From St. John's to Victoria, an AI receptionist costs $99 a month — one national price, no provincial surprises
Canadians pay for most business services in a patchwork of provincial prices, so a single national figure deserves a closer look. This page explains what the $99 USD monthly starting price actually contains for a Canadian business, why it does not change between Halifax and Vancouver, and how it stacks up against the ways Canadian companies currently pay to get their phones answered.

Why One Price Can Cover a Country This Wide
Hiring a receptionist in Canada is a provincial calculation. Wages, payroll levies, statutory holidays and vacation entitlements differ from province to province, and the going rate for experienced front-desk staff in downtown Toronto looks nothing like the rate in Brandon or Charlottetown. A business with locations in two provinces runs the exercise twice and lands on two different answers, each covering only the hours that one person can sit in one chair. A traditional answering service smooths the geography but keeps the meter: minutes are minutes, a bilingual call is often billed at a premium, and the invoice swells in exactly the months when the phones ring most. A flat AI subscription removes both variables at once. The work itself — greeting the caller in your name, answering questions about your services, booking against your calendar, texting you the summary — is identical whether the call originates in Québec City, Saskatoon or Kelowna, so the price is identical too. Marvic AI's plans begin at $99 USD a month and step through $199, $299, $399 and $499 as volume and features grow. There is no exchange-rate clause hiding in the terms, no surcharge for a French-language conversation, and no extra charge when a Newfoundland caller rings ninety minutes ahead of your Ontario opening time. The sections below break the figure open piece by piece, because a national price only deserves trust when a business owner can see exactly what it replaces.
Identical pricing in every province and territory
The subscription does not read your postal code. A clinic in Moncton and a contractor in Surrey pay the same figure for the same coverage.
Bilingual answering without a bilingual premium
French-language calls are answered fully in French at the standard price — no upgraded tier, no per-call language fee, no separate francophone package.
Six time zones inside one monthly figure
Early Atlantic callers and late Pacific callers are covered by the same plan, so a national business stops stitching together regional arrangements.
A predictable line in a Canadian budget
The amount is set in USD and stays flat month to month, which makes it simpler to forecast than wages that move with provincial minimums and payroll changes.
Coverage during every province's holidays
When Ontario closes for Family Day and Québec does not, your phones follow each location's real calendar instead of whoever remembered to update a schedule.
Growth into a new province adds no answering contract
Opening a second location extends the existing setup with its own hours and number; the answering arrangement does not restart from zero.
What's Included in AI Receptionist
Everything your business needs to win in Canada.
Conversations completed in English or French
Callers book, reschedule and ask detailed questions in the language they started in, and switch mid-call if they prefer — the booking still lands correctly.
Location-aware answers for multi-site businesses
Each site's address, hours, services and directions are stored separately, so a caller hears details for the branch they actually dialled.
Answered on the first ring at any Canadian hour
A 6 a.m. call in St. John's and a 9 p.m. call in Victoria both reach a greeting in your business name, staffed by nobody you had to schedule.
Written summaries grouped by location
Every conversation arrives as a short note — caller, need, outcome — sorted so a multi-province owner can scan a whole country in minutes.
Your approved prices quoted, never improvised
The receptionist quotes only the fees and rates you supplied during setup, in the currency you supplied them, and refers anything else back to you.
Simple Process. Real Results.
Pick the tier by call volume, not by province
Count the calls your locations take in a normal week. Most Canadian small businesses land on the $99 or $199 tier; the pricing page spells out what each level adds.
Teach it each location once
A guided setup records your services, hours per site, holiday calendars and booking rules — including which locations serve French-speaking callers.
Trial it nationally for fourteen days
Forward one number or all of them. Two weeks of real Canadian callers, answered and summarised, with no card taken at signup.

AI Receptionist in Canada — Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price really the same everywhere in Canada?
Yes. The plans are $99, $199, $299, $399 and $499 USD per month depending on the tier you choose, and the tier depends on call volume and features — never on your province, city or the language your callers use.
Do I pay in Canadian dollars or US dollars?
Plans are billed in USD at the figures published on the pricing page. Because the amount is flat, the only movement is the exchange rate itself; there are no Canadian surcharges, regional fees or provincial add-ons layered on top.
Does French-language answering cost extra?
No. Complete answering in French is included at every tier, which is essential for businesses serving Québec and francophone communities elsewhere in Canada. Traditional answering services frequently charge a bilingual premium; this plan does not.
How does the cost compare with hiring across two provinces?
Two part-time hires in two provinces mean two wage rates, two payroll setups and two holiday calendars — and evenings still go unanswered in both places. One flat subscription covers every location around the clock, which is why multi-site Canadian businesses usually see the largest saving.
What happens during a provincial holiday at one location?
Each location's holiday calendar is loaded during setup, so that site's callers hear the correct holiday greeting and booking behaviour while your other locations trade normally. Nobody has to remember which province closes on which Monday.
