For AI, Sayora is trained on your business and sends you each lead as the call ends, for one flat £49 a month with no contract.

Train your receptionist

£49/mo. No contract. Keep your existing number.

Why people switch

Why businesses look past alldayPA.

alldayPA does what it does well. These are the reasons people still come looking for something else.

  • You want pricing you can see. alldayPA quotes its packages per business and bills per call or per minute, so the real cost isn't obvious upfront.
  • You'd rather not be tied in. alldayPA's terms and conditions ask for 90 days' notice from your next billing date to change tariff or cancel.
  • You want to know what a long call costs. alldayPA's terms round per-minute calls up to the next whole minute, unless you've agreed a per-second tariff.
  • You want a flat monthly fee that doesn't climb with your call volume.
  • You want an answering service trained on your prices and services, not a call centre working across many clients.

alldayPA's packages are on a quote, so a real bill needs one. Its Google ad on 2 November 2026 said “From £90/month” and “No Contracts”; the notice period and call rounding are from its terms and conditions, and the pay-as-you-go rates from myalldayPA's own site, all checked the same day. Sayora's £49/mo is its published price.

An honest take

Different tools, different jobs.

We'd rather you pick the right fit than the wrong one. Here's the honest split. And if the category is new to you, start with what an AI receptionist actually does.

alldayPA is the better choice if…

  • You specifically want human receptionists, with a real UK call-centre team handling your calls.
  • You want an established provider (since 1999) with an omnichannel service ladder and vertical options like legal.
  • You're comfortable with a quote and 90 days' notice in exchange for a fully human service.
  • You only get a few calls. Its pay-as-you-go brand, myalldayPA, is 99p a call on prepaid credits. A transferred call takes 1.5 credits, and unused credits are non-refundable.

Sayora is the better fit if…

  • You want one flat, published £49/mo with unlimited minutes, not a quote and a per-call meter.
  • You want to stay month-to-month, with no minimum term and no notice period.
  • You want an AI trained on your business that captures every detail, sends the lead by text or email immediately, and tells new callers it's AI.
Other options

More alldayPA alternatives, and who each suits.

Sayora isn't the only option. If you'd rather keep people on your calls, or you want AI on different terms, here are the others worth a look, each with the job it does best. Prices are from each provider's own site, checked 2 November 2026.

  • The Answer Centre

    Human

    99p a call however long it takes, with no monthly subscription or setup fee and a two-week free trial. Calls are answered in your company name, then put through to you or sent as a message by email or text. Its price page includes an out-of-hours voicemail and doesn't mention VAT, so ask about both.

    Best for: A person answering a few calls a month, with nothing to pay when the phone is quiet.

  • ReceptionHQ

    Human

    UK receptionists with 24/7 cover and no after-hours surcharge, on a rolling monthly subscription. MyReceptionist is £19 a month plus £1.40 a call, or £39 for 25 calls, plus VAT, with a 7-day free trial.

    Best for: A person around the clock, on a per-call price you can check first.

  • AnswerConnect

    Human

    Real people answer every call, 24/7, on published minute bundles: from £45 a month for 25 minutes, then £1.85 a minute.

    Best for: A person on every call, priced by the minute with a published bundle.

  • JAM

    Human

    UK-based call answering around the clock, tailored to your business. Prices start at £35 a month; the rest is on a quote.

    Best for: Calls that need tailored handling, with people answering day and night.

  • Moneypenny

    AI + human

    UK-based PAs on a quote, and an AI receptionist that starts from £49 a month, with the full price on a quote too.

    Best for: People on your calls, with AI as an option from the same company.

Fair questions

alldayPA and its alternatives, answered.

What are the best alternatives to alldayPA?

It depends who you want answering. For people rather than AI, The Answer Centre charges 99p a call with no monthly fee, ReceptionHQ's MyReceptionist is £19 a month plus £1.40 a call before VAT, AnswerConnect publishes minute bundles from £45 a month, and JAM starts at £35 a month with the rest on a quote. For AI at a flat price, Sayora is £49 a month with unlimited minutes. Sayora takes the details for your team to call back rather than putting callers through, so if you need transfers, choose one of the human services.

How much does alldayPA cost compared with Sayora?

alldayPA quotes its packages per business and bills per call or per minute. Its Google ad says from £90 a month, and its pay-as-you-go brand, myalldayPA, sells prepaid credits at 99p a call. Sayora is a flat, published £49 a month with unlimited minutes and no contract, and that stays the same however busy you get.

How much notice does alldayPA need?

alldayPA's terms and conditions ask for 90 days' notice from your next billing date to change tariff or cancel. Its Google ad says “No Contracts”, so ask which terms apply to your package before you sign. Sayora is month to month: stop the subscription yourself in the portal, or email us to close the account, and your data is deleted on the schedule in our privacy policy.

Does Sayora use real people like alldayPA?

No. alldayPA answers with a UK call-centre team. Sayora is an AI trained on your business that answers consistently and tells new callers it's AI, at a flat monthly price.
