Simple, Transparent Pricing
Scale up or down anytime. No long-term contracts.
You already have two options. Both of them are losing.
Option one
Pay $50,000–$60,000 a year, all-in, for a front desk receptionist. In Charlotte the base alone runs $38,000–$42,000 and once you add benefits, payroll taxes, training, and turnover, the real cost lands north of $50,000. For that, you get one person who works nine to five, takes lunch, calls in sick, takes PTO, eventually quits, and can only answer one call at a time. No nights. No weekends. No holidays.
Option two
Skip the receptionist because you can't justify the cost and lose the calls instead. Miss just 10 calls a month at a $500 average job, and once you account for the 85% of callers who never call back, you're losing roughly $25,000 a year in work that rang out while you were on a roof, under a truck, or asleep. Higher-ticket trades lose multiples of that.
The third option
Advisory Formulas. $5,964–$9,564 a year for an AI built specifically for your business that works 24/7/365, answers unlimited calls at once, never quits, and gets sharper every month. That's roughly 10–18% the cost of one human who works a third of the hours.
And compared to the Big 3 and Big 4 charging $50K–$1.2M for strategy decks that collect dust. We're not even playing the same game.

When an app brags about 2,500 clients, ask what all 2,500 are sharing.
The answer is: the same template. The same codebase. The same support queue. The same single point of failure. When one of those breaks, all 2,500 break at once and their roadmap is built for the average of 2,500 generic users, never for your specific business.
Advisory Formulas builds every client their own isolated system, in their own account, trained only on their business. No two clients share a template, a script, or an outage. That's not a limit on how many businesses we can serve -- it's the opposite. We can build for any number of trades without a single one ever sharing infrastructure with another. You're never one of thousands running off the same box. You're the only one running yours.
Scale shouldn't mean sameness. Every build we ship is custom, isolated, and yours alone. No matter how many we ship.

Is This Right For You?
Advisory Formulas isn't for every business. If you're happy with voicemail, have a full-time receptionist who never misses a call, or aren't ready to respond to booked leads within the hour — this probably isn't for you.
But if you're a Charlotte trades or service business losing jobs to unanswered calls, we built this specifically for you.
Not a fit if:
- You're happy with voicemail
- You have a full-time receptionist
- You can't respond to leads within the hour
- You're not ready to grow
Built for you if:
- You miss calls while on the job
- You lose work to competitors who answer
- You want your calendar filling itself
- You're ready to stop leaving money on the table
This isn't a sales call. It's the most valuable hour you'll spend on your phone problem.
Every other AI receptionist wants you in a funnel to "start your free trial," "book a demo," "contact sales" where the value only shows up after you've paid.
The Build Session is the opposite. In one session, we map your actual call flow, find exactly where your business is leaking calls, and hand you a clear plan to fix it. You leave with that plan whether you build with us or not.
We're confident enough in the build to give you the strategy first. Most owners who sit through a Build Session have never had anyone show them where the money was actually falling out of their phone.

How We Compare to Other AI Receptionists
Compared to the Big 3 (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) and Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, EY) charging $50K–$1.2M for strategy decks that collect dust, we're playing a different game entirely. But if you're shopping AI receptionists, here's how we stack up against what's showing up on page one right now. Real prices, including the caps and fees they bury in the fine print.
| Provider | Real Price | Built For Your Business | You Own It | Local & Accountable | The Build Session |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aira | $24.95/mo — but only 30 calls (then up to $159.95) | ❌ Generic template | ❌ Rented — cancel and it's gone | ❌ Faceless SaaS | ❌ None |
| AutomateNexus Voice | $197/mo (+$297/mo for call optimization) | ❌ Generic template | ❌ Rented — cancel and it's gone | ❌ Out of state (Seattle) | ❌ None |
| Voksha | $49/mo — but only 10 minutes (then $1/min) | ❌ Generic template | ❌ Rented — cancel and it's gone | ❌ Faceless SaaS | ❌ None |
| AgentZap | $109/mo + $399 setup fee, 150-min cap | ⚠️ Industry templates | ❌ Rented — cancel and it's gone | ❌ Out of state | ❌ None |
| RingCentral | $20–$45/user/mo + $39 AI add-on (100-min cap) | ❌ Enterprise generic | ❌ Rented — cancel and it's gone | ❌ Corporate | ❌ None |
| Klugify | Custom quote (no public pricing) | ⚠️ Custom, but split focus (also does IT/DevOps) | ✅ Ownership transfer | ✅ Charlotte-based | ❌ None |
| Advisory Formulas | $497–$797/mo — all-inclusive, no caps, no setup fee | ✅ Custom-built per business | ✅ Yours, in your own account | ✅ Charlotte (BNI Ballantyne @ 9) | ✅ Included |
The bottom of this market sells a cheap headline price, then meters you on calls and minutes until the real bill arrives. The top is a generic enterprise platform built for call centers, not trades. Advisory Formulas is the missing middle: one transparent price, no caps, custom-built and owned in your account, by a local owner who answers the phone.
