How we calculate it

Monthly cost is the plan's base fee plus any usage over what the plan includes, at the vendor's listed overage rate. Phone numbers, carrier fees and taxes are not included. The human comparison uses the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 median hourly wage: $18.27 for receptionists and $21.53 for customer service representatives, wages only, before payroll taxes and benefits.
