Dapta alternatives
Dapta sells a toolkit for building voice, text and WhatsApp agents, and you pay for it in credits (checked 24 September 2026). If what you want is a receptionist that answers your phone and books the job, the options below are set out by what you pay for. GreetKeeper starts at $49 a month for 200 answered calls.

Why people leave Dapta
Not a general complaint about the category. The specific wall this vendor puts in front of you.
Dapta's pricing page asks you to turn a phone budget into credits. Its calculator sizes a plan by minutes, contacts or messages, and the plan cards list credits, users and workspaces. A dental office or a plumber is after a different number: what a month of calls will cost. The product menu also runs wide, from AI notetakers to debt-collection campaigns, which is a lot of platform to configure for one inbound line.
What the bill does as you grow
The entry price is the cheapest month you will ever have. This is the shape of the rest.
Dapta's bundles step from $99 to $499 to $1,499 (checked 24 September 2026), and which step you need depends on how fast your calls burn credits. GreetKeeper steps from $49 to $149 to $349, for 200, 750 and 2,000 answered calls. Between steps you pay the printed overage. An office taking 900 calls a month on Professional pays $149, plus $0.35 for each of the 150 calls past 750.
What moving off Dapta actually involves
Forwarding takes five minutes. Here is the part that takes an afternoon.
Open your Dapta agent and copy out the parts that describe your business: hours, services, prices you quote and the questions callers ask. Paste them into GreetKeeper's script, or point it at your website for a first draft and correct that. If Dapta pushed call results into HubSpot or GoHighLevel, rebuild that step as a Zap. Webhooks by Zapier catches GreetKeeper's signed webhook on a paid Zapier plan, and the CRM's own Zapier action writes the contact. Forward your line last, once a test call reads right.
Common questions
What's a simpler Dapta alternative for inbound calls?
GreetKeeper answers your inbound calls, books into Google Calendar or Outlook and sends every call as a transcript and a short summary. It starts at $49 a month for 200 answered calls, with a 14-day free trial and no card.
How does GreetKeeper count what I use?
By the answered call. Very short calls, robocalls and screened calls don't count, and a nine-minute call counts once. Each call past your allowance costs $0.45, $0.35 or $0.25, depending on the plan you're on.
Is annual billing cheaper on GreetKeeper?
Yes. Paying annually gives you two months free on any plan. Either way the monthly plan is the whole price, because there's no setup fee and the number is included.
