Solv Alternatives for Medical Practices: When to Choose Each
By MedReception AI, physician-built by Paul Toomey, MDPublished
The short answer
MedReception AI is a physician-built AI receptionist for medical and dental practices that answers calls 24/7 and books appointments, and it is the main alternative to Solv for a practice that needs phone coverage more than a patient marketplace. Solv fits urgent care and on-demand care groups that want online booking, intake, payments and the Maya AI voice agent together. A practice that mainly wants every call answered, with a BAA included and HIPAA compliance verified by Compliancy Group, can compare MedReception AI plans, which start at $299 per month for 500 minutes. The right choice depends on whether the practice needs a full patient access platform or a dedicated receptionist.
- Solv combines online booking, intake, payments and a voice agent for on-demand care.
- MedReception AI focuses on answering calls 24/7 and booking appointments.
- MedReception AI includes a BAA and publishes plan prices.
- Solv prices per location by quote, with no public prices.
What Solv is and who it fits
Solv is a patient booking marketplace and patient access platform that includes the Maya AI voice agent. Solv's provider site describes a platform for on-demand care that combines online booking, intake, payments, messaging and a voice agent. Urgent care groups and on-demand care providers are the clearest fit for that combination.
Solv's homepage is a consumer site where patients search for and book same-day care. Patient discovery on the Solv website and app is part of what the platform offers providers. A practice weighing Solv should decide whether that marketplace visibility matters as much as phone handling.
Solv's provider pages also list health systems, primary care and pediatrics under who the platform helps. A practice wanting one vendor for booking, intake and payments will find that scope relevant, and a practice wanting only a receptionist may find it broader than needed.
What MedReception AI does differently
MedReception AI is an AI receptionist built by a general surgeon, Paul Toomey, MD, Co-Founder and CEO. MedReception AI answers calls 24/7 and books appointments, with separate agents for daytime answering, after-hours calls, voicemail, and scheduling and recalls.
Katie handles daytime answering, Annie covers after-hours, Victoria manages voicemail, and Sallie runs scheduling and recalls. Each agent has one job, so the practice can see which part of the phone workflow each one covers, and setup typically takes one week from signup to launch.
MedReception AI handles unlimited simultaneous calls. Practices miss about 30 to 50 percent of calls, and answering every caller at once targets that gap directly. A busy front desk no longer has to choose which ringing line to pick up first.
Phone coverage and EHR booking compared
Solv's Maya page says Maya answers patient calls 24/7 and can book visits, answer common questions, collect payments and bring in staff when needed. MedReception AI also answers 24/7 and books appointments, so both options cover the phone, and the difference lies in scope and integrations.
Solv's Maya page lists EHR integrations including athenahealth, Epic, eClinicalWorks and Experity. MedReception AI's live integrations include athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, ModMed, Tebra, Nextech and SimplePractice, among others listed on the site. Solv's Maya page also says Maya can book a visit directly into the practice's EHR while the patient is still on the phone.
For a system outside the live list, other systems are available through secure workflow automation. A practice should confirm its own EHR with each vendor before choosing, because the integration list is often the deciding factor between two otherwise similar options.
Languages and patient communication
MedReception AI speaks 59 languages and books end to end in English, Spanish and Korean. Solv's Maya page says Maya speaks with patients in over 80 languages. A practice should match the language list to its own patient population.
Solv's provider site also lists two-way chat, text-to-pay, and automated and broadcast messaging campaigns among its patient texting tools. Practices wanting those texting tools in the same platform may prefer Solv, since that scope goes beyond answering the phone.
MedReception AI centers on the phone. A practice whose patients mostly call, especially in Spanish or Korean, can see which languages book end to end before signing. Callers in the other supported languages can still be spoken with, so the practice should ask which ones it needs.
HIPAA, BAA and pricing transparency
MedReception AI has HIPAA compliance verified by Compliancy Group and includes a BAA. Solv states HIPAA-compliant infrastructure for Maya, and the provider pages reviewed do not mention a BAA. Practices should ask each vendor for a signed BAA before sharing patient information.
Solv's pricing page lists no prices and says all Solv packages are priced per location, not per user, with a custom proposal and annual, quarterly or monthly payment terms. A practice comparing costs should request a quote from Solv for each location it operates.
MedReception AI publishes its prices. Studio is $299 per month for 500 minutes, Essential is $495 per month, Professional is $995 per month for 1,000 minutes, and Elite is $1,495 per month for 2,000 minutes. Published prices let a practice budget before any sales call.
How to choose between the two
A practice should choose Solv when it wants a patient booking marketplace with intake, payments and messaging in one platform. A practice should choose MedReception AI when the goal is a physician-built receptionist that answers every call, with setup typically taking one week from signup to launch.
Dental practices are served by MedReception AI, while veterinary practices are not. Practices should list their must-have features, such as texting campaigns or after-hours coverage, before comparing vendors, then check each vendor's public pages for those items.
After-hours coverage and voicemail are included on Professional and Elite, and each is a $99 per month add-on on Essential. On Studio, EHR integration is an add-on at $1,500 one time plus $99 per month. A practice should add those items to its comparison.
