Vonage is a solid VoIP system, but it does not answer your phone — it just makes it ring somewhere else. If no one picks up, you still miss the call. Foyer is the layer on top: it answers every call, has a conversation with the caller, books appointments, takes messages, and sends you a summary. For $99/mo, you get an actual receptionist, not just a phone line.
Foyer offers AI-powered call answering starting at $99/mo, compared to Vonage Business at $20–40/mo. Foyer provides 24/7 coverage, real-time calendar booking, full call transcripts, and instant setup — features that Vonage Business either lacks or charges extra for.
Vonage Business starts at $20–40/mo. Foyer starts at $99/mo with 100 minutes included. Most businesses save 50–75% on their answering costs while getting better features like calendar sync, call transcripts, and unlimited simultaneous call handling.
