AI receptionists for tradies (New Zealand)

What to look for, then every provider with a published price, cheapest first for about 50 calls a month. We don't rank providers on quality or pay-to-rank.

What to check

  • When you're on the tools, the main need is getting the caller's name, number, address and job details texted to you straight away.
  • Check whether it answers after hours and on weekends, and how it flags urgent jobs.
  • Some NZ providers connect to job management software such as Fergus, Simpro or Xero; check before you sign up if that matters to you.
  • Check whether prices include GST; NZ providers quote both ways.
