What it actually costs
over a year, both ways.
Setup fee + 12 months of monthly cost. No hidden line items, no upsells assumed.
Titan — Always Open (full done-for-you bundle)
Abby Connect — AI Receptionist Professional (200 min/mo)
Note: 107 calls a month at 2-3 minutes is 200-320 minutes, which sits at or just past Abby AI Professional: $299/mo for 200 minutes. We are $898/mo more expensive, plus $4,500 setup against a setup fee Abby does not publish. There is no price argument to make here and the page does not attempt one. Two caveats worth stating: 320 minutes exceeds the Professional cap, and because Abby does not publish a receptionist overage rate, the cost of exceeding it is unknown until you do. Always Open is uncapped at $1,197 and bundles the website, text-back, reviews and estimate follow-up.
When Abby Connect is
the better fit.
Buy Abby when you want answering handled well and cheaply, and especially if you are undecided between AI and a human — being able to try both from one vendor on a 14-day trial is worth something real. At 200-320 minutes their AI Professional is $299/mo against our $1,197, and even their human line at $329 undercuts us heavily. If your website is fine, your reviews are healthy and your follow-up is handled, we would be selling you things you already have. We are the right purchase when those pieces are NOT handled, when you want one vendor accountable for the whole funnel from search result to booked job, and when an uncapped flat rate matters more than the lowest monthly line item.
Where Abby Connect wins
- · Dramatically cheaper. AI Professional is $299/mo for 200 minutes against our $1,197 — and their AI Starter is $99.
- · You can buy human OR AI from the same vendor and switch between them as you learn what your callers actually tolerate. That optionality is genuinely useful and we do not offer it.
- · A free way to try the AI product (Abby has offered both a trial and a free entry tier), so the risk of finding out is close to zero.
- · Published tier pricing on both product lines, which most of this market will not do.
- · Bilingual support and an established human receptionist operation behind the AI, so escalation to a person is a real option.
Where we win
vs Abby Connect.
Flat and uncapped. Every Abby tier is capped by minutes and Abby does not publish what a minute past the cap costs, so your worst month has an unpriced ceiling.
Scope. The same $1,197 carries the website, missed-call text-back, two-way SMS, review automation and estimate follow-up; Abby sells answering.
Trade-specific triage written for plumbing and HVAC call patterns rather than a general-purpose script.
One vendor and one bill for the whole front of the funnel instead of stacking an answering product on top of a separate site and review tool.

Get My Audit Titan vs Abby Connect,
questions.
Is Abby Connect cheaper than Titan?
Substantially, yes. Their AI Receptionist runs $99/mo for 50 minutes up to $690/mo for 500, so a shop needing 200-320 minutes pays around $299 against our $1,197. We are not the cheaper option and this page will not argue that we are. The difference is what the money covers: Abby sells answering, Always Open covers answering plus the website, missed-call text-back, two-way SMS, review automation and estimate follow-up.
What does Abby charge if I go over my minutes?
Not published. Abby's pricing page lists per-unit overage only for its separate Live Web Chat product; third-party reviews report roughly $2.99 per additional receptionist minute, but Abby does not state it on the pricing page itself. If you are near a tier boundary that is worth asking them directly before signing, because a busy season is exactly when you find out.
Abby offers both AI and human receptionists — which should I pick?
That flexibility is a real advantage of theirs. Broadly: human handles the emotionally difficult or genuinely unusual call better; AI handles volume, simultaneity and 2am without a rota. Their free-to-try AI product is a cheap way to find out which your callers actually respond to before committing.
Why would I pay Titan almost four times as much?
Only if you need what the extra covers. If you already have a site that ranks, a review engine, missed-call recovery and estimate follow-up, you should buy Abby and keep the difference. If you are missing several of those and would otherwise buy them from three vendors, one flat uncapped price for the whole stack is the argument. It is a scope decision, not a price one.
