Head to head
PestOS vs. Smith.ai
Smith.ai charges you more for growing. We don't.
Smith.ai gates its own pricing behind a contact form; the figures below are from public third-party pricing trackers (July 2026). Product details are from smith.ai.
What Smith.ai is good at
Trust and humans. Twenty million calls of experience, a real human-hybrid option, and a known brand that attorneys and agencies already use. If a prospect wants humans in the loop, Smith.ai is the name they know.
Where PestOS wins
Per-call pricing is a success tax. Their AI receptionist starts around $95/mo for roughly 50 calls. The human plans run from $292.50 for 30 calls up to $2,025 for 300, with $9.75 per call after that. Get busy in termite season and your bill spikes with your best month. They have a pest-control page, but the AI still needs the same custom setup any industry gets, and custom AI training is a $2,000 one-time fee. Our price doesn't punish your busy season, and the pest knowledge is the product, not a $2,000 add-on.
The fine print, from their own site
- AI Receptionist from about $95/mo, billed per call (roughly 50 calls at the entry tier).
- Human hybrid plans: $292.50 (30 calls), $585 (75), $1,170 (175), $2,025 (300). Overage is $9.75 per call.
- Custom AI training is a $2,000 one-time fee on monthly plans. Live-agent handoff on the AI plan is $3 per call.
- Has a pest-control page with pest intake and PestPac/FieldRoutes integrations, but no out-of-the-box pest product: the AI needs the same custom configuration as any other industry.
