Price your peak month: worked example

Illustrative only: a shop that gets 300 calls in July from about 250 different phone numbers. Using published plan terms:

OnCrew Starter: $49 includes 100 calls, plus 200 × $0.99 = $198 overage → about $247.
Goodcall Growth: $129 covers up to 500 unique customers → $129.
Smith.ai Pro: $150 includes 75 calls, plus 225 × $2.00 = $450 → about $600 (includes live human backup).

Per-minute plans (Rosie, Dialzara, Abby Connect) depend on your average call length, so pull that from your phone system first. Confirm current rates with each vendor; plans change.

HVAC-specific things to check

Can it book maintenance-agreement visits differently from repair calls?
Does it recognize no-heat/no-cool emergencies and transfer to on-call?
Does it book into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber? See the ServiceTitan guide.
What happens when you exceed your plan in a heat wave: overage, throttling or upgrade?

FAQ

How much does an AI receptionist cost for an HVAC company?

Entry plans we verified on vendor pricing pages run from Upfirst $24.95/mo and Dialzara $29/mo to Rosie and OnCrew at $49/mo and Goodcall at $79/mo (checked 2026-10-13/14). Contractor-focused tools that book into ServiceTitan cost more or are sales-quoted: Sameday is listed from $449/mo by a third-party source (unverified), and Avoca AI doesn't publish pricing.

Why does HVAC season matter for AI receptionist pricing?

Heat waves and cold snaps push call volume up fast. On per-call or per-minute plans, overage in your busiest month can cost more than the base plan, so price your peak month, not your average month.

Is per-caller billing good for HVAC?

It can be when customers call back several times about the same no-heat or no-cool job. Goodcall counts each phone number once a month, and spam and wrong numbers don't count (per its pricing page, checked 2026-10-14).
