Rosie is a real product with published pricing, and for some shops it is the right buy — we say exactly which shops below. The choice that matters is not the logo. It is what happens on the call and around it: at Rosie's lowest price, your caller gets a booking link by text and books themselves; direct calendar booking starts at its $149 tier. With Front Desk, direct booking is included at the only tier we sell, we build and run the whole thing for you, and if she's not booking, we keep tuning her until she is.
| Rosie (published, checked Oct 17, 2026) | Front Desk by SecondBid | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing shape | Minute tiers: $49/mo for 250 minutes, $149/mo for 1,000 minutes, $299/mo for 2,000 minutes | One flat tier: $750 setup, split $375 to start / $375 on demo approval; $349/month, month-to-month, no contract; 750 answered minutes included; overage $0.35/min published; usage alert at 80%; spam calls, hang-ups, and wrong numbers are never billed. |
| Calendar booking | The $49 tier sends the caller an appointment link by text — the caller books themselves. Direct calendar booking starts at Scale ($149) | Direct booking is the product, included at the only tier we sell — the caller hangs up with the appointment already in your calendar |
| How you try it | 7-day self-serve trial: sign up, set it up yourself, judge it yourself | A live demo number you call right now — (786) 983-5692 — no sign-up, no email, no setup. Then hear-before-you-pay: your own private demo, built for you, before the second $375 is due |
| Setup | Self-configured on the $49 and $149 tiers (it auto-trains from your website and Google profile); white-glove onboarding starts at Growth ($299) | Done for you at our only tier: we build it with your name, your facts, and your booking rules, then tune, monitor, and run it for you |
| If it does not book work | No performance guarantee published; risk is carried by the free trial and cancel-anytime | We stand behind her work: she is managed for you — monitored on your real calls, reported on weekly, and if she's not booking jobs for you, we keep tuning her until she is. You hear her live before you pay in full — that's the deal. |
| Spanish | English & Spanish included on every plan, including $49 | English and Spanish both included — a tie; neither side charges extra for it |
| What it answers as | An AI receptionist for your business | Your shop’s own front desk — she doesn’t answer with our name, she answers with yours |
Ratings note, stated fairly: TechnologyAdvice included Rosie in its best AI answering services roundup while noting Rosie had no G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot reviews at the time. We have no reviews to show you either — we are new, and we will not dress that up. That is exactly why we put the work in writing instead: she is managed and monitored for you, and if she's not booking, we keep tuning her until she is.
Your call volume is low, a booking link texted to the caller is enough for your shop, you are comfortable setting software up yourself, and the lowest possible monthly number is the deciding factor. On price per minute Rosie wins outright — its Scale tier is $149 for 1,000 minutes against our $349 for 750 — and at $49 for 250 minutes it is cheaper for light use. We concede that plainly. Rosie is also the established name here: it says 2,000+ businesses use it and 3.1M+ calls handled, and it includes a free website chat widget on every plan, which Front Desk does not offer.
The job is getting work booked: the caller hangs up with a confirmed appointment in your calendar, booked by the receptionist while they are still on the line — not a link they have to follow up on themselves. You want it built and run for you, one flat predictable price with direct booking included, and a team that stands behind the work — if she's not booking, we keep tuning her until she is. That is the whole offer: $750 setup, split $375 to start / $375 on demo approval; $349/month, month-to-month, no contract; 750 answered minutes included; overage $0.35/min published; usage alert at 80%; spam calls, hang-ups, and wrong numbers are never billed. And that commitment travels with the price: we monitor her on your real calls, send you a weekly report, and keep tuning her until she's booking.
Running an online store instead of a service shop? Your calls are order-status and returns, not service bookings — a specialist built for Shopify is the better fit; start with this guide to an ai receptionist for ecommerce.
Do not decide from this page. Decide from a phone call: call (786) 983-5692 now and try to stump her.
$750 setup (split in two) + $349/month
Month-to-month. No contract. Cancel by email.
We stand behind her work: if she's not booking jobs for you, we keep tuning her until she is. You hear her live before you pay in full — that's the deal. Plus hear-before-you-pay (the second $375 is not due until you approve your own demo) and clean-exit terms in writing: you keep your number, calendar, and data; we never port your number.
No. Not to buy it, not to set it up, not ever. The demo line is the product itself, this page has the full price and terms, and the whole build runs over email. Everything in writing means nothing gets lost or misremembered.
Call (786) 983-5692 and judge with your own ears — that is the actual voice quality your customers would hear. It introduces itself as your AI receptionist and notes the call may be recorded; it never pretends to be a person.
It books by your rules — job types, durations, arrival windows, buffers — into your calendar, and the customer gets a confirmation invite. If you run a field-service platform such as Jobber, ServiceTitan, or Housecall Pro, tell us on the intake form — we confirm the exact connection path during your build. The demo proves calendar booking.
Check what that add-on actually does on a live call: many take a message for a callback rather than booking the job. Front Desk is built and run for you, answers as your shop, and books the appointment into the calendar your office already watches while the caller is still on the line. Call (786) 983-5692 and compare it with any message-taking add-on.
You tell us once and we update her. The intake form is a one-time setup, not a contract with your first answers — move locations, change your diagnostic fee, add a service, drop a ZIP code: send the change by email and it goes into her setup, normally within two business days. Keeping her current is part of the service.
You define “emergency” on the intake form (no heat or no cool with an infant or elderly resident, a burst pipe, a gas smell — your call). Emergency calls are flagged urgent instantly. In your build, they are also pushed to your on-call number by text the moment they come in — and if you want the warm handoff, they can be transferred live to your on-call tech.
It says so and takes a complete message for you — name, number, issue, urgency. It is loaded with your facts and your approved wording; it never invents prices, policies, or promises, and it never promises a slot your live calendar does not show.
No separate usage bill. Your $349/month includes 750 answered minutes — most service calls run just a few minutes, so most shops never come close. Overage is $0.35 a minute, published here, with an alert at 80%. Spam calls, hang-ups, and wrong numbers are never billed. And we stand behind the work: if she's not booking jobs for you, we keep tuning her until she is.
You do — from day one. Everything runs on accounts in your name, and we never port your number: your calls forward to the receptionist, so leaving is as simple as turning the forwarding off. On exit you get a full export and our access is switched off, confirmed in writing.
