Both are AI receptionists. Both work. The difference shows up in the details: flat-rate pricing vs tiered, voice cloning, multilingual depth, and how many industries are pre-tuned out of the box.
Comparison based on public pricing as of 2026-05-10. Updated monthly.
Theo is a great pick if: you want a single flat-rate plan, you only need English, and you don't care about voice cloning or industry-specific tuning. Their onboarding flow is also notably polished.
Asisly is a better pick if: you want pricing that scales with your usage instead of a one-size-fits-all $49/mo, you serve callers in more than English, you want a voice that sounds like you (or your existing front-desk person), or your industry has its own vocabulary (salons, plumbing, dental, legal).

"We used Theo for six months. Switched to Asisly when our second location opened — being able to clone my front-desk lead's voice was the deciding factor. Clients still think it's her."
Multi-location salon owner
"Theo was fine but every other call we got was Spanish-speaking and the AI fell apart. Asisly's auto-detect handled English / Spanish / French without the menu prompt our customers hated."
Restaurant owner, Toronto
"I run a 12-truck plumbing op. Flat $49/mo was costing me overage fees every week. Asisly's $349 Pro tier with 850 credits matches what we actually use — same money, less fiddling."
Plumbing-trade owner, Calgary
