It's not just an answering machine. It helped a student find the right info, texted a course link, and they booked immediately. Bookings roll in while we are off duty—you have to keep up with the times.

FAQ
Questions before you stop missing calls
Everything you need to know before your AI receptionist answers the first customer.
What is Skaala?
Skaala is an AI receptionist for small businesses that depend on phone calls. AIRA's missed-call data shows 62% of small-business calls go unanswered, 85% of those callers never try again, and roughly 80% hang up without leaving a voicemail. Skaala answers every call, books appointments, routes calls by your rules, sends SMS confirmations, and updates your CRM automatically.
How much do missed calls actually cost a small business?
Dialzara estimates missed calls cost small businesses around $126,000 a year, depending on industry and customer value. That isn't just lost calls — it's lost customers, lost bookings, and wasted marketing spend driving callers who hang up before anyone answers.
Does Skaala speak my customers' language?
Yes — Skaala answers in 70+ languages, around the clock. A hair salon in London can take bookings in Arabic, a law firm in New York can handle Swedish-speaking clients after hours, and a dental clinic in Manchester never misses an emergency call because of a language barrier.
Do I need separate systems for phones, bookings, and CRM?
No. Skaala combines an intelligent business phone system, appointment scheduling, CRM, call routing, and customer management in a single service. You don't need separate tools for telephony, bookings, and customer records — Skaala is your entire front-desk operation.
Which industries does Skaala work best for?
Phone-heavy small businesses where every missed call is a missed customer: hair salons, dental and medical clinics, restaurants, hotels, law firms, and local services. We have industry-specific workflows pre-built for the most common cases — see our industries hub for the full list.
What if I already have a phone number?
Keep it! Just forward calls to Skaala when you can't answer. Or use our number as your new line.
Does the AI understand my industry?
Yes. Skaala reads your website and learns your services, prices, and hours. You can fine-tune everything in the chat.
Can I listen to the calls?
Absolutely. Every call is recorded, transcribed, and summarized. You see everything in your dashboard.
What does it cost after the trial?
Start from $29/mo (50 min), Pro from $69/mo (150 min), and Business from $149/mo (400 min). All plans include a 7-day free trial.
Is there a lock-in period?
No. Cancel anytime, no lock-in, no hidden fees.
