GreetKeeper vs Arini
Arini sells a dental AI receptionist through a demo, and its site has no pricing page (checked 24 September 2026). GreetKeeper prints every plan: $49 a month for 200 answered calls, $149 for 750 and $349 for 2,000, with booking on each one. You can price your front desk before anyone calls you back.

Why people move off Arini
One vendor's specific wall, not a general complaint about the category.
Practices tend to look for an Arini alternative before they sign, not after. Arini's site sells a wide platform: inbound calls, outbound reactivation campaigns, appointment confirmations and, for large dental groups, Forward Deployed Engineers who build custom modules. That's a lot of scope when your real problem is a phone ringing during a hygiene appointment. With no rate card, a two-chair office can't tell whether the pricing was built for it until the demo.

What GreetKeeper does differently from Arini
- Every GreetKeeper plan is printed: $49 for 200 answered calls, $149 for 750 and $349 for 2,000, each with its overage rate.
- Booking is on every plan, and the assistant reads the patient's name, number and time back before it books.
- A practice with several offices gets a dedicated local number per location, each with its own hours, greeting and calendar, from $299 per location.
- Robocalls and spam calls are dropped before the greeting, and they don't count toward your plan.
- If a transfer isn't picked up, GreetKeeper tries a second number you nominate, so an urgent patient still reaches a person.
- Your practice starts with a 14-day free trial, every feature on, with no card and no setup fee.
What a busy month costs on each meter
The headline price tells you about a quiet month. This is the other one.
Arini quotes after a demo, so ask for three numbers in writing: the monthly fee, what counts as a billable call, and what a month past your allowance costs. GreetKeeper's are printed. A practice taking 600 calls a month sits on Professional at $149 with room to spare, and past 750 each call costs $0.35. Robocalls screened out before the greeting never reach the count.
| Plan | Monthly | Calls included | After that |
|---|---|---|---|
| StarterFor a single location taking calls one line at a time. | $49 | 200 | $0.45 per call |
| ProfessionalBooking, routing and transfers included, not an add-on. | $149 | 750 | $0.35 per call |
| ScaleFor busy phones and longer opening hours. | $349 | 2,000 | $0.25 per call |
Moving off Arini in practice
The technical part is a forwarding change. The rest is the part nobody warns you about.
Moving to GreetKeeper is mostly a forwarding change. Your carrier or phone system forwards to GreetKeeper's local number; the ring count is set where the forwarding is set, and GreetKeeper answers the moment the call arrives. The afternoon goes into your script. Decide which calls are new-patient bookings, which emergencies transfer, and which insurance questions get a callback. Point GreetKeeper at your website for a first draft of hours, services and FAQs, then correct it. Clinical records stay in your practice management system, while the booking lands in Google Calendar or Outlook.
Questions people ask about this comparison
Does Arini publish its prices?
No. Arini's pricing link opens a demo request, and arini.ai/pricing returned a 404 when we checked on 24 September 2026. GreetKeeper's plans start at $49 a month for 200 answered calls, and every overage rate is on the pricing page.
Can GreetKeeper book new-patient appointments for a dental office?
Yes, on every plan. GreetKeeper books into Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook during the call and reads the name, number and time back first. The patient then gets one text with the booking confirmation. Clinical notes stay in your practice system.
What happens when a patient calls with a dental emergency?
GreetKeeper transfers the caller to your team when they ask, or when the assistant is unsure. If that line isn't picked up, it tries a second number you nominate. It also texts the on-call person with the caller's details, and the transcript is waiting afterwards.
