Newo.ai alternative: an AI receptionist with monthly plans per location

Newo describes itself as a ready-to-deploy Voice AI: a platform that lets call centers and local businesses put an AI agent on their phones, texts and chat and writes bookings into their scheduling, CRM or practice software. It names restaurants, dental practices, home services and hospitality among its industries. The facts about Newo on this page come from its own site, read on 2 October 2026.

Solwees is an AI receptionist and booking software for service businesses. It answers phone calls, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Messenger, website chat and email around the clock, books appointments and reservations into the booking system or CRM the business already uses, sends reminders, and hands the conversation to a person when it should.

Which one to choose

Choose Solwees if

  • Your booking system is Booksy, Fresha or OpenTable, which the Newo integrations page does not list.
  • You want a monthly plan per location that counts active clients in chats and minutes on calls, not units.
  • You want the assistant in chats from €99 a month per location.

Choose Newo.ai if

  • You run a dental practice on Dentrix, Open Dental or Eaglesoft, or a hotel on Oracle Opera.
  • You want to start with no monthly fee and pay per conversation.
  • You are a call center, or an agency that wants to resell the product under its own brand.

What to compare before you choose

AI receptionists look alike in a demo. They differ in three things that decide the result for a business that works by appointment.

Which channels the assistant answers

List where your clients reach you: phone, WhatsApp, Instagram, website chat. A product that answers only calls leaves the messages to your staff. Solwees answers calls and chats with one assistant and keeps them in one inbox.

Where the booking ends up

Ask whether the booking is written into the booking system you use, or reaches staff as a message to enter by hand. Check that your system is named in the vendor’s list of integrations.

What the bill depends on

Per minute, per call, per location or a monthly plan: count the cost of your busiest month. Solwees charges per location per month; phone minutes come with the Studio plan or in packs that do not expire.

What Solwees does

One assistant on calls and in chats

Solwees answers phone calls, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Messenger, website chat and email around the clock, in 50+ languages. Every conversation lands in one inbox that the team opens on the web or in the mobile app.

  • Answers from the knowledge base you fill in: prices, services, terms
  • Hands the conversation to a person when the client asks for one or your rules require it
  • Phone answering comes with the Studio plan, or with a pack of minutes on Solo

Bookings go into the system you already use

The assistant books appointments and reservations into your booking system and sends reminders. Solwees works on top of the system you have and does not replace it. A business without a supported system can take bookings into the calendar of Solwees itself.

  • Salons: Altegio, Booksy, Fresha, Treatwell, Bokadirekt, Bookio, Wix Bookings
  • Clinics: Altegio, Doctra, Tooki. Restaurants: SevenRooms, OpenTable, CoverManager and other systems through Mozrest
  • Chats are written into Bitrix24; other systems are connected on request

Where Newo.ai is the better choice

Newo is the better choice for a dental or orthodontic practice, since it lists Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft and other practice systems, for a hotel on Oracle Opera, and for a call center. It lets you start with no monthly fee and pay per unit, states ISO/IEC 27001 certification and HIPAA with a BAA, and has a white-label programme for agencies.

Where Solwees is the better choice

Solwees is the better choice for a salon on Booksy or Fresha and for a restaurant on OpenTable: Solwees works with these systems, and the Newo integrations page does not list them. Solwees plans are monthly per location and count active clients, and the assistant holds conversations in 50+ languages.

Moving from Newo.ai to Solwees

  1. Start the free trial

    7 days, no card. The whole platform is open, with up to 100 active clients and 20 call minutes.

  2. Connect your booking system

    Choose it in the list of integrations. From then on the assistant books into the system your team already works in.

  3. Connect the channels

    WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Messenger, website chat and email, plus a phone number if the assistant should answer calls. Fill the knowledge base with your services, prices and rules.

  4. Test on real conversations, then switch

    Try the assistant on one channel or one location first. Move the rest when you are satisfied, and cancel what you no longer need.
