Dialzara starts cheap. Central starts complete.
Every feature included from day one. No upgrade required to get call transfers.
Never miss another call.
One plan does everything. One plan requires more.
Dialzara is a capable, easy-to-set-up AI receptionist with no contracts, no setup fees, and a 7-day free trial. The $29/month entry plan is one of the lowest in the category. It handles messages, customizable prompts, and basic call handling. Call transfers, a standard front desk function, require upgrading to the $99/month Growth plan.
Central starts at $79/month with every feature included: call transfers, human fallback, native calendar and CRM integrations, 30+ language support, and post-call summaries. One plan. No upgrade to reach the basics.

Don't take our word for it
"I started with Dialzara's $29 plan and quickly realized call transfers weren't included. Once I upgraded and factored in overages on busy days, I was spending more than I expected for something that still wasn't complete. Central was $79 with everything included from day one."
