2026 COMPARISON
AI voice agents and receptionists actually sold here, compared on what each vendor publishes: pricing, languages, hosting, certification, integrations. Zenicall is one of them, and we say where the others do better.
As of October 17, 2026, at least twelve AI receptionists or voice agents target Quebec clinics: Zenicall, Agent IA Vocal, Allô Clinique, AlloMia (acquired by Medfar on October 14), Milya, Planevia, SmileDial, Foragr.ai’s VeronIQ, VocalOps, Voxify, Voxira and Walaw. What sets them apart is less the voice technology than five things: genuine Quebec French, transparency about hosting and subprocessors, which clinic software they actually work with, Santé Québec certification, and whether prices are published at all.

Price is the easiest thing to compare and rarely the deciding one. These weigh more on the day-to-day result.
An assistant that speaks correct but non-Quebec French puts patients at a distance straight away. Vocabulary, rhythm and phrasing matter as much as accent. No spec sheet proves it: listen before you sign, with us as with anyone. A public demo line helps a lot.
A clinic handles health information. Where data lives, which subprocessors handle the voice, and under which law, is your responsibility. “Hosted in Canada” says nothing about subprocessors, which is why a published list matters. And PHIPA is an Ontario statute: it says nothing about Law 25.
Santé Québec’s certification office keeps a public registry of certified technology products. Its TGV certification covers security, protection of personal and health information, performance and technology. Voxira and Foragr.ai are both listed as of October 2026.
A booking that ends up in an inbox or a separate calendar gains you little. Ask whether the appointment goes into your practice software or EMR, whether each booking is checked, and what happens when a slot can’t be booked.
An unpublished price puts a quote between you and knowing whether it fits your budget. A US-dollar price exposes you to the exchange rate. Look at what’s included too: minutes, calls, overage, setup.
A tool designed for ten industries at once knows your protocols less well than one built for healthcare. Then again, a narrowly specialized tool can be rigid if your clinic doesn’t fit its mould.
“Not published” means the vendor does not make the information public as of the verification date. The table scrolls sideways; the first column stays in view.

A comparison published by a market player is only worth reading if it owns its blind spots. Here are ours, as the data above shows them.
Milya advertises $199 a month with unlimited calls and minutes. Allô Clinique includes 600 minutes in its $299 Solo plan, while 600 minutes cost CAD $610 with us (Advanced plan). Planevia charges $0.49 a minute with no fixed fee. If price decides it, ask them, then compare hosting and subprocessors.
Both appear in Santé Québec’s registry of certified technology products (October 2026 list). Zenicall does not. If your organization requires that certification, it settles the question in their favour.
Since the October 14, 2026 acquisition, the “Téléphoniste IA” is part of MYLE, and also works with Plexia and Medgen. For a MYLE clinic, a tool supplied by its own EMR vendor is a serious argument.
Medesync, Med Access, then PS Suite, each announced on a specific date on its blog. We also configure a custom integration with TELUS Health, but their public track record is longer than ours.
Milya offers 30 days with no card, Planevia and Voxify (Quebec page) 14 days with no card, Allô Clinique 14 days on the subscription. We don’t offer a free trial: we refund the first month if you’re not satisfied within 30 days, but the setup fee still applies.
Allô Clinique, Milya and Voxify publish a number anyone can call to hear their agent. We don’t publish one: you have to ask. On the voice criterion, they make your life easier.
Allô Clinique lists its subprocessors and each one’s country; Voxify publishes its list too. We describe our practices and data processing agreements, but not yet the named list. That is transparency we don’t yet offer publicly.
Walaw presents itself as an official partner of the AQP (physiotherapists), AQEPP and the Association des podiatres du Québec. That is sector endorsement we don’t have, and for clinics in those fields it carries more weight than any pitch.
Six Canadian systems named, including Carestack, CS Dental and Curve, which we don’t list. If your clinic uses one, ask us: integration is configured during onboarding, case by case.
Named AWS region, stated encryption, and nineteen clinic types presented. Few vendors publish that level of detail.

Medfar’s Téléphoniste IA (AlloMia) is the first option to look at, since it comes from your EMR vendor. Its price isn’t published, so ask. We have summarized what the acquisition changes and the other options.
AlloMia acquired by Medfar: what changes and the alternatives
Voxira and Foragr.ai are in the certified product registry as of October 2026. Then check what is actually available: Foragr.ai presents its integrations as under evaluation.
Voxira publicly announces Medesync, Med Access and PS Suite. We also configure a custom TELUS Health integration during onboarding; compare the two.
Look at Milya (unlimited for $199), Planevia ($0.49 a minute) and Allô Clinique’s Solo plan (600 minutes for $299). Then ask where the data lives and which subprocessors handle the voice.
Walaw works with the AQP, AQEPP and the Association des podiatres du Québec. Its pricing isn’t public, so you will need a demo.
SmileDial names them publicly. Do ask about Quebec French, though: their site doesn’t mention it.
Multidisciplinary clinic, pharmacy, dental or NP clinic: that is what Zenicall was built for. Canadian-dollar pricing, integration configured during onboarding. Listen to the assistant and judge.

The one criterion no table can compare is the voice. Ask to hear the assistant answer in Quebec French, from us and from the others.
