AI Receptionist Prices for Roofers (October 2026)
Roofing companies do not all buy AI receptionists the same way. Some tools charge by the minute, some by the call or unique customer, and some sell AI as an add-on to a CRM or field-service platform. The table below preserves the starting price and pricing notes recorded in our verified tools.csv dataset. Where tools.csv says “unknown” or “custom quote,” this post does not fill in a number.

Important: Roofr, Joist and HighLevel rows are platform entries. Their AI receptionist prices, where recorded, appear in the pricing notes rather than the platform starting price. Individual profiles on this site may show a later vendor-page breakdown; this roundup keeps the tools.csv fields visible and linked to the recorded source.
Four pricing models roofers need to separate
1. Per-minute AI receptionist pricing
tools.csv records Dialzara from $29/mo for 60 minutes and Rosie from $49/mo for 250 minutes. Ask what happens after the included minutes are used and whether calls are rounded.
2. Per-customer or per-call pricing
Goodcall is recorded at $79/mo for 100 unique customers with minutes unmetered. Smith.ai is recorded with a free AI plan for 25 calls/mo, then $3/call. These models cannot be compared with minute buckets until you estimate call count and call length.
3. AI as a platform add-on
tools.csv records the Roofr AI Receptionist as a $99/mo add-on ($85 yearly) inside the Roofr row, and the Joist AI Receptionist from $49/mo inside the Joist row. The platform subscription may be required before the add-on price applies.
4. Custom or unpublished pricing
Sameday is recorded from $449/mo for 500 minutes. Avoca AI is custom-quoted in tools.csv, and Alivo (Lilly) has an unknown starting price. For HighLevel, tools.csv records platform plans from $97/mo; the profile breaks out the AI Employee pricing recorded from HighLevel’s pricing documentation.
What to check before you call a price “cheap”
- Included minutes, calls or unique customers—and the overage rate.
- Whether appointment booking is included or only message taking.
- Whether JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Roofr or HighLevel integration is native or via Zapier/Make.
- Phone number, telephony, setup, onboarding and AI add-on charges.
- Trial terms and whether a card is required.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI receptionist for roofers cost?
The published entries recorded in tools.csv include a free Smith.ai AI plan, Dialzara from $29/mo, Rosie from $49/mo and Goodcall from $79/mo. Other tools are add-ons, custom-quoted or unknown, so the entry price is not the full cost.
Why do some rows show a platform price instead of an AI receptionist price?
Roofr, Joist and HighLevel are platform rows in tools.csv. Their notes separate the platform starting price from the AI receptionist or AI add-on where the source recorded one. Read the pricing notes before comparing totals.
Has Roof Jobs Connect tested these prices by buying the tools?
No. This roundup republishes the sourced tools.csv fields and links to the recorded source for each row. Confirm current pricing, taxes, telephony, setup and add-ons with the vendor.
