Davinci does not run a Canadian price page or accept CAD - Canadian-dollar figures here convert at a 1.36 USD-to-CAD reference rate. Overage and setup-fee figures are from a 2019 third-party review (VirtualAssistantAssistant.com) because Davinci no longer publishes them. The 30-day cancellation notice is per Davinci's own responses to public BBB complaints. Hey Jodie pricing is published in full in CAD on the pricing page.

No onboarding call, no scripting workshop. I forwarded my number after coffee and Jodie was answering before lunch. The job summaries by text are exactly what I need from the truck.

Every existing client rings me about CRA notices in April. The AI handled the wave without me getting an overage bill. Worth it for the 6 weeks of March and April alone.

We needed to refine how the AI introduced our firm and which calls it transferred. Took a day or two of editing the script. Once that was settled it has been reliable, and the flat CAD price is what kept us.

Davinci's receptionist line is bolted onto a US virtual-office product. If you are out on jobs across Canada or running a single-site SMB, these are the businesses Hey Jodie was built for.
A frozen-pipe callout in Calgary at -25 should not eat into a 50-minute monthly bundle priced in US dollars. Hey Jodie answers unlimited Canadian calls flat at C$99, briefed to your trade.

See Hey Jodie for doctor's offices & medical clinicsDavinci's only listed head office is 6975 Union Park Avenue, Cottonwood Heights, Utah - there is no davincivirtual.ca site, no Canadian phone number, and no CAD price card. Canadian firms can sign up through davincivirtual.com but they are billed in US dollars and the receptionists answering their phone sit in Utah on Mountain Time. Hey Jodie supports Canadian numbers natively and bills in CAD.
Davinci publishes four tiers at davincivirtual.com/live-receptionists: US$129, US$239, US$249, and US$319/mo (Business 50/100 and Premium 50/100). At a 1.36 USD-to-CAD rate that lands at roughly C$175 to C$434/mo, plus FX margin on your card. Hey Jodie is C$99/mo flat in CAD, with unlimited Canadian minutes.
No. Davinci sells two products from the same brand: virtual office addresses (mailboxes and meeting rooms in rented locations including Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary) and a live receptionist service. If you need a virtual office with a receptionist, Davinci bundles them; Hey Jodie is receptionist-only and pairs with a separate Canadian virtual-address provider.
US BBB records list around 20 complaints over 3 years - roughly half are billing or service issues, with the rest split across order and product. Recurring themes are delayed cancellation processing (charged after 30-day notice was given), mail forwarding failures, and call routing or script-adherence issues. The BBB profile for Davinci Virtual LLC in Salt Lake City has the verbatim text.
For a Canadian business taking enough calls that voicemail starts costing jobs, yes - the cost of one missed customer typically covers a month of service. The question is whether you pay per minute in US dollars (Davinci, about C$3.25-C$6.77 effective) or flat in CAD (C$99 on Hey Jodie). For most low-to-mid-volume Canadian businesses, flat CAD wins on both price and predictability.
No - davincivirtual.com does not advertise a free trial on the live-receptionists page; the CTA is a quote request. Hey Jodie offers 7 days free with no card required, so real Canadian customer calls run through Jodie before you pay anything in CAD.
Start your Hey Jodie trial and forward your Canadian number first - run both in parallel for a week. Then email Davinci with 30 days written notice, request written confirmation of the cancellation date, and keep proof. The US BBB record shows several billing complaints citing delayed cancellation processing, so the paper trail matters more when the supplier sits across the border.
Davinci requires 30 days written notice to cancel and bills Canadian customers in US dollars - the cleanest path is to run both services in parallel for a week, then time your notice to your billing cycle so you do not pay double or carry an FX hit on the final invoice.
