Why SMBs pick VOOQIO
A unified Canadian front office instead of juggling a phone bot, CRM, chat widget, and review tool.
Less than a part-time receptionist — Starter from $249/mo with 300 included AI voice minutes on your live line.
Pro adds 1,200 voice minutes, 400 text/chat turns, web chat, WhatsApp, Meta DMs, HubSpot, Slack, QuickBooks, and Review Guard.
PIPEDA-aligned handling
Privacy practices documented for Canadian customers — controller/processor roles, subprocessors, and data-subject requests in our Privacy Policy and DPA.
Canadian data residency
Workspace data is processed and stored in Canada (Central) so procurement teams get a clear residency answer without a custom deck.
Encryption in transit & at rest
Calls, messages, and workspace records are protected with TLS in transit and encryption at rest for sensitive production data.
Tenant isolation in production
Each customer workspace is scoped with row-level security so one tenant cannot read another tenant’s leads, calls, or messages.
Transparent minutes, team limits, and integrations — for teams comparing plans before signup.

Billing FAQ
The last few pricing questions, answered
Trial, overages, plan flexibility, and what you can connect — in plain language.
1
Why is VOOQIO more than an AI receptionist?
VOOQIO does more than answer calls. It books appointments, qualifies leads, sends follow-ups, requests reviews, updates your customer records, and gives owners a clear view of what happened while they were busy.
2
Is VOOQIO cheaper than hiring a receptionist?
Yes. A full-time receptionist can cost thousands per month. VOOQIO starts at a fraction of that while working 24/7.
3
Can Sarah handle my industry?
Yes. Sarah can be trained for dental clinics, immigration offices, accounting firms, real estate teams, restaurants, and other service businesses.
4
Can VOOQIO connect with my current tools?
Yes. VOOQIO works with Google Calendar, Outlook, HubSpot, QuickBooks, CRM systems, SMS, WhatsApp, and web chat workflows.
5
Do I need technical skills?
No. VOOQIO is set up with onboarding support so business owners do not need to configure everything themselves.
6
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Valid business customers can start with a limited 7-day trial including 30 AI minutes for demo voice calls. A payment method is saved on file, but you are not charged until the trial ends unless you upgrade sooner.
