Where Goodcall is strong
- No per-minute charges: it bills by unique customers, per its pricing page.
- A free demo agent; you pay when you connect a number.
- Call transfers, external tools, and Zapier.
Where KeptRing is different
- Built only for contractors: trade-specific intake and safety rules (gas, CO, sparking) written for you and approved by you before go-live.
- Says it's an AI and that the call may be recorded on every call.
- Answers the calls you miss during business hours by default; after-hours is opt-in because of how Google LSA counts answered calls.
- Emails you a lead summary after every call. Texting isn't live yet.
- No call transfers, calendar booking, or CRM integrations yet.
- Published, flat pricing with a no-surprise-bills policy: the trial stops at 250 minutes, with reminders 7 and 3 days before the first charge.
Which fits? If you want to build and tune your own agent and prefer per-customer billing, Goodcall fits. KeptRing is done-for-you: we write and test your trade script and you approve it. If you're a contractor who mainly needs missed calls answered, safety-screened, and emailed to you at a flat published price, try KeptRing's demo line and judge for yourself.

Hear it before you decide.
Call the demo line and pretend you're a homeowner with no heat, or say you're a contractor and ask how it works. It costs nothing and takes two minutes.
The demo answers as Summit Heating & Plumbing, a fictional company. You'll hear that it's an automated assistant and that the call may be recorded.
