Retell AI (12 of 12) and Lindy (12 of 12) follow. 10 vendors on this list share the top score of 12 of 12; their order follows the published tie-breaks (published pricing, then more named integrations, then a security statement, then name), not a judgment. Every point is answered from the vendor's own published pages, quoted under each entry with a source link and the date we read it.

Per-minute phone cost is in credits (25 credits a minute at $0.01 a credit) and was not multiplied into a dollar rate. Live call transfer wording was not found; escalation and message-taking were.

Rosie's pricing page lists Professional at $49 a month for 250 minutes, Scale at $149 a month for 1,000 minutes and Growth at $299 a month for 2,000 minutes, with annual billing giving two months free, as published on Nov 5, 2026.

From heyrosie.com, as published on Nov 5, 2026

Rosie's scheduling help article says "When a caller wants to schedule, Rosie will find an available time, confirm it with the caller, and create the event automatically in your calendar."

From heyrosie.com, as published on Nov 5, 2026

Rosie's pricing page lists warm transfers where "Rosie briefs your team before connecting", live call transfers, and waterfall transfers that try multiple numbers until someone answers.

From heyrosie.com, as published on Nov 5, 2026

Scoring note: Security is unknown: the only HIPAA mention is a terms clause making the customer responsible for a BAA. Named integrations come from the help center; the marketing pages name only Zapier and Google Business profile. Outbound calling is not stated. Pricing FAQ answers are collapsed and absent from the served HTML, so the overage rate is not recorded.

Fin's pricing page says "Fin Voice is offered on a custom pricing plan. It's currently available to select customers working directly with our sales team."

From fin.ai, as published on Nov 5, 2026

Fin's voice page lists booking an appointment among the actions Fin Voice takes, alongside verifying an identity and processing a refund.

From fin.ai, as published on Nov 5, 2026

Fin's voice page says "Using your knowledge base, Fin Voice provides accurate, contextual answers 24/7 and seamlessly passes calls to a human agent when needed."

From fin.ai, as published on Nov 5, 2026

Scoring note: Pricing is 'quote' for Fin Voice specifically, which the vendor sells only through sales; the $0.99 per outcome and $19 per seat figures cover chat and email Fin and are kept as facts. Outbound: the voice page shows an Outbound label and follow-up SMS but no sentence stating Fin places calls. The 14-day trial is not stated to include Fin Voice. intercom.com/fin redirects to fin.ai.

From simplephones.ai, as published on Nov 5, 2026

Scoring note: Coverage: the homepage and help articles do not say 24/7 or around the clock. Security: no framework named on the homepage or help center; the privacy and terms pages render only inside the browser app and could not be read. Only one price tier is published.

Questions businesses ask

Which AI voice agents offer a free trial or a free tier?

How is this list ranked?

Each vendor is scored 0 to 12 on eleven criteria answered from its own published pages: published pricing (1), a stated free trial or free tier (1), answering inbound calls (1), placing outbound calls (1), booking appointments (1), named integrations (1 to 4 named scores 1, 5 or more scores 2), handoff to a person (1), more than English (1), 24/7 coverage (1), a stated security framework such as SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR or ISO 27001 (1) and voice plus SMS, chat or email (1). Ties are broken by published pricing, then the number of named integrations, then a security statement, then vendor name.
