Key takeaways
  • Limova is a generalist. Its homepage leads with content and visual generation, not telephony. Call answering is handled by one agent among several.
  • Entry pricing starts lower, around €69.90 per month excluding tax, with a higher tier near €119.90. A specialised receptionist costs more and does one thing properly.
  • The real question is not which is better, it is whether you need a suite of AI agents or a phone line that never goes to voicemail.
  • Both are French and GDPR-compliant, so data residency is not the deciding factor here.

What Limova actually is

Limova builds autonomous AI agents that automate business tasks: LinkedIn prospecting, SEO content, social media management, chat support. It is a capable toolkit for marketing and sales teams that want to hand repetitive work to software.

Phone answering exists in that lineup, but it sits alongside everything else. That is not a flaw, it is a product choice: breadth over depth. It matters only if the phone is where you lose money.
