Jobix.AI — self-serve AI voice agents billed by the hour in US dollars
Jobix.AI is a Singapore-registered platform that sells AI voice agents to South African businesses online, with no local reseller in between. You build an AI receptionist or calling agent yourself, top up a prepaid wallet in US dollars, and talk-time is deducted at US$9.99 an hour on the entry rate, dropping to US$7.99 on the largest package. Its South Africa pages offer English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa and Sesotho voices on the same agent.
Key facts
| Who they are | Jobix.AI PTE. LTD., incorporated in Singapore (registration 202508805H) with its registered office in The Central, Eu Tong Sen Street. The company gives 2024 as its founding year and lists itself as a member of the Philippines IT and business process association, IBPAP. South African customers contract with the Singapore company directly. |
| What it does | AI voice agents for inbound and outbound calls, including an AI receptionist that answers around the clock, books into Google Calendar or Outlook, forwards urgent calls to a mobile and takes messages for the rest, with warm transfer to a person. The same platform runs WhatsApp, SMS, email and web chat agents, workflows and dashboards. A built-in assistant called Ellie drafts the agent and its script, and nothing goes live until a person approves it. |
| Languages | The South Africa pages list English with a South African accent, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa and Sesotho, with the agent detecting the caller’s language and switching mid-call. The platform claims 29+ languages on its SA pages and 50+ elsewhere. |
| Phone lines | Phone lines are billed at cost on top of the hourly voice rate. Bringing your own SIP trunk is offered on the Scale package and for enterprise deals, which matters if you want the agent on a number from your current South African provider. |
| Data and POPIA | Says calls open with a POPIA-aligned consent, AI disclosure and recording notice, and offers PAIA export tooling. Its security page lets customers choose a US, EU or ZA region for storage; the privacy policy (17 July 2026) adds that a dedicated regional deployment needs a separate written addendum and that AI model processing stays in the locations it discloses unless agreed otherwise. |
| Support | Email ([email protected]) and live chat on weekdays from 9am to 5pm Pacific Time, which falls in the South African evening and night. No support telephone number is published. Larger packages add a 4-hour chat response (Growth) or a dedicated success manager (Scale). |
| ICASA licence | None published. Jobix.AI is an offshore software platform rather than a South African network operator, so the line your agent answers on comes from a telephony partner or your own SIP trunk. |
| Pricing | Published in US dollars. Voice is US$9.99 an hour on Starter, US$8.99 on Growth and US$7.99 on Scale, covering speech recognition, the voice, the AI model and recording; phone lines are extra at cost. Wallet packages are one-time top-ups: Starter US$99, Growth US$499, Scale US$1,499, and new accounts get US$10 in free credits. The SA pages quote “from R180/hr”, a conversion of the dollar rate, so the rand cost moves with the exchange rate. No monthly fee, top-ups last 12 months, and the terms say amounts are non-refundable except where the law requires. |

Pay-as-you-talk from a dollar wallet, with no local partner to call
Jobix.AI is the do-it-yourself end of the AI receptionist market. There is no monthly plan: you load a wallet in US dollars and each hour of conversation is deducted at a published rate, so a quiet month costs little and nothing is locked in beyond the top-up itself. On Jobix’s own worked figure, 90 hours of talk-time comes to US$899.10 on the Starter rate before phone-line costs. Two things change the sums for a South African buyer. First, the bill is in dollars, so the “R180 an hour” on its SA pages is an estimate that rises when the rand weakens, and card top-ups may carry a foreign-transaction fee from your bank. Second, wallet funds are non-refundable under its terms, so top up for the calls you expect rather than in advance. The local touches are software-led: SA accents and languages, a POPIA consent script and a ZA storage option. Help, though, comes by chat and email during US Pacific business hours, so set the agent up and test it well before you rely on it after hours.
Who Jobix.AI is a fit for
- Businesses comfortable building and testing their own AI agent, with Ellie drafting the script
- Uneven or seasonal call volumes, where paying by the hour beats a fixed monthly plan
- Agencies and call centres that want to rebrand the platform as their own (it is built white-label first)

Voice is billed in US dollars at US$9.99 an hour on Starter, US$8.99 on Growth and US$7.99 on Scale (sampled 26 October 2026), plus phone-line costs at cost. Its SA pages put this at about R180 an hour, but that is a currency conversion, so the rand price changes with the exchange rate.

Does Jobix.AI speak Afrikaans and isiZulu?
Its South Africa pages say the agent speaks English with a South African accent, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa and Sesotho, detects which one the caller uses and can switch mid-call. Use the free credits to test a call in the languages your customers speak before topping up.
Is there a free trial or a contract?
New accounts get US$10 in free credits with no card needed. There is no contract or monthly fee, and top-ups stay valid for 12 months. The terms say wallet amounts are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise.
Can I keep my existing business number?
Phone lines are billed at cost on top of the voice rate, and bringing your own SIP trunk is offered on the Scale package and for enterprise deals. Ask Jobix.AI, or your current provider, how calls to your existing number would be routed to the agent before you build it.
Where does Jobix.AI keep call data?
Its security page offers US, EU or ZA regions for storage and processing. The privacy policy says a dedicated regional deployment is set up by a separate written addendum and that AI model processing can still take place in the locations it discloses, so ask for the addendum in writing if recordings must stay in South Africa.
How do I get support from Jobix.AI?
By email at [email protected] or live chat, weekdays 9am to 5pm Pacific Time, which is evening and night in South Africa. No support phone number is published. The Growth package adds a 4-hour chat response and Scale adds a dedicated success manager.
