Which one fits
Who should pick which.
Rosie is the better pick if
- You get few, short calls and the $49 plan covers them.
- You want a free chat widget on your website from the same company.
- You don't need jobs booked straight into your calendar, or you're happy on the $149 plan.
Blumeo is the better pick if
- You're an HVAC, plumbing, electrical or roofing contractor and want emergencies sent straight to your on-call phone.
- You want booking into Google Calendar on the entry plan.
- You want every missed caller texted back within a minute.
- You want billing by the call, so a long emergency call doesn't use up your plan.
