Choose your own adventure:
All free + ungated. With more on the way.
Side-by-side pages on the options you are probably already looking at. Where a vendor publishes pricing, the page shows it. Where it does not, the page says so.
Jobber AI Receptionist, ServiceTitan AI, Housecall Pro AI, and GoHighLevel Voice AI. For owners deciding whether the AI inside their field-service software or agency CRM is enough.
Smith.ai, Avoca AI, and Hatch. Each page covers what is verifiable about the vendor, who it fits, and how its pricing works.
Two roundups: best answering service for small business and best answering service for contractors. Both compare the field with Mecha included, name a top three, and show published pricing where vendors share it.
Plug in what you actually spend, close, and lose. Each calculator is built for home services contractors.
Work out your cost per lead, cost per booked job, and ROI, and see what a missed call costs.
See what a customer is worth over the years, including maintenance agreements, equipment replacements, and referrals.
A one-minute quiz that estimates the revenue you lose to missed calls, after-hours gaps, and phone overflow.

Eight call scripts built from real home services calls: speed-to-lead callbacks, estimate follow-up, reactivation, confirmations, review asks and phone answering.
First texts for any missed call, after hours, emergencies and estimate requests, plus examples of how a good back-and-forth goes.
Ten copy-ready text templates, from the booking confirmation to the no-show follow-up, with merge fields and opt-out language.
Reference material to check your own numbers against, plus a real call so you can hear what an AI agent sounds like.
23 lead sources ranked by what they cost, per booked job wherever that number is sourceable. Every figure is sourced or labeled as an estimate, from marketplaces to the free channels you already own.
A 22-trade benchmark table that follows cost per lead through booked jobs and lifetime value. Each row labels its lead costs Published or Modeled, and lifetime value is modeled for every trade.
Each example is a real call a Mecha AI phone agent took for a home services contractor, played whole, with timed notes and a transcript. The first one is a roofing call.
Flat monthly pricing, live in about two weeks, and you'll love it or it's free.
