VeraDial

VeraDial is an AI receptionist and business phone app for small businesses in the United States and Canada, built by Graham Thomson in Toronto. Each account gets a dedicated local or toll-free number, and its AI receptionist, Vera, answers calls and texts around the clock. Vera greets callers, answers questions about services, hours and pricing, takes messages and connects the callers who need the owner, with a transcript and summary of every call. On Vera Plus and above, Vera can also place outbound calls for a goal you describe, translate live calls in 13 languages and book appointments into Google Calendar. VeraDial runs on iOS, Android and the web, and a read-only MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP clients look up calls, summaries and voicemails. Prices are in US dollars. Vera Lite is $14.99 per month or $149.99 per year, with one line, 50 AI receptionist minutes and 150 calling minutes a month. Vera Plus is $29.99 per month or $299.99 per year, with unlimited AI answering under fair use, 300 calling minutes, 100 minutes of outbound AI calling and 20 minutes of live translation.
