Which billing model fits you?

Goodcall counts each phone number once a month. If a customer calls five times about the same job, that's one customer. That suits property managers, repeat service accounts and busy shops with regulars.

Rosie sells minute bundles. Short calls stretch them; long, chatty calls burn through them. The jump from $49 to $149 is where booking and transfers come in.

My AI Front Desk has one self-serve plan with minutes, texts and chat conversations included, and usage credits for anything over. It suits a business that wants calls and texts handled together.
