A quick sense check: a store that takes 30 calls a day at two minutes each uses about 1,800 minutes a month. On the Elite plan, that's $349 plus 800 extra minutes at $0.35, or about $629 a month for that one store. Your numbers will differ, so run your own.

Where Dialzara is strong

Dialzara is cheap to start and simple to run. You can test it free for a week, use your existing number and change the agent's instructions yourself any time from the dashboard (Dialzara).

Its higher plans add useful pieces: warm transfers, bilingual English and Spanish, calendar sync, custom prompt work on Plus and Elite, and multi-location setup from Plus (Dialzara pricing).

When to pick which

One store, low call volume, someone who'll set it up: Dialzara.
You want a cheap first test of AI answering: Dialzara's trial is low risk.
Many locations with high call volume: compare Dialzara's per-minute cost with a fixed custom build.
Callers ask about the wait at a specific store: Trilix, because the agent reads live bay status.
You need Arabic and English: Trilix. See our Arabic AI voice agent.
