Smith.ai alternatives

Smith.ai answers your calls, but it isn’t a CRM and receptionist follow-up is one message. Five AI options, and when staying is right.

Smith.ai answers your calls with AI, real receptionists or both, and serves many industries besides law. Firms look elsewhere when they want the lead worked after the call, each signed client traced to its ad, or prices that match from page to page. Superpractice ranks first, then Clio Grow and Scorpion. None of the five options puts a person on the line, so stay if you need one.

Why do firms look for an alternative, and when should they stay?

Superpracticeassessmenthow we judge

Firms look when they need more than the call answered. Smith.ai isn’t a CRM, and its pages don’t describe running your marketing or tracing a signed client to its source. On receptionist plans, follow-up is one text or email after the call. Its pages also quote different AI prices, and its terms make subscriber information jointly owned.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]checked smith.ai · Nov 7, 2026smith.ai/pricing/receptionists · Nov 7, 2026smith.ai/pricing/ai-receptionist · Nov 9, 2026smith.ai/blog/5-reasons-to-invest-in-an-answering-service-for-your-law-firm · Nov 9, 2026smith.ai/receptionists/terms · Nov 7, 2026

Stay if any of your calls need a person. Real receptionists answer 24/7, or you choose which call types go to AI. Many are former paralegals or court staff, and they can run conflict checks and take collect calls from correctional facilities. Staffed web chat and native links to Clio, MyCase, Lawmatics and Filevine round it out. No option on this page offers human receptionists.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]smith.ai/receptionistssmith.ai/hybrid-ai-human-receptionistssmith.ai/pricing/receptionistssmith.ai/chatchecked superpractice.com/pricingNov 7, 2026

What a replacement needs to do

  • Answering inbound calls 24/7
  • Screening and qualifying callers by matter type
  • Booking meetings on your calendar
  • Following up after the call
  • Pushing call summaries and leads into your CRM
  • Call volume and quality reporting

The shortlist

Ranked by how fully each option covers Smith.ai’s job. Like-for-like options sell the same job the same way. Partial options cover part of it, and adjacent or complementary options sit beside it.

  1. 1. Superpractice

    Partial

    Best for a firm leaving Smith.ai that wants AI voice agents answering every call 24/7 $250 to $1,000 a month and AI agents following up alongside its team, and that does not need human receptionists.

    Why it ranks here

    It ranks first because it is the closest swap for Smith.ai’s AI Receptionist, with published prices and no contract. Its one growth system, with the CRM and AI agents built in, keeps working the lead after the call. It is partial because it offers no human receptionists.[16][17][18][19][20][21][15]superpractice.com/pricing · Nov 7, 2026superpractice.com · Nov 8, 2026

    Strength

    A strong pick if you want AI on the phone and the lead worked afterward. Voice agents answer 24/7, ask your qualifying questions and pass hot callers to your cell. AI agents then work the lead alongside your team until it books or says no. Both follow skills you write. Video ads star your AI avatar.[22][23][24][21][25][26][27]superpractice.com/features/ai-voice-agents · Nov 7, 2026superpractice.com/pricing · Nov 7, 2026docs.superpractice.com/skills · Nov 8, 2026superpractice.com · Nov 7, 2026

    Limitation

    No human receptionists, live agents or staffed web chat are offered. Its pages don’t list conflict checks or collect calls. Booking on the call starts on the $500 Pro plan, while the $250 Starter routes qualified leads to your own scheduling.[15][28][29][30][16][17]checked superpractice.com/pricingNov 7, 2026

    Pricing

    • Met: Clear pricing
    • Met: What’s included
    • Met: No long contract
    Published and month to month, with no contract or exit fee. Voice plans run $250 for 100 minutes to $1,000 for 750, then $2 a minute. Managed Ads, which runs the marketing, costs $997 to $4,000 a month.[16][18][17][31][32]superpractice.com/pricingNov 7, 2026
  2. 2. Clio Grow (Clio)

    Partial

    Best for a firm on Clio or moving to it that wants intake, CRM and AI in one system, with Grow AI answering calls where set up at $25 per hired matter plus the subscription.

