Every plan adds a one-time $35 activation fee when you go live.

What the $35 activation fee is for

Before a business number can send texts in the US, it has to be registered with the phone carriers (this is called 10DLC). The activation fee covers getting your local JobCatcher number and registering it. Carrier approval usually takes 3 to 5 business days. More about 10DLC.

When billing starts

Setting up is free and you don't need a card to do it. You pay the $35 activation fee and your first month when you choose to go live ($74 on Solo, $114 on Pro). After that it's billed monthly. Cancel yourself anytime from the billing page; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Which plan should I pick?

Solo ($39/month) fits a one-person business, or an owner-operator who takes every call and job. You get every core feature: the instant text back, self-booking inside your hours, URGENT alerts, reminders, English and Spanish, calendar sync and JobStation.

Pro ($79/month) fits a business with a crew. It adds 2 crew members with their own job texts and jobs page, a crew schedule that shows who's free, booked or off, Google review requests after each job, and a choice of the voice callers hear.

If you're not sure, start with Solo. Solo needs no crew features to work, and you can move to Pro when you hire.

A worked example for a crew

Pro includes 2 crew members. Say you have 4 people in the field: that's 2 extra at $20 each, so $79 + 2 × $20 is $119 a month, with no per-text or per-call charges on top. The activation fee is paid once, when you go live.

What you never pay extra for

Is it worth it?

Do the math with your own numbers: missed calls per week, how many of those were real jobs, and your average job. Our missed call cost guide walks through it. For most trades, one job saved covers the month.

Live answering services for small businesses commonly run a few hundred dollars a month and are often billed by the minute or by the call, which climbs in your busy season. JobCatcher is a flat monthly price whether you miss 10 calls or 200. See answering service vs missed call text back.

Common questions

Is there a free trial?

Setup is free and you don't need a card to set everything up and see your booking form. You pay when you go live: the $35 activation fee plus your first month ($74 on Solo, $114 on Pro). After that it renews monthly.

Is there a yearly plan?

Yes. Pay yearly and get two months free: Solo is $390 a year and Pro is $790 a year, instead of 12 monthly payments. The one-time activation fee is the same.

Is there a contract or cancellation fee?

No. Plans are month to month. Cancel anytime from the billing page; it takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Are there per-text or per-call charges?

No. Solo and Pro are flat monthly prices. Extra crew members on Pro are $20 a month each.
