Good to know about PATLive
- Only live time on the call is billed, not after-call notes.
- Prices are plus taxes and fees; larger plans exist.
- All human: it says it doesn't use AI to answer calls.
What Nerro does differently
- Each AI employee practices on about 30 test calls, including tricky ones, before it answers a real caller.
- It only says something is booked once your calendar confirms it.
- There's no fee per transfer when it hands a call to your own team.
- Nerro doesn't text yet, and it has no human receptionists.
