- Marlie lists Basic at $49 a month for 250 minutes, Standard $99 for 500, Pro $199 for 1,000, and Premium $399 for 2,000 on marlie.ai/pricing, checked October 16, 2026.
- Overage is $0.35 a minute on Basic and Standard, $0.30 on Pro, and $0.25 on Premium. Our math: the included minutes cost about $0.20 each on every plan, so overage runs about 25% to 80% more.
- Booking starts at Standard. Basic cannot transfer a call, which is the main reason to skip the cheapest plan.
What it actually does
You forward your business line to a number Marlie gives you. An AI agent answers, takes messages with questions you set, screens out spam and robocalls, and sends a call report by email and text. You paste a website or Google listing and it builds the agent. Marlie says setup takes under 10 minutes.
Each plan adds features. Basic sends text links, one action per call. Standard adds calendar sync, real-time availability, rescheduling, one transfer number, and up to three actions per call. Pro adds checkout links through Shopify and Square, transfer by person or department, product lists, cancellations, custom data fields, and uploaded training documents. Premium adds a dedicated account manager, review calls, multi-location setups arranged by Marlie’s team, and ringing your staff one at a time.
Notification channels, meaning the emails or phones that get call reports, run 2, 4, 8, then unlimited. The pricing page lists a 14-day free trial and cancel anytime. The homepage also mentions a money-back guarantee without giving terms. No setup fee and no annual price are printed.
Who should buy it
Buy it
Buy it if you want AI answering that books into a calendar, your call volume is steady, and you would rather count minutes than calls. Standard at $99 for 500 minutes is the plan most businesses would actually want. Our math: a Basic month with 300 minutes costs $66.50, but Standard only beats Basic once you pass about 393 minutes, so the plan choice is about features, not minutes.
The catch
For comparison, Rosie is also minute-based at $49 for 250 minutes, and Dialzara is another minute-based plan with a lower entry price. Check each page for the booking tier before you pick.
The reason not to buy is Basic. At $49 it takes messages and sends a link, with no transfer and no booking, so a caller who needs a person gets a message instead. Add the $0.35 overage and a first busy month can cost more than Standard. The marketing is also narrow. The homepage leans on locksmith and towing examples, and its claims, such as 1M+ calls handled and $60k a year saved against hiring, have no source on the page. Ask for a trial call on your own questions before paying.
