The math is simple.
Most service businesses miss 2–5 calls a week. Each missed call is a potential job. Here's what that costs you — and why $99/month pays for itself with just one recovered job.
2 missed calls/week at $3,000/job. 80% won't leave a voicemail — they call your competitor.
$99/month × 12. No hidden fees, no per-minute overage, no long-term contract.
One $3,000 job covers 30 months of service. You only need to win back 1 job per year to break even.
The break-even point
If your average job is $2,000, you need to recover less than 1 job per year to break even. Everything after that is pure profit.
Calculate your ROI.
Plug in your numbers. Most businesses see a 20–100x return in the first year.

Smith.ai and Ruby are good products. But they charge 2–7x more, bill by the minute, and don't text you a recap after every call. We do all that for $99/month flat.
