Which AI intake tools work with Clio?
13 of the 17 tools in Client Intake, Lead Response & AI Receptionists name Clio in their own integrations list, and they run from a free plan (Smith.ai, 25 calls a month) and $79/mo (Goodcall) to human-plus-AI services from $164/mo (Abby Connect). Some name Clio Grow and Clio Manage separately, and Tars connects through Zapier or webhooks; each listing records what the vendor's own page says.

What the price covers
Minutes-based plans (Abby Connect, Ruby, Hona, Alert Communications, Posh) count talk time; per-call plans (Smith.ai) and per-caller plans (Goodcall) do not, and NextPhone posts no per-minute or overage fees. The other four tools in the category do not name Clio on their own sites. "Works with" records only what the vendor names, so which Clio product a tool names and whether the link is direct or through Zapier is on each listing with the check date.
