Orateur Review (2026)AI Phone Receptionist From CHF 49/mo

Pricing (2026)

✓ Pricing re-verified 3 Nov 2026

Orateur prices by plan, each with an allowance of AI agent time. Creator costs CHF 49 a month with 4 hours of agent time, 1 user, a free phone number, call history and analytics, and email support; extra minutes cost CHF 0.24. Pro costs CHF 99 a month with 9 hours, 2 users and priority support; extra minutes CHF 0.22. Scale costs CHF 199 a month with 19 hours and 5 users; extra minutes CHF 0.20.

Enterprise is custom priced through sales. Paying annually gives two months free, according to the pricing toggle; we did not see the annual totals written out. You start with 100 free minutes and no commitment. The page has a cost calculator: at 500 minutes a month it recommends Pro, and shows Creator at CHF 111.40 once the extra minutes are added. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.

Category context: Communication & Voice. Across the 22 tools in this category that we researched with a public US-dollar price, the median entry price is about $30 a month (lowest paid plan as listed, per seat where the vendor prices per seat).

The honest knock

Annual totals are not written out on the pricing page. The FAQ answers about languages, data security and what happens to your number when you cancel did not load in our reading, so those points are not confirmed. Calendar sync is named for Google Calendar and Outlook only.

What Orateur does

AI phone receptionist for small businesses in Switzerland and French-speaking Europe: answers calls around the clock, books appointments in Google Calendar or Outlook, takes messages and transfers calls.

Pick the plan by call minutes

The plans differ mainly in included minutes and users, so count your monthly call minutes first. Creator covers 240 minutes; above roughly 450 minutes a month Pro (540 minutes) is cheaper than Creator plus extra minutes, as the calculator on the pricing page shows. Scale only makes sense above about 1,000 minutes or when you need more than 2 users.

How to actually use Orateur

Start the free trial on orateur.ai; you get 100 free minutes and no commitment. You can first hear it work: the homepage has a demo call, or you can let the agent call you on a Swiss, French or UK number. Each plan includes a free phone number. Orateur reads your availability and books, moves or cancels appointments in Google Calendar or Outlook, takes messages with the caller's name, number and reason, transfers calls to you when needed, and answers questions about your hours, prices and services. There is also an iOS app.

The catch

French-only site, Swiss franc pricing; annual totals not shown.

Best for

small businesses in Switzerland and French-speaking Europe, such as clinics, salons, fiduciaries and law offices, that miss calls and want an AI receptionist to answer, book appointments and take messages around the clock

Lucrovox →

What it costs

Phone agent from $199/mo for 100 AI calls; LucroChat is a separate product from $29/mo

The catch

The meter is AI-handled calls: Starter’s 100 calls a month is roughly three a day, so a genuinely busy shop outgrows it quickly — and the steps are steep ($199 → $499 → $999).

Best for

local service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, med spas — losing revenue to missed calls who want a 24/7 AI receptionist that books jobs straight into Google Calendar, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan or Jobber

Both names above are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. Neither changes what this table says.

The natural comparison is Lucrovox — Lucrovox is in our dossiers as an AI phone agent too: on 30 October 2026 it started at $199 a month for 100 AI calls. Orateur starts at CHF 49 a month for 4 hours of agent time and is aimed at French-speaking Swiss businesses.