    Why it ranks here

    It ranks second because Grow AI covers the call and the steps after it inside a legal-only CRM. It is partial because answering is one feature of software your team runs, and its pages don’t describe human receptionists.[33][34][35][36][37]clio.com/growclio.com/tosNov 7, 2026

    Strength

    The shortest switch if you already work in Clio. Where set up, its AI answers a new caller, explains the next step and books a meeting. Grow AI also screens for fit and conflicts, chases unsigned agreements and scores each inquiry against your past successful cases.[38][33][34][39][40]clio.com/growclio.com/customers-grow-aiNov 7, 2026

    Limitation

    Clio doesn’t run your ads or SEO, beyond the Local Services Ads you run yourself in Clio Grow. Terms renew for the same length, and cancelling mid-term makes the rest of the term due at once.[41][42][43][44]checked clio.com/grow · Nov 7, 2026help.clio.com/hc/en-us/articles/17588487065627 · Nov 8, 2026clio.com/tos · Nov 7, 2026

    Pricing

    • Not met: Clear pricing
    • Not met: What’s included
    • Not met: No long contract
    Partly published. Grow AI costs $25 per hired matter with a monthly cap you set, on top of a Clio Grow subscription quoted on request. The term is set in your order and renews automatically.[45][46][47][43]clio.com/pricing · Nov 8, 2026clio.com/customers-grow-ai · Nov 7, 2026clio.com/tos · Nov 7, 2026
  3. 3. Scorpion

    Adjacent

    Best for a firm that wants its website, ads and intake AI from one company with an AI voice assistant that answers and books callers, and accepts unpublished prices and a typical 12-month contract.

    Why it ranks here

    It ranks third because its voice assistant answers, qualifies and books callers, but it comes inside a marketing engagement. Prices aren’t published, and the technology usually takes a 12-month contract.[48][49][50][51]scorpion.co/law-firms/marketing-solutions/convertscorpion.co/law-firmschecked scorpion.co/sitemap.xmlscorpion.co/faqNov 7, 2026

    Strength

    A good fit if you want one company running your site, ads and intake AI. The voice assistant can run on missed calls, after hours or all day. A messaging assistant answers texts, chats and forms around the clock, and every lead is scored for case value. Reports show cost per signed client by source.[49][48][52][53][54]scorpion.co/law-firmsscorpion.co/law-firms/marketing-solutions/convertNov 7, 2026

    Limitation

    No prices are published, and notice and exit terms aren’t stated on its pages. Scorpion also serves home services, franchise and healthcare. Its pages don’t describe included AI minutes or say how often you meet your team.[50][55][56][57][58]checked scorpion.co/sitemap.xmlscorpion.co/faqscorpion.co/about-us/partnershipsNov 7, 2026

    Pricing

    • Not met: Clear pricing
    • Not met: What’s included
    • Not met: No long contract
    Not published. The price depends on your goals, the marketing technology usually needs a 12-month contract and advertising is usually month to month.[50][59][51][60]checked scorpion.co/sitemap.xmlscorpion.co/faqNov 7, 2026
  4. 4. Lawmatics

    Partial

    Best for a firm that wants a legal CRM for intake, automation and reporting first with AI agents as add-ons, and will keep Smith.ai or another receptionist service connected for its calls.

    Why it ranks here

    It ranks fourth because its voice agent is a separate add-on, and its pages disagree on whether phone agents are live yet. Lawmatics is software your firm runs, and people on the phone come through receptionist integrations such as Smith.ai.[61][62][63][64][65]lawmatics.com/ai/merlin-engage · Nov 7, 2026lawmatics.com/ai · Nov 9, 2026lawmatics.com/integrations · Nov 7, 2026

    Strength

    A strong pick if you want a legal CRM first and AI on top. Merlin Qualify scores every lead and shows why, and you decide what the outreach agents send and when a person reviews first. Leads book on your Outlook or Google calendar, and Google Ads spend and calls are logged to their source.[66][64][67][68][69][70][71]lawmatics.com/legal-crmlawmatics.com/ai/merlin-engagelawmatics.com/ai/merlin-qualifylawmatics.com/client-intake/legal-calendaring-softwarelawmatics.com/integrations/google-adslawmatics.com/integrations/callrailNov 7, 2026

    Limitation

    No plan prices are published, and Merlin Engage costs extra and needs Merlin Qualify. You commit to the full term at signing, and leaving early is at Lawmatics’ discretion for half the remaining fees. Its pages don’t state the term length or how long setup takes.[72][61][73][74][75][76][77]checked lawmatics.com/pricinglawmatics.com/ai/merlin-engagelawmatics.com/terms-of-usechecked lawmatics.com/onboardingNov 7, 2026

    Pricing

    • Not met: Clear pricing
    • Not met: What’s included
    • Not met: No long contract
    Not published. You get a custom quote, and the Merlin add-ons cost extra at undisclosed rates.

