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 IRS letters in February. The AI handled the wave without me getting an overage bill. Worth it for the 6 weeks of February-March 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 price is what kept us.

Davinci's receptionist line targets buyers who already use a Davinci virtual office. If you are out on jobs or running a single-location SMB and just need calls answered well, these are the businesses Hey Jodie was built for.
A 9pm boiler callout should not eat into a 50-minute monthly bundle. Hey Jodie answers unlimited US calls flat, with a script briefed to your trade.

See Hey Jodie for attorneys & law firmsA 30-day cancellation notice is a deal-breaker for an SMB trialling answering services. Hey Jodie is monthly rolling with a 7-day no-card trial.

See Hey Jodie for doctor's offices & medical practicesDavinci publishes four plans on davincivirtual.com/live-receptionists: Business 50 at $129/mo, Business 100 at $239/mo, Premium 50 at $249/mo, and Premium 100 at $319/mo. Each plan caps at 50 or 100 minutes - over that, you pay an overage rate Davinci does not display on the current page. Hey Jodie is $49/mo flat, with unlimited US minutes.
No. Davinci sells two products from the same brand: virtual office addresses (mailbox + meeting rooms) 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 virtual-address provider.
Public BBB records list around 20 complaints over 3 years - roughly half are billing or service issues, with the rest split across order and product. The most common 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.
Davinci's current page does not display a minimum contract term, but its responses to public BBB complaints confirm 30 days written notice is required to cancel. Older third-party reviews reference an annual structure; this may have changed since. Hey Jodie is monthly rolling with no notice period.
For a small 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 (Davinci, $2.39-$4.98 effective) or flat ($49 on Hey Jodie). For most low-to-mid-volume businesses, flat wins.
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 customer calls run through Jodie before you pay anything.
Start your Hey Jodie trial and forward your business 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 BBB record shows several billing complaints citing delayed cancellation processing, so the paper trail matters.
Davinci requires 30 days written notice to cancel - 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.
