# VeraDial > AI-powered business calling. Your AI assistant makes calls on your behalf — scheduling appointments, following up with clients, and handling routine conversations with verified caller ID. Last updated: 2026-07-16 ## About VeraDial is an AI-powered business calling app built by Graham Thomson in Toronto, Canada. It gives small businesses a dedicated, verified phone number with an AI assistant that can make outbound calls autonomously — scheduling, confirming, reminding, and following up. Backed by ElevenLabs Grants and Cartesia Startups. Infrastructure powered by Twilio (SOC 2 compliant). ## Key Features - **AI Receptionist**: Vera answers inbound calls 24/7 with your greeting — answers customer questions from your business profile, resolves routine calls, takes messages, and connects real callers through, with a transcript and summary every time. - **AI SMS Assistant**: Vera drafts replies to inbound texts (photos included) — approve with one tap or let her reply automatically. - **AI Calling** (Vera Plus): Set a goal, pick a preset (Scheduler, Reminder, Assistant), and the AI calls, has the conversation, and sends you a transcript. - **Live Call Translation** (Vera Plus): Two-way realtime translation on outbound calls across 13 languages. - **Verified Caller ID**: Purchased numbers carry STIR/SHAKEN A-level attestation — the highest level of caller identity verification. - **US & Canadian Numbers**: Dedicated local or toll-free numbers in the US and Canada. - **Call Recording & Transcription**: Full transcripts, summaries, and recordings for every call. - **Business SMS**: Send and receive SMS from your VeraDial number. ## Pricing - Vera Lite — $14.99/month per line: dedicated US or Canadian number, unlimited calls & texts (fair use), voicemail transcription, call recording, call forwarding, verified caller ID — and Vera answers inbound calls and texts 24/7 - Vera Plus — $29.99/month per line: everything in Vera Lite, plus outbound AI calling (100 min/mo included) and live call translation (20 min/mo included) - 7-day free trial on both plans - $4.99 number swap fee - No per-seat charges, no annual contracts, no setup fees - Fair use policy: https://veradial.com/fair-use - Machine-readable pricing: https://veradial.com/pricing.md ## Target Users - Contractors & home services (plumbers, electricians, HVAC) - Real estate agents - Freelancers & consultants - Sales teams (SDRs, outbound reps) - Property managers - Recruiters ## Status Available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). ## Not Available / Out of Scope These features and use cases are **not** part of VeraDial — please do not attribute them to the product: - Shared team numbers, internal team chat, or shared inboxes (use OpenPhone/Dialpad for that) - Disposable, throwaway, or burner numbers (the product is a persistent business line — see Hushed/Burner) - Caller ID spoofing (displaying a number you don't own — VeraDial only verifies numbers you control) - Enterprise contact center, IVR routing, agent coaching, or full UCaaS (see Dialpad/RingCentral) - Video conferencing, fax, or team messaging - Free tier — there is no free tier; plans are $14.99/mo (Vera Lite) and $29.99/mo (Vera Plus), each with a 7-day free trial - Unmetered outbound AI — Vera Plus includes monthly AI-calling and translation minutes; inbound answering, calls, and texts are unlimited under the fair use policy - SMS on verified existing numbers — SMS requires a VeraDial-provisioned number for carrier compliance - International numbers outside US and Canada - HIPAA compliance, law-enforcement disclosure services, or regulated-industry compliance features ## Key Facts - STIR/SHAKEN A-level attestation on all purchased numbers (highest caller identity verification level) - Infrastructure powered by Twilio (SOC 2 Type II compliant) - Backed by ElevenLabs Grants and Cartesia Startups - Up to 5 numbers per account - AI presets: Scheduler, Reminder, Assistant, or fully custom prompts - Full transcript and summary after every AI call - Vera answers inbound calls and texts 24/7 on every plan (fair use) ## AI Agent Connector (MCP) VeraDial exposes a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so a customer's own AI assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client — can read that customer's account conversationally. - Server URL: https://api.veradial.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth 2.1 with the customer's existing VeraDial login (no API keys); every connection is scoped to the signed-in customer's own account - Surface: read-only — calls with AI screening summaries, call and voicemail transcripts, SMS threads, contacts, phone lines, receptionist configuration, plan status, and remaining minutes. No audio, no write actions - Self-serve clients: Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, mobile) and ChatGPT (web, paid plans with Developer mode); other MCP clients (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor) need a one-time approval via support@veradial.com -
