| Pricing | EnterpriseNot published — arini.ai has no pricing page (the /pricing path returns 404) and a demo is required. Third-party reports put it at roughly $249/month at the low end and in the mid-three-figures per location per month; treat both as third-party reported, not the vendor's price. Ask whether outbound recall calls are metered separately and how multi-location DSO pricing steps. | EnterpriseStarting from $199 per month, per the vendor. The three tiers — Pro, Elite and Ultimate — are quoted after a demo rather than priced on the page. As read on the vendor's pricing page in early October 2026. |

- Sold from single offices up to 100+ location DSOs
- The default answer in every 2026 dental AI receptionist roundup
Cons
- No published pricing or contract terms
- Phone and basic SMS only — no web chat, forms, or payments
- No G2 or Capterra presence; case studies are vendor-published
- HIPAA/BAA and SOC 2 claims live on integration-guide blog posts, not the homepage or a trust page — get the BAA in writing
