About 10 minutes. Download the app, walk through the setup, and your AI Receptionist goes live. From the very first call, it captures lead details, writes a summary with next steps, and syncs everything to your CRM. No lag, no manual entry.

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial - full access, no limits. After that, the Starter plan is $29.99/month. The Business plan is $49.99/month and covers up to 3 lines, with additional lines at $29.99 each.

Beside integrates directly with major CRMs and connects to 7,000+ platforms. Every call automatically creates a new contact, logs the summary and recording, and pushes extracted details into your system — no manual entry required.

Beside pulls information from your website to train your AI Receptionist automatically. From there, toggle it on, adjust your preferences, and you're live.

No. You can either port your existing number to Beside or forward calls from your current carrier. Your callers keep dialing the same number - nothing changes on their end.

Your AI Receptionist picks up 24/7 by default - evenings, weekends, holidays, and during your busiest hours. You can also set business hours so calls ring your team during the day and route to the AI Receptionist outside of those windows.

You can place outbound calls from the Beside app. The AI Receptionist currently handles inbound calls only.

It works alongside them. The AI handles calls based on the scenarios you define, collects the right details, and logs everything. Anything that needs a human gets handed off so your team stays focused on higher-value work.

English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese - for both calls and texts.

Beside is SOC 2 Type II certified. All data is encrypted in transit and stored on AWS servers in the U.S. Your recordings, transcripts, and summaries stay private unless you choose to share them. We never sell your data to third parties.
