Frequently asked

Is Autocloz a Smith.ai alternative?

For miss-recovery on a budget, yes. Autocloz texts every missed caller back within seconds with your booking link and writes them into a free CRM. It does not staff live AI-and-human answering the way Smith.ai does — Autocloz's own live AI voice answer is on the roadmap, not shipped.

Can Autocloz answer and qualify calls live like Smith.ai?

Not yet. Smith.ai answers live with AI and human agents; Autocloz's live-voice answer is roadmap. What is live today is the instant missed-call text-back and automatic CRM lead capture, with a booking link the caller self-schedules from.

Is there a per-conversation fee?

No. Autocloz's missed-call text-back and lead capture sit inside a free-forever CRM with unlimited users and no per-conversation charge; paid plans only lift per-channel daily limits.
