Honest Verdict

Rosie is a credible entry-level option for contractors who want a cheap answering service and do not need booking, transfers, or follow-up automation. The problem is that most contractors who pay to generate leads actually need those features. If you are running Google Ads and missing emergency calls, Rosie's base plan will take messages while your competitors book the job.
