Honest comparison

    Convos vs. Smith.ai.

    Both answer law firm calls. Both are bilingual. Here's where each one is strong — honestly — so you can pick the right fit for your firm.

    Purpose-built per firm

    Convos's agent is configured to your practice area, your intake questions, and your disclosures — not a one-size-fits-all receptionist.

    One intelligence hub

    Every call — including the ones your own staff answer — recorded, transcribed, and summarized on one timeline per client.

    Predictable pricing

    Predictable monthly pricing with 300 voice minutes included and published overage rates, rather than per-call metering that scales with volume.

    Founder-led onboarding

    We configure the script with you, attend your first calls, and tune the agent to how your firm actually intakes — not a self-serve signup.

    Frequently asked

    Is Convos a Smith.ai competitor?

    Convos and Smith.ai both provide intake answering for law firms and both offer bilingual English/Spanish coverage. The main difference is positioning: Convos is a purpose-built, per-firm configured AI intake platform with a predictable monthly plan with included usage and published overage rates and a unified call-intelligence hub, while Smith.ai offers a broad receptionist product across AI-only and human-agent tiers with per-call pricing.

    How does Convos pricing compare to Smith.ai?

    Smith.ai's AI Receptionist starts around $97.50/mo and its Live (human) Receptionist starts around $292.50/mo for 30 calls, with per-call pricing in the ~$1.60–$1.90 range and $2.40 overage. Convos plans start at $900/mo and include 300 voice minutes, structured as a predictable monthly rate with published overage rates rather than per-call billing.

    Does Smith.ai speak Spanish?

    Yes — Smith.ai offers bilingual English/Spanish coverage. Convos is also bilingual; Convos's emphasis is on natural Latin-American Spanish and full-script intake in either language with automatic language detection.

    Which one should a small law firm pick?

    If you want the broadest receptionist feature set with optional human agents and per-call billing, Smith.ai is a strong choice. If you want a purpose-built intake platform configured to your practice area, with a predictable monthly plan and every call (yours or the AI's) captured on one timeline, Convos is built for that.
