Rosie

Rosie is the best default choice for a small business that needs its phone answered today. It builds its knowledge base by reading your existing website rather than asking you to write scripts, which drops setup from days to under an hour and removes the single biggest reason SMB receptionist deployments stall. It answers calls around the clock, captures caller details, books jobs into Jobber or ServiceTitan, sends follow-up texts and emails you a transcript and summary. It is deliberately narrow — no enterprise routing, no deep IVR trees, no multi-department logic — and that focus is exactly why it works for the plumber or electrician it targets. At $79 a month it is priced where a missed call costs more than the subscription.

The best starting point for most small businesses, almost entirely because of setup speed — training from your website instead of a script builder is the difference between live today and abandoned next month. It is narrow by design, so multi-location or multi-department operations will outgrow it.
