Who each one fits

Rosie is a good fit if your customers want to talk to a voice and you want calls answered live.

JobCatcher is a text flow, not a voice service. It is built for the call you could not pick up: the caller gets a text, answers a few questions and books an open time inside your hours.

Where JobCatcher is faster and easier

Faster to the customer. A missed caller gets a text in seconds, not a voicemail they may never leave.
Faster to a booked job. The caller answers your trade questions and picks an open time themselves, inside your hours.
Easier setup. Pick your trade, check your questions, and forward your missed calls. Most people finish in about five minutes, with no sales call.
Simpler price. A flat $39 or $79 a month, plus a one-time $35 activation that covers the carrier texting registration. No contract.

Common questions

Is JobCatcher a Rosie alternative?

They solve the same problem in different ways. Rosie is an AI answering service that picks up calls for small businesses. JobCatcher does not answer calls by voice; it texts the caller right after a missed call and lets them book.

Can I use JobCatcher with Rosie?

You could. If a call is answered by a receptionist it is not missed, so JobCatcher would only text callers who are not picked up.

Do customers actually reply to texts?

Many people will text a quick answer instead of leaving a voicemail, and JobCatcher lets them pick a real open time. You can call the demo line to see what the caller gets.
