Two services that both answer your phone. The difference is which side of the Atlantic the bill comes from, and whether the price you see at sign-up is the price on the invoice.

Davinci Virtual pricing from davincivirtual.com/live-receptionists, fetched May 2026. Davinci does not run a UK price page or accept GBP - sterling figures here convert at a 0.79 dollar-to-pound 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 sterling on the pricing page.

We used to dread the monthly invoice - every minute over the bundle was extra, and FX margin on the card made it worse. Hey Jodie is £49 and it stays £49. The AI captures everything we would ask a human to capture.

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

Every existing client rings me about HMRC letters in January. The AI handled the wave without me getting an overage bill. Worth it for the 6 weeks of December and January 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 sterling price is what kept us.

Davinci's receptionist line is bolted onto a US virtual-office product. If you are out on jobs across the UK or running a single-site SMB, these are the businesses Hey Jodie was built for.
A 9pm boiler callout in Manchester should not eat into a 50-minute monthly bundle priced in dollars. Hey Jodie answers unlimited UK calls flat at £49, briefed to your trade and Gas Safe details.

See Hey Jodie for gp surgeries & medical practicesDavinci's only listed head office is 6975 Union Park Avenue, Cottonwood Heights, Utah - there is no davincivirtual.co.uk site, no UK phone number, and no GBP price card. UK firms can sign up through davincivirtual.com but they are billed in dollars and the receptionists answering their phone are US-based on Mountain Time. Hey Jodie is UK-built, supports UK numbers natively and bills in sterling.
Davinci publishes four tiers at davincivirtual.com/live-receptionists: Business 50 at $129/mo, Business 100 at $239/mo, Premium 50 at $249/mo, Premium 100 at $319/mo. At a 0.79 dollar-to-pound rate that lands at roughly £102 to £252/mo, plus FX margin on your card. Hey Jodie is £49/mo flat in sterling, with unlimited UK minutes.
No. Davinci sells two products from the same brand: virtual office addresses (mailboxes plus meeting rooms in rented locations worldwide) 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 UK 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 UK 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 dollars (Davinci, about £1.90-£3.93 effective) or flat in sterling (£49 on Hey Jodie). For most low-to-mid-volume UK businesses, flat sterling 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 UK customer calls run through Jodie before you pay anything in sterling.
Start your Hey Jodie trial and forward your UK 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 Atlantic.
Davinci requires 30 days written notice to cancel and bills UK customers in 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.
