Where Rosie Stands Out
To be fair, Rosie does several things better than we do.
- Minutes per dollar: 250 minutes for $49 is the most minutes under $50 we know of, and 1,000 minutes for $149 is $50 less than our Business plan.
- Native iOS and Android apps for checking calls on the go.
- A website chat widget, free on every plan.
- Zapier on every plan, for sending call data to other tools. We don't have Zapier or webhooks yet.
- A product shaped around plumbers, HVAC and the other trades.
