings sync to your calendar so your diary stays in one place.
