# SkipCalls — AI receptionist that answers a small business's existing phone number 24/7. > Source: The Agents Index — https://theagentsindex.com/skipcalls (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-26 SkipCalls is an AI phone receptionist for small businesses that answers calls on your existing number, books appointments into connected calendars, filters spam and texts back call summaries. It also handles SMS and, on eligible plans, email. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://skipcalls.com | | Price | from $19.99/month billed monthly, $17/month billed annually | | Free trial | Partly | 7-day free trial, then $19.99/month or $199/year; the vendor states "No card to try it" and adds a 30-day money-back guarantee. No standing $0 plan. ## What it does **Done-for-you service** · No — This is self-serve software the buyer configures themselves in about a minute, not a managed build-and-run engagement; only the Enterprise tier adds a named human account manager. > Set up your AI receptionist in 60 seconds. > — https://skipcalls.com/about · "Try what we built" closing section ## How much it does unattended **Runs autonomously** · Yes — The agent completes whole inbound calls unattended: answering, qualifying, booking into the calendar and notifying the owner afterwards rather than during. > Takes messages, books appointments, answers questions about your business — like a real receptionist. > — https://skipcalls.com/how-it-works · Step 03, "AI handles the conversation" **Multi-agent** · Yes — A supervising model runs alongside the conversational agent on the same live call, and paid tiers allow three to ten separate agents on one account. > A second AI model monitors every conversation in real-time, coaching your primary agent without the caller knowing. > — https://skipcalls.com/features · Feature card, "Real-Time AI Supervision" **Agent permissions** · Partly — The owner sets boundaries in configuration (what to collect, what to never say, when to escalate), but there is no published per-action approval step before the agent acts on a call. > Set greetings, business hours, services, what to collect from callers, and things it should never say. > — https://skipcalls.com/how-it-works · Common Questions, "Can I customize what the AI says?" ## Which models it runs on **Model choice** · No — The vendor picks: it states which model it chose for supervision and why, and none of its 26 agent-setup articles offers a model selector. > The Supervisor runs on Gemini 3 Flash, chosen for its sub-second inference speed. > — https://skipcalls.com/features/real-time-supervision · Frequently Asked Questions, answer to What model powers the Supervisor? _Not established: Claude, GPT, Open models_ ## Where you use it **In your editor** · Partly — No editor extension; the only IDE-adjacent surface is its MCP server, which MCP-compatible clients including Cursor connect to directly. > SkipCalls also connects directly to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI clients through its OAuth MCP server at https://be.skipcalls.com/mcp. > — https://help.skipcalls.com/en/articles/14708665-api-documentation-playground · API Documentation & Playground, opening paragraphs **On the command line** · No — The developer surface the vendor documents is a browser playground plus REST calls; no terminal client is published. > Build integrations with SkipCalls using our public REST API. The interactive playground lets you browse every endpoint, test requests straight from the browser, and copy production-ready cURL. > — https://help.skipcalls.com/en/articles/14708665-api-documentation-playground · API Documentation & Playground, first paragraph **In a browser** · Yes — Besides iOS and Android apps there is a hosted web application at app.skipcalls.com, and an embeddable call widget puts the agent on the customer's own site. > Available on iOS, Android, Web > — https://skipcalls.com · Hero section badge row beneath the app-store buttons ## Whose machine it runs on **Self-hosted** · No — Delivery is vendor-hosted only: mobile apps plus a hosted dashboard, with tool calls executed server-side; no self-hosted or bring-your-own-infrastructure option appears on any tier. > Tool calls happen server-side. > — https://skipcalls.com/features/custom-agent-functions · FAQ, "Is my API data secure?" **Open source** · No — Proprietary and licensed, not sold; the Terms forbid deriving the source code or making derivative works. > You may not copy (except as permitted by this license and the Usage Rules), reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works > — https://app.skipcalls.com/terms · Section 2, Scope of License ## What it costs to run **How it meters** · Yes — Billing is a flat subscription per account rather than per minute or per task, with plan tiers metered by number of AI agents, phone numbers and monthly minutes. > No. $199/year is the full price. No setup fees, no per-minute charges, no overage fees, no contracts. What you see is what you pay. > — https://skipcalls.com/pricing · Pricing FAQ, "Are there any hidden fees?" **Free tier** · Partly — You can try it without talking to sales, but only through a seven-day trial; there is no standing free plan, and Enterprise limits still require a conversation. > Download the app and start using SkipCalls immediately. You'll only be