CallBotScore

Independent, dated AI receptionist comparison for trades. Every price linked to its source.

An AI receptionist answers your business line when you can't: on a job, after hours, or when three calls come in at once. We compare 12 of them on what matters to a plumbing, HVAC, electrical or roofing shop: what it costs at your call volume, what happens when you go over, and whether it actually books the job into the software you already use.

Every figure comes from the vendor's own page, links to it, and shows the date we checked it. Where a vendor doesn't publish something, we say so. No scores yet; we're running test calls first.

How to read this

  • Starting price is the cheapest listed monthly plan. Entry plans don't always include booking or the integrations shown; open the vendor page to see every plan.
  • "Not published" means the vendor doesn't list it publicly. "Unknown" means we couldn't confirm it on a public page. Neither means the feature is missing.
  • Billing model matters as much as price: minute bundles get expensive with long calls, per-caller billing with lots of one-off callers, per-call billing with lots of short calls.
  • "Has free trial or free plan" only counts vendors whose own page says "free trial" or "free plan". Free credit or a free demo isn't counted.
  • Click a column header to sort. Each row links to its source and shows the date checked.