  5. 5. Intaker

    Partial

    Best for a firm whose inquiries arrive by chat, text and social and whose own team takes the calls, and that wants agents qualifying those leads in seconds and sending the retainer for e-signature.

    Why it ranks here

    It ranks fifth because its pages don’t describe AI that answers inbound calls. Its agents cover chat, texts and social messages, and your own team takes the calls.[80][81][82][83][84]checked intaker.com/homeintaker.com/home/personal-injury.htmlintaker.com/home/products/ai-texting-agent.htmlNov 7, 2026

    Strength

    A good fit if your leads arrive by chat, text and social apps. Agents qualify those leads within seconds, and Live Call Connect rings your team when a caller qualifies. Qualified leads get the retainer for e-signature, and everything sits in one inbox. It doesn’t train general AI models on your data.[83][82][85][86][87][88]intaker.com/home/personal-injury.htmlintaker.com/homeintaker.com/home/products/communications-hub.htmlintaker.com/home/privacy.htmlNov 7, 2026

    Limitation

    There is no pricing page, and its one stated price is an $80 plan from a January 2023 blog post. It is also sold to home services and other local businesses. Plans cap unique visitors, and its terms give Intaker ownership of data passing through the service.[89][90][91][92][93]checked intaker.com/home · Nov 7, 2026blog.intaker.com/blog/live-chat-for-law-firms-free-vs-paid · Nov 7, 2026intaker.com/home/all-industries.html · Nov 7, 2026help.intaker.com/article/understanding-usage-and-visitor-limits · Nov 7, 2026intaker.com/home/terms.html · Nov 9, 2026

Superpractice runs your client acquisition and traces every signed client back to the source that brought them in. Your team stays in control of every relationship.

Superpractice publishes this page and appears on it.

Superpractice is not the right alternative when

  • You want a person on the line for some or all calls, or a live agent to step in when the AI can’t.
  • You need conflict checks, collect calls from correctional facilities or payment taken on the call.
  • You want to test the AI on your own call scenarios for free before paying anything.
  • You already run Clio Grow or Lawmatics and want the AI inside that CRM, not a second system.
  • You want staffed website chat or outbound calling campaigns run by people.

What changes if you leave Smith.ai?

Leaving is mostly about where your number forwards, where intake data lands and who follows up afterward. Give the AI Receptionist 30 days’ notice, and know that receptionist plans bill to the end of the cycle. Get your export rights in writing before you move the number.

What should you ask any provider?

Do any of our calls need a person?

Decide this first. Every option on this page answers with AI, and none adds a live receptionist. If some calls need a person, Smith.ai’s human and hybrid plans do a job no alternative here does.

What happens to the lead after the call, and who does it?

Ask each provider to walk a missed-call lead from the first ring to a booked meeting. Ask what each text and email costs and who sends it.

Will we see signed clients by source, or only calls and bookings?

Ask for a sample report from a firm like yours. Then ask which channels are tracked to signed clients today.

Is the voice agent live today?

Ask for a live demo on your own number before you sign. Some products list phone agents as rolling out or coming soon.

What will the first 90 days cost in total?

Add the plan fee, overage, any per-matter charge and add-ons such as booking. Then add any setup fee and the CRM the AI sits inside, if it needs one.

What notice is needed to leave, and what leaves with us?

Terms here run from month to month to terms committed for their full length. Get notice periods, exit fees, number porting and exports of recordings and contacts in writing.

How we made this page

  • Built only from each company’s public pages as of November 7, 2026. We didn’t test any product, and Superpractice has no customer, partner or affiliate relationship with any company named here.
  • Superpractice publishes this page, competes on AI call answering and ranks first. The rank rests on coverage of the AI answering job. Superpractice offers no human receptionists, and no entry here does.
  • Smith.ai’s pages disagree on AI prices, refunds and integration counts, and Lawmatics’ pages differ on which agents are live. Where pages disagree, both statements are shown.
  • Results any company reports about itself and third-party reviews are not shown. Prices and terms change, and missing details are marked rather than guessed.
  • We work to keep this information accurate and current, but we can’t guarantee it. Companies change their services, prices and terms, so confirm the details with each company before you decide.
  • Company names and trademarks belong to their owners. Naming a company here doesn’t mean it endorses Superpractice or is affiliated with it.
  • First draft for review.
  • Credited Superpractice skills and access from other AI tools over MCP. Added Superpractice’s one-system design.