charged after the 7-day free trial if you choose to continue using the service. > — https://skipcalls.com/pricing · Pricing FAQ, "How does the 7-day free trial work?" **API access** · Partly — API access is listed as a Growth-tier addition, so the cheapest Starter plan cannot drive the product programmatically; webhooks arrive at the same tier. > Everything in Starter, plus API access > — https://skipcalls.com/pricing · Growing Business tab, Growth plan card feature list **MCP server** · Partly — SkipCalls acts as an MCP client (it connects out to your MCP servers and discovers their tools), but the vendor publishes no MCP server through which another agent could query SkipCalls itself. > Connect Model Context Protocol servers over SSE or HTTP transport. Tools are discovered dynamically > — https://skipcalls.com/features/custom-agent-functions · "Two Ways to Connect" section, MCP Server Support card **Bring your own key** · No — Inference is the vendor's. The agent's own configuration tabs cover identity, instructions, knowledge, settings, embed, evaluations, collections and calendar, and none accepts a model provider key. The only credentials you supply are headers for your own HTTP tools. > Identity: Set your agent's name, internal description, and choose from our library of professional Voices. > — https://help.skipcalls.com/en/articles/13278598-how-to-create-your-first-ai-agent · Configuring Your Agent, list of configuration tabs ## Buying it for a team **A company can buy it** · Yes — Business-oriented tiers scale to ten agents and Enterprise adds custom limits and a named account manager, so an organisation can buy this rather than just an individual. > Everything in Business, plus Enterprise call scenarios Dedicated account manager Custom limits & volume pricing > — https://skipcalls.com/pricing · Growing Business tab, Enterprise plan card **Seat model** · Partly — Plans are not priced per human seat at all: the published limits count AI agents and phone numbers, and team workspaces are mentioned without any per-user price or seat floor. > Team workspaces (Admin & Member roles) > — https://skipcalls.com/features · "Features Built to Work Together" capability list **Pooled budget** · Partly — Minute allowances are quoted once per plan against several agents (250 minutes with three agents on Growth), which reads as an account-level pool, but the vendor never states pooling explicitly. > AI Agents 3 Phone Numbers 3 Minutes/month 250 > — https://skipcalls.com/pricing · Growing Business tab, Growth plan card limits table **Admin controls** · Partly — An owner can constrain the agent's script, escalation rules and collected fields, and workspaces distinguish Admin from Member, but no policy engine or per-tool permission control is documented. > Configure the business facts, questions, boundaries, and handoff rules your receptionist should follow. Keep unsupported actions and sensitive exceptions with your team. > — https://skipcalls.com/ai-receptionist-for-international-business · "Teach it what to say—and when to stop." section **Audit log** · No — The full capability list enumerates workspace governance (team roles, data export, GDPR consent) and names no audit or activity log; the help centre's role matrix likewise lists eight permissions, none of them logging. Call history is recorded, administrative action is not. > Team workspaces (Admin & Member roles) > — https://skipcalls.com/features · Section 'Features Built to Work Together', full capability list **Single sign-on** · Partly — Google and Apple sign-in only; no SAML or enterprise IdP is mentioned in the legal pages or the team-accounts documentation. > Our app offers the option to log in using your existing Google or Apple account. > — https://app.skipcalls.com/privacy · Section 3, Sign-In with Google and Apple ## What happens to your code **Opt out of training** · Partly — Voiceprints are contractually never used beyond service delivery, but nothing states whether call transcripts or recordings train models. > YOUR VOICEPRINTS WILL NEVER: • Be sold, leased, or traded • Be used beyond providing AI calling services > — https://app.skipcalls.com/privacy · Privacy Policy §9 'Biometric Identifier Notice (Illinois BIPA Compliance)' **Data residency** · Yes — United States only, stated flatly, with AWS and Supabase named as the storage providers and CCPA plus Illinois BIPA as the governing regimes. > We process and store data in the United States. Our service is designed for US-based users and complies with US privacy regulations including CCPA. > — https://app.skipcalls.com/privacy · Section 10, International Data Transfers **Getting out** · Partly — Call notes and data export in three formats are listed as product capabilities and subscriptions cancel in one tap, but no bulk account-export or data-deletion procedure is documented. > Call notes & data export (CSV, JSON, Excel) > — https://skipcalls.com/features · "Features Built to Work Together" capability list **Certifications** · Partly — GDPR-oriented data consent appears as a shipped feature, but no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA attestation is claimed anywhere on the site. > Data consent / GDPR compliance > — https://skipcalls.com/features · "Features Built to Work Together" capability list ## Provenance Every fact above comes from the vendor.
