AI Receptionist Comparison Database for Home-Service Businesses
Comparison database7 products
Editorial status: This page separates vendor-documented capabilities from TradeCall Lab analysis. No product receives a hands-on performance ranking until it has completed the same controlled call protocol.
Normalize vendors by billing unit and operating model before comparing headline prices. This table is documentation-verified, not a hands-on performance ranking.
| Vendor | Pricing snapshot | Billing | Human backup | Best reason to investigate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frontdesk AI Receptionist / Business-in-a-Box | $99/mo monthly or $79/mo billed annually | minutes | Not positioned as built-in live human fallback | Broad front-office automation benchmark. |
| OnCrew AI Receptionist for Contractors | $49 / $149 / $349 per month | calls | No built-in human receptionist network stated | Contractor-specific and predictable per-call benchmark. |
| HighLevel Voice AI + AI Employee | Base HighLevel subscription + AI Employee plan; current support docs show Growth $50/location or Unlimited $97/location | platform + AI + telephony | No built-in human receptionist network | Best evaluated as a CRM/automation stack with Voice AI, not a standalone receptionist. |
| Smith.ai AI Receptionist | Free tier plus paid AI receptionist plans; verify live pricing before purchase | calls / plan | Yes | Human-backup benchmark. |
| Rosie AI Receptionist | Professional $49/mo; Scale $149/mo; Growth $299/mo | minutes | No built-in human receptionist network stated | Strong monetizable mid-market benchmark with clear minute tiers and transfer features. |
| Goodcall AI Phone Agent | Starter $79/mo; Growth $129/mo; Scale $249/mo monthly per agent | unique customers | No built-in human receptionist network stated | Useful billing-model benchmark because it charges by unique customer rather than calls/minutes. |
| Dialzara AI Receptionist | Business Lite $29; Pro $99; Plus $199; Elite $349 per month | minutes | No built-in live receptionist network stated | Low-entry-price minute-based and white-label benchmark. |

October 4 evidence refresh
Public vendor documentation was reviewed on October 4, 2026. This supplements the October 3 edition; it does not imply that every inherited feature claim was reverified. No signup or controlled call was performed.
| Vendor | Narrow public evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Rosie | Professional $49/month with 250 minutes; Scale $149 with 1,000; Growth $299 with 2,000. The pricing page separates appointment-link texting from direct booking and plan-specific transfers. | https://heyrosie.com/pricing |
| HighLevel | Starter platform $97/month. AI Employee Growth is $50/month per sub-account and Unlimited $97. The base platform price is distinct from AI and phone usage. | https://www.gohighlevel.com/pricing |
| Frontdesk | Business-in-a-Box is $99/month monthly, with 200 voice minutes. The page advertises a 7-day trial and no-card language; actual checkout and usage were not tested. | https://www.myaifrontdesk.com/pricing |
| OnCrew | Starter $49/month includes 100 calls; Pro $149 includes 400; Multi-Truck $349 includes 1,000. Extra calls are $0.99 each. The page advertises a 14-day no-card trial and appointment request capture. | https://oncrew.ai/pricing |
| Goodcall | Starter is $79/month per agent with 100 unique customers and $0.50 per additional unique customer. Its definition counts an interacting caller phone number during the month rather than a household. | https://www.goodcall.com/pricing |
| Smith.ai | The AI-first page lists a free tier with 25 calls/month and $3 per extra call; a Pro example is $150/month for 75 calls. Human-first has a separate rate card. These are distinct offers, and exception scope must be confirmed. | https://smith.ai/pricing/ai-receptionist |
| Dialzara | Fresh retrieval failed on October 4. The October 3 Phase 4.1 minute-tier snapshot is historical evidence only; this edition does not establish a current price or checkout condition. | https://dialzara.com/pricing |
Frontdesk HubSpot contact/custom-field sync is gradually available and documented as a 15-minute cycle. Outlook availability and event creation are listed; shared and resource-calendar behavior remains unverified. Rosie’s terms require a valid trial payment method.
