Agencies can charge a premium for deployment because the voice agent replaces or augments human receptionist costs, which typically run $3000-$5000 per month per location. The retainer provides recurring revenue while the agency's cost to serve is low after the initial build, yielding high margins. Additionally, the measurable nature of call metrics allows agencies to demonstrate ROI and justify ongoing fees.
