About Front Desk ROI

Front Desk ROI exists because of a gap we found while researching this market: the biggest providers of AI receptionists and answering services publish plenty of articles describing calculations — what a missed call might cost, what their service might save — but almost none of them will give you a neutral calculator that uses your numbers and compares their competitors honestly. So we built one, for free.

Everything here follows three rules. Your numbers, not ours: every calculator runs on inputs you supply, with presets you can see and change. Sources or silence: every statistic is traced to a named, dated source on our methodology page, and the internet's favourite fake statistics are debunked, not repeated. Cheapest means cheapest: comparison tools highlight the lowest price produced by the formula, regardless of who pays us what.

The site is aimed at the owners and managers of local businesses — plumbers, HVAC firms, electricians, roofers, dentists, law firms, gyms, salons and the rest of the phone-driven economy — and at the agencies who serve them. Start with the missed-call calculator, or read the verified statistics behind it.
