What Orateur does
Answers business phone calls with an AI voice agent that books appointments, takes messages, transfers calls and answers common questions.
Orateur is an AI voice receptionist for businesses that cannot always pick up the phone. It answers incoming calls, records a message with the caller's name, number and reason, books or changes appointments in a connected calendar, and hands important calls to a real person. Its pages say it covers nights, weekends and holidays, and that it can handle one call or fifty at the same time.
Calendar booking works with Google Calendar and Outlook. Callers can ask about opening hours, prices, services or directions and get replies in their own language. The vendor lists healthcare, legal, real estate, salon and spa, and home services as target sectors, and the site mentions an iOS version.
Pricing is published in pounds. Creator costs £49 per month and lists ~4 hours of AI agent time and 1 user. Pro costs £99 per month with ~9 hours and 2 users. Scale costs £199 per month with ~19 hours and 5 users. Extra credits are charged per minute: £0.24 on Creator, £0.22 on Pro and £0.20 on Scale. Every listed plan includes a free phone number and call history and analytics. Enterprise is a custom option reached through Contact Sales. New users can start with 100 free minutes and no commitment. The pricing page shows a Yearly toggle with a note about 2 months free, but it does not state yearly amounts.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Handles calls, messages, appointment booking and call transfer in one product
- Calendar sync with Google Calendar and Outlook is stated
- Public plan prices in £: £49, £99 and £199 per month
- 100 free minutes to start with no commitment
- Answers calls around the clock and can take many calls at once
Cons
- No free plan listed, only 100 free minutes to start
- Each plan has limited AI agent time, with extra minutes charged at £0.24, £0.22 or £0.20
- Creator allows 1 user and Pro 2 users, so larger teams need Scale with 5 users
- Yearly prices are not shown, only a '2 months free' note
- No API or integration list beyond Google Calendar and Outlook is stated
Our take
Orateur suits small and mid-sized businesses that lose calls while staff are busy and want an automated front desk that books appointments and takes messages. The published tiers make budgeting simple, and the 100 free minutes let you check the fit before paying. It is less suited to buyers who want a permanently free plan, need API or integration details, or want a yearly price confirmed in advance, since none of that is stated on the pages. Heavy call volume will also mean paying per-minute rates for extra credits.
