Not happy

Almost every call to my cell does not ring and goes right to ai 99% of the time and if I do ketch a incoming call and answer it pends connecting to ai and never connects. Months of paid subscription from an app that I have I’m now finish out is costing me business. I have checked all of the setting and found nothing wrong. The app worked fine before it was renamed for whatever reason.

Delay

Everything is delayed. The whole conversation is in delay.

Terrible call quality

Great futures but call quality is awful and support is awful. I am not renewing my subscription. Looking for other options.

Best Ai Receptionist app

Beside has completely changed the way I handle calls for my business. The AI sounds natural, answers questions professionally, books appointments, and follows up with customers without missing a beat. It has helped me capture leads I would have otherwise lost from missed calls and has saved me a ton of time. The setup was straightforward, and the team is constantly improving the platform with new features. We’ve integrated it into our AI systems, and it’s become one of the core tools we recommend to clients because of how reliable it is. If you’re looking for an AI receptionist that actually helps you grow your business instead of just answering the phone, I highly recommend Beside. It’s one of the best AI tools I’ve used.

Why?

It charges you before you even use the app, why would I pay when I don't even know if I would like it or not?
