What Voxworks is good at
Voxworks is a capable Australian platform with clear pricing and real credentials. Here's what it does well, in its own words where we could.
Start in minutes, no card needed
You can sign up online through Voxworks' own web app. Voxworks offers a free trial of "14 days · 100 minutes · No credit card required", so it's easy to try before you commit.
Prices on the page, in Australian dollars
Voxworks publishes five plans, from A$49 a month, ex GST, for 60 minutes up to A$999 a month, ex GST, for 2,500 minutes. It also shows a per-minute breakeven across the plans, so you can work out which one fits.
Warm transfers with context
Voxworks says: "When a human needs to step in, Voxworks briefs them first so they know who is calling and what the issue is." Your staff pick up the call already knowing what it's about.
Outbound calling as well as inbound
Voxworks is built for outbound campaigns as well as answering calls. Its home page says: "Launch calls from CRM stages, forms, events, and internal workflow triggers."
Native integrations and built-in automation
Voxworks lists "one-click native integrations with HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Cal.com, Make.com, n8n, Zapier, Attio, and more", and says pre- and post-call automations, data transformation and webhooks are built in.
Australian owned, and ISO 27001 certified
Voxworks says it is "100% Australian Owned & Built" and uses "natural Australian AI voices designed to feel more credible to local callers". Its site also states "Australian Data Sovereignty" and that it is ISO 27001 certified, which carries weight for a business that has to answer security questions.
Who Voxworks suits: A technically confident Australian business or agency that wants to build and launch its own AI voice agents quickly, for inbound calls or outbound campaigns, on a published monthly plan, and is happy to set them up and run them itself. Its pricing page also lists script design and QA among its plan features, so check which plan includes it if you want help with the build.
Where Chirp is different
Chirp is a managed service. Our team does the building, the connecting and the improving.
Built around how you already work
Our Melbourne team maps how your business handles calls, your operating rules, and writes them into your agent. It sorts emergencies from quotes, books the job and puts the call through to your office when it should. You're live in weeks.
Better every week, with a person in the loop
Every Chirp call is scored and the misses surface. Our team retrains the agent, tests the change against last week, then ships it. That loop runs every week with a person in it. Chirp resolves 80.3% of customer requests on average, rising about 1 point a month.
Connects to any software you use
Chirp works with 6,000+ integrations, APIs and data connectors. If your software isn't on the list, our team builds a custom integration, so bookings land where your team already works.
Results you can check, and a guarantee on the build
Chirp resolves 80.3% of customer requests on average, and has booked more than 10,000 appointments and handled more than 20,000 successful customer calls. Run it live for 60 days, and if it hasn't delivered, your Build & Implementation Fee comes back.
It gets better every week
Every AI receptionist gets things wrong. With Chirp, every call is scored, the misses surface on their own, and our team ships the fix that week.

The real cost of managing it yourself
A tool you run yourself is cheaper on the invoice. What you don't pay upfront, you can end up paying for in your own hours and in calls that go elsewhere. Here is Chirp's estimate for a typical trade business.

The verdict
Chirp is the better choice for a business that wants its AI receptionist built and looked after by a local team, without taking on the setup and upkeep itself. Our Australian team builds the agent around your rules, connects it to your software and improves it every week, and Chirp resolves 80.3% of customer requests on average. Chirp estimates that running an AI receptionist yourself can cost a trade business about $45,840 in its first year on top of the subscription, in your own time and in lost jobs. With Chirp, that work is ours. Plans start from $16 a day, plus a one-off Build & Implementation Fee, and the Go-Live Guarantee means that fee comes back if Chirp hasn't delivered after 60 days live.
