Why people leave Moneypenny
Not a general complaint about the category. The specific wall this vendor puts in front of you.
Moneypenny prices its people answering by the minute, and that's where most bills grow. At $2.28 for each minute past the 50-minute plan, a run of long calls reprices the month quickly. The AI side is priced per call, but the plans are small: 25, 50, 100 or 250 calls, with extra calls from $2.49 down to $1.89. A business taking 400 calls a month is past every published AI plan.
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.
On Moneypenny's AI plans, 250 calls cost $435 a month, and each call past that is $1.89 (checked September 2026). On GreetKeeper, 250 calls fit inside Professional's 750 for $149, and 2,000 fit inside Scale for $349. Past the allowance, a GreetKeeper call costs $0.35 on Professional and $0.25 on Scale. Screened calls never count.
What moving off Moneypenny actually involves
Forwarding takes five minutes. Here is the part that takes an afternoon.
Moneypenny gives each client a forwarding number, and GreetKeeper works the same way, so the switch is a forwarding change at your carrier. Point your line at GreetKeeper's dedicated local number instead. The ring count is set where the forwarding is set, and GreetKeeper answers the moment the call arrives. Moneypenny asks for 30 days' notice to cancel, so send your overflow to GreetKeeper while the notice runs, then move the main line.
