You do the work.
Bellows runs the rest.
How much does Bellows cost?
Bellows runs your front office for a flat monthly fee in CAD — Lite at $197 CAD, Growth at $897 CAD, and Managed at $1,797 CAD a month. Lite is free to start; Growth and Managed begin with a one-time $1,000 setup — half of it put straight into your first month of ads. No per-call fees.
Salary, benefits, payroll tax, PTO, and turnover — and they still clock out at 5pm.
Every call, every hour, every day — set up and run for you, never off the clock.
Receptionist figure reflects a fully-loaded part-time to full-time front-desk hire (≈$43–64K/yr USD), in line with U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data plus benefits and overhead — and one hire still doesn’t cover after-hours or overflow. Bellows pricing above is CAD; the hire figures are USD and not currency-converted.

Running a $1M+ shop?
We finance the build and run it as your front office — measured in booked revenue, not a flat monthly fee. It’s scoped to your operation on a call, not sold off a price list.
Bellows vs a typical AI receptionist app.
| What you get | Bellows | Typical AI app |

| A real team behind it, not just software | Yes | No |
| Books the job, not just answers the phone | Yes | No |
| Measured in booked revenue | Yes | No |
| No per-call fees | Yes | No |

What owners ask about price.
How is this different from an AI receptionist app?
- An app hands you software to run yourself. Bellows sets it up for you and keeps it running — on Growth we coach you hands-on through your first month and the automation runs on from there; on Managed a dedicated operator runs the whole account for you. Either way it doesn’t just answer the phone: it books the job, follows up for days, and keeps your pipeline full, with a real team behind it.
Why is it more than the $99 receptionist apps?
- Because you’re not buying an app to run yourself — you’re getting a front office that’s run for you. A part-time front-desk hire costs $3,600–5,300 a month and clocks out at 5pm. Bellows starts at $197 a month and never does.
What’s the $1,000 setup?
- A one-time setup for Growth and Managed that maps where your front office is leaking — missed calls, slow replies, un-followed-up leads — and configures Bellows around how your business actually works. Half of it ($500) goes straight into your first month of ads, so day one is already pulling in leads. Lite skips it: it’s self-serve and free to start. It’s a paid setup, not a sales call dressed up as one.
What happens after Growth’s first month?
- The automation doesn’t stop — your ads and content keep running. What’s time-boxed is the hands-on coaching; after your first month you keep standard support, and you can step up to Managed anytime to have a dedicated operator run the account for you.
Is there a contract?
- No long lock-in. It’s a flat monthly fee you can pause or cancel. Going quiet for a season? So does Bellows.
Do you charge per call?
- No. The price is flat — no per-call charges, no per-minute metering, no setup work billed back to you. You always know exactly what you’ll pay.
What if I run a $1M+ shop?
- We also run a financed track for larger shops: we finance the build and operate it as your front office, measured in booked revenue rather than a flat monthly fee. It’s scoped on a call instead of off a price list — see the financed track above, or just tell us on the waitlist.
