What is Magic Agent? How much does the plumber / law-firm AI receptionist cost?
AnswerMagic Agent (Thareja, https://thareja.ai) sells Preeya, an AI receptionist for plumbers, lawyers, and rehab clinics. Buyers are not buying a chat widget. They are buying the after-hours call that actually gets picked up. Public tiers: chat $29, SMS $99, phone Pro $150 (~150 calls), collections $299, Front Office $499, Everything $999. They write ~20% off annual, 14-day trial, no per-call overage. Pricing: https://www.thareja.ai/pricing . Category cut: AI receptionist compare. Then run a pack in Market—research pack.
What they sell
The site also lists receptionist, collections, meeting notes, short video, and time tracking. The phone tier is the SKU in this category. Public email on the site is [email protected].
When the homepage sells several jobs at once, ads that shout phone pickup and a close on the $29 chat plan will not match what the buyer thought they bought.
How it compares on public prices
Phone Pro is an AI receptionist billed monthly. Ruby is live humans by the minute; Smith.ai live is per call. Not the same SKU. Category cut: AI receptionist compare.

Short answers
- Magic Agent is much cheaper than Ruby. Same product?
- No. Ruby is live 24/7 billed by the minute. Magic Agent’s public page is an AI phone tier. On paper it is an order of magnitude cheaper. It has no North American live backup, and no legal CRM written onto the price page the way Smith.ai does.
- Will the $29 chat plan and the $150 phone plan steal the same deal?
- They collide. When the homepage sells several jobs at once, ads that shout phone pickup and a close on chat will not match what the buyer thought they bought.
- Does this page call them out for having no sales?
- No. It only writes the public product, public prices, and public user voice.
