Where Rosie is strong
- Lower starting price than KeptRing.
- Appointment booking and live call transfers on the Scale plan and up, per its pricing page.
- Website chat widget and texting add-ons.
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 price is the main factor, or you need call transfers and booking now, Rosie's published plans start lower and include those features on higher tiers. 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.
