Why choose Wattle for reception

Monthly pricing for a small-business workflow

Wattle’s plans publish AUD pricing and included minutes, starting at A$99 plus GST. That gives smaller teams a visible plan to assess against their call pattern.

Reception and follow-up in the same product

Wattle brings call answering, message capture, staff handoffs, and customer conversation history together for everyday front-desk work.

Booking on a clearly named tier

Pro and Max include appointment booking; the plan details identify the supported booking connection and separately scoped custom integrations.

Who each platform may suit

Synthflow may suit teams that want a visual call-flow builder and a sales-scoped deployment with onboarding, integration, and launch support. Wattle may suit an Australian business that wants a packaged receptionist workflow with published AUD plans. Compare current Synthflow offers carefully because its public pricing materials differ by page and account context.

Pricing notes

  • Starter A$99/month, Pro A$499/month, Max A$999/month, plus GST. Australian mobile numbers, outbound calling, and transfers are charged separately from the plan. Starter: 200 minutes; Pro: 1,000 minutes; Max: 4,000 minutes monthly; included minutes are the plan limit.
  • Synthflow’s dedicated Enterprise page says contracts start at $30,000 annually and scopes final pricing to use case, capacity, telephony, integrations, security, and launch support. The page text does not label the currency.
  • Synthflow billing docs describe new plans as sales-led and say active accounts may have legacy terms. Its official BPO page still displays self-serve tiers, including $29 and $450 monthly plans. Treat published figures as page-specific, not a universal minimum; ask sales for a current quote and inclusions.
