Common Pain Points

Why People Switch from Smith.ai

01

Per-Call Pricing Gets Expensive Fast

Smith.ai charges per call — $4.25-$6/call on lower tiers. At 200 calls/month, that's $850-$1,200/mo just for call answering. BrickByClick's AI receptionist handles unlimited calls with no per-call fees — plus you get an entire marketing and CRM platform.

02

Just a Phone Agent, Not a Business System

Smith.ai answers your phone. That's valuable — but it's one piece of a much larger puzzle. You still need a website, SEO, CRM, review management, and follow-up automation. Those cost $1,500+/mo from other vendors. BrickByClick bundles everything into one platform.

03

Basic Scripts, Not True Business Intelligence

Smith.ai uses FAQ-style scripts to handle calls. It can't dynamically reference your pricing, check real-time calendar availability, or understand the nuance of your services. BrickByClick's AI answers from the hours, services, prices and FAQs you set, and books visits straight into your calendar.

04

No Marketing, No Lead Generation

Smith.ai helps you handle incoming leads. It does nothing to generate them. No website, no SEO, no Google rankings, no AI search optimization. BrickByClick generates the leads through marketing AND handles them through AI — the full funnel.

Common Questions

Switching from Smith.ai

How does BrickByClick's AI compare to Smith.ai's?
BrickByClick's AI answers from your real hours, services, prices and FAQs on every call. Smith.ai uses basic FAQ scripts. The result: our AI gives more accurate, nuanced answers about your services, pricing, and availability. Plus it's included in a full marketing platform, not sold as a standalone service.
Does BrickByClick have a human fallback like Smith.ai?
Every call lands in your inbox with a summary, and new leads trigger an email alert, so you can call back anyone who needs a person. The AI handles the rest — booking appointments, capturing leads, answering questions. You're not paying for human backup on every call.
Can BrickByClick integrate with my existing tools?
Appointments book straight into the BrickByClick CRM calendar, and customers can pick a time on your online booking page. Our CRM replaces most other tools you're using: contacts, pipeline, estimates, invoices and payments.
What if I want to keep Smith.ai for calls and use BrickByClick for marketing?
You can, but it's redundant. BrickByClick's AI receptionist is included in the Automation and Total Growth plans. You'd be paying twice for call handling while missing the data integration benefits of having everything in one system.
