First.
Your price list, however you have it. A photo of a sheet is fine.
The offer
The phone you already have, answered.
Keep your number. No app to run your business from. It quotes from the price book you wrote.
Who this is for
A receptionist. Not a $49 answering add-on.
Owner-operator plumber, roofer or electrician. 1–4 vans. The cell is the business line. The calendar is Google Calendar, a paper book, or a sheet. Not Jobber, not Housecall Pro, not ServiceTitan.
If you already open Jobber or Powered Now every morning, use theirs. If you wanted a note at 2am and nothing else, buy the message pack. This is not that.

The call you never knew you missed.
The phone rings while you're under a sink. Nobody picks up, so the caller hangs up and dials the next company on the list. No voicemail that helps. No second chance.
Illustrative: one missed booking a week, at a $400 ticket, is $20,800 a year walking to a competitor. Inputs: one missed booking a week × a $400 ticket × 52 weeks.
| Without it | With it |
|---|---|
| The phone rings while you're under a sink. | Answers the line you already have. |
| A number invented on the spot, or a promise to call back. | It quotes from the price book you wrote. We supply it no prices of our own. The figures are yours. |
| A voicemail you return tomorrow. | The job is in the calendar before the caller hangs up, and we only call it booked once it is. |
| The call rings out and you never knew. | If we cannot take the call, it rings the number that was configured to receive it. |
How it arrives
Start in minutes. About ninety of yours in the first week.
Start in minutes: your price list, however you have it, and your calendar. You listen to it answer and change what you do not like, and you forward the line when you are ready. About 90 minutes of your time in the first week. The clock does not start when you read this page.
Then.
You listen to it answer, and change what you do not like.
When you are ready.
You forward the line. Not before.
What it costs
What we have set, and what we have not.
US dollars, in both the US and the UK.
Starter
$399per month
Overage
$0.35per overage minute
Custom Action
$150
A Custom Action is $150: bespoke work we build for you, agreed before anything is built. Features in your plan are never sold as one.
Up to 20 prices, one calendar, one CRM: you set it up yourself and the agent is answering in minutes. Nothing is charged until you pick a plan.
Ruby still lists $395 a month for 100 receptionist minutes. Source: ruby.com/plans-and-pricing/, 2026-09-01. That is the minutes-per-dollar gap. The dated table is on the home page.
| Capability | Starter | Growth | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Answers, quotes, books into your calendar, forwards | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Alerts to you by text and email | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Confirmation texts to your customers | No | Yes | Yes |
| Updates your CRM | One CRM | One CRM | More than one |
| Voice control: call in with a PIN to change settings | No | Yes | Yes |
Emergency handling is in every plan and stays off until you turn it on and tell it what counts as an emergency. A feature in your plan is never sold to you as a Custom Action.
Questions
The ones people actually ask.
Do I have to change my number or my phone system?
Keep your number. Forward to ours. Three modes: all calls, overflow, after-hours. If we cannot take the call, it rings the number that was configured to receive it.
What do you actually need from me?
Start in minutes: your price list, however you have it, and your calendar. You listen to it answer and change what you do not like, and you forward the line when you are ready. About 90 minutes of your time in the first week.
Will my customers know it's AI?
It is AI. When asked directly, it says so. The greeting discloses that the call is recorded.
What happens when it cannot take the call?
If we cannot take the call, it rings the number that was configured to receive it. It quotes from the price book you wrote. We supply it no prices of our own. The figures are yours.
Do I get a dashboard?
You get one page to change your hours, your prices and what the agent says. No app to run your business from, and no dashboard of bookings: those are in your own calendar.
What exactly counts as a Custom Action?
A Custom Action is $150: bespoke work we build for you, agreed before anything is built. Features in your plan are never sold as one.
We never book a time we are not holding for you.
Up to 20 prices. Knowledge by category: hours, service area, brands, warranty terms, FAQs. One calendar, one CRM.
One automated step we build for you, in one system we do not already connect to, triggered by the call. Raising a draft invoice in your accounting software when a job is booked is a Custom Action. Confirmation texts, emergency alerts to your team and CRM updates are not: they are part of the plans.
Anything that has to read from one system, change a record in a second and notify a third. That is a workflow, and we would scope it as its own small project rather than pretend it is a $150 add-on. If you are not sure which side yours falls on, say so before anyone pays anything.
