What is the difference between a call center and an answering service?

The main differences between a call center and an answering service are:

• Scope – Call centers handle large call volumes and a wide range of inbound and outbound calls. Answering services focus specifically on inbound call coverage.
• Capabilities – Call centers have extensive infrastructure to route calls, provide technical support, and conduct surveys or telemarketing. Answering services specialize in call answering, message taking, and appointment booking.
• Staffing – Call centers maintain large in-house staff. Answering services contract with individual client companies.
• Cost – Call centers have high fixed costs for labor, facilities, and technology. Answering services are a flexible, pay-as-you-go service.
• Customization – Answering services are customized to each client’s preferences. Call centers follow standardized processes.
• Data – Call centers gather customer data for the company. Answering services provide call data to the client.
• Hours – Call centers operate 24/7. Answering services match client hours but offer after-hours options.

In summary, call centers are optimized for high volume, scalable inbound/outbound calling at a higher cost point. Answering services offer flexible, customized live answering for inbound calls at an affordable rate for most small businesses.
