Cost comparisonDo the math
What does a connected minute actually cost you? An hour of payroll isn't an hour of conversation — most of a caller's hour goes to dialing, no-answers, and wrap-up, not to talking with your leads.

Set your dialing volume and connect rate. Hubbly prices on connected minutes — the conversations that actually happen — not the hours a person spends dialing to reach them.

Book a demoYour closer never dials again — Hubbly handles the grind and hands off live conversations.
Human comparison uses a fully loaded setter cost of $4,000/month producing 1,260 connected minutes — $3.17 per connected minute — and rounds up to whole setters. Hubbly cost uses the published plan that covers your volume; dials, rings, and voicemails are not billed.
The objectionYour closers should close. Not dial.
A skilled human converts better on a live conversation than any system — and that's exactly the point. Hubbly Voice handles the minutes that don't need your best people: answering the inbound lead at 9pm, working back through the list, qualifying, scheduling. The moment a conversation is worth a closer, it's warm-transferred to one.
You're not replacing your team's best minutes. You're deleting the wasted ones.
What the math missesThe math above doesn't count the leads you're losing.
The comparison assumes your team reaches every lead. They don't — nobody's does. Leads that come in after hours, on weekends, or while every line is busy go cold before anyone calls back. Hubbly Voice answers all of them, immediately, at once.
That revenue isn't in the calculator, and it's usually bigger than the payroll savings.
Common questionsReading the comparison.
- Why does Hubbly Voice price on connected minutes instead of hours?
- Because a paid hour is mostly dialing, no-answers, voicemails, and wrap-up — only a fraction becomes real talk time. Hubbly Voice bills only connected minutes, so you pay for the conversations that actually happen rather than the hours spent trying to start them. The calculator above turns your dialing volume and connect rate into connected minutes so the comparison is like for like.
- Is Hubbly Voice cheaper than a human calling team?
- It depends on your dialing volume and connect rate, which the calculator above converts into connected minutes and prices for you. One setter produces about 1,260 connected minutes a month at $3.17 per minute, while Hubbly Voice bills a flat monthly plan with included minutes, then $0.45 to $0.32 per additional connected minute — lower on the larger plans.
- What does the cost comparison leave out?
- The leads a team never reaches. The comparison assumes every lead gets called, but inquiries arriving after hours, on weekends, or while every line is busy go cold first. That recovered revenue sits outside the calculator and is often larger than the difference in running cost.
