PATLive vs Ringing.io FAQ
Is PATLive's 14-day trial better than Ringing.io's 25 minutes?
While PATLive offers a 14-day trial, you're still limited by minutes. Ringing.io's 25 free minutes let you test the service immediately, and our $49/month plan includes unlimited calls - far more value than PATLive's $235 for just 75 minutes.
Does PATLive's 'Since 1990' experience matter?

Why is PATLive's overage rate so expensive?
PATLive charges $1.85-2.25 per additional minute because they're paying human agents. Ringing.io's AI technology allows us to charge just $0.30 per minute, that's 87% less for overages.
Can Ringing.io match PATLive's US-based service quality?
Our AI provides consistent, professional service that exceeds human agents. No sick days, no training issues, no mood variations - just perfect service 24/7/365. Plus, we support 20+ languages vs PATLive's $20/month Spanish add-on.
