The best AI receptionists for pest control companies
GreetKeeper is our product, and it ranks first for pest control on the method below. It books the inspection or treatment into your calendar during the call, and routes a wasp nest over a doorway to your on-call tech. Plans start at $49 for 200 calls with booking on every one.
Pest calls come in waves. Termites swarm in spring, wasps peak in late summer, and mice move indoors when it turns cold. Each wave brings callers who want someone out this week. Your techs are in crawl spaces, and the office line rings unanswered.
Goodcall bills per unique customer at $79 for 100, which suits a route of quarterly-service clients who phone about their next visit. Rosie charges $49 for 250 minutes and Dialzara $29 for 60, both by the minute.
Smith.ai adds a trained human team behind its AI from $150 for Pro. Abby Connect sells human and AI minutes from one bundle, starting at $165.
How this was put together
Disclosure: GreetKeeper is our product. We ranked six vendors in September 2026 for residential and light commercial pest control. Every rival figure was read on the vendor's own pricing page that month.
What we compared
- Whether an inspection or treatment can be booked during the call, on the entry plan.
- Whether an urgent call, such as stinging insects near a door, can be routed to a technician.
- What a seasonal surge of calls costs, including the rate past the allowance.
- How spam and robocalls are counted.

Read from each vendor's own pricing page in September 2026.
GreetKeeper
Books the inspection, routes the urgent call, from $49 for 200 calls.
Worth it for: A pest control company with techs on the road all day, where spring and late summer bring more calls than the office can pick up.
Charges per answered call. Entry plan $49/mo for 200 answered calls. After the allowance: $0.45 a call on Starter, published.
Goodcall
One unit per customer, with minutes uncapped.
Worth it for: An operator with a large base of recurring-service clients who call about visits, since each repeat caller counts once.
Not for: A company with a number per service area, since pricing is per agent and each phone number is an agent.
Charges per unique caller. Entry plan Starter $79/mo ($66 annual) for 100 unique customers. After the allowance: $0.50 per additional unique customer, published.
Rosie
A $49 entry plan metered by the minute.
Worth it for: A one-truck operator who wants calls answered and messages taken, with 250 minutes for $49.
Not for: Booking treatments on the entry plan, since booking and live transfer sit on the $149 Scale tier.
Charges per minute. Entry plan Professional $49/mo for 250 minutes. After the allowance: Not published.
Dialzara
The lowest entry, with overage printed on every tier.
Worth it for: A part-time or off-season operator with few calls, at $29 for 60 minutes.
Not for: Swarm season, since 60 minutes covers only a small number of inspection calls and the next plan is $99 for 220.
Charges per minute. Entry plan Business Lite $29/mo for 60 minutes. After the allowance: Published on every tier, from $0.48 a minute down to $0.35.
Smith.ai
AI backed by a human team, per call.
Worth it for: A commercial pest firm whose accounts are large enough that about $2.00 a call on the $150 Pro plan is small change.
Not for: A residential operator with seasonal spikes, since calls past the free tier's 25 cost $3.00 each.
Charges per call. Entry plan Free tier at $0 for 25 calls, then $3.00 a call. After the allowance: Published, and the per-call rate falls as the tier rises.
Abby Connect
A single bundle for human and AI minutes.
Worth it for: A company that wants a person on new-customer calls and AI on routine reschedules, since one Abby Minute buys two minutes of AI.
Not for: A tight budget, at $165 for 50 Abby Minutes, with the rate past the bundle not published.
Charges per minute (half-rate AI). Entry plan Starter $165/mo for 50 Abby Minutes. After the allowance: Not published; one Abby Minute buys two minutes of AI handling.
What decides it for a pest control company
Start with the urgent call. Write a transfer rule for stinging insects, a rodent inside a restaurant or anything else you treat as same-day. GreetKeeper puts the caller through to the on-call tech and tries a second number if that one isn't picked up. It can text the details either way.
Next, book the routine work. GreetKeeper books the inspection or quarterly treatment into Google Calendar or Outlook during the call. It reads the name, number and time back first. The caller then gets one text with the confirmation.
Then count the junk. A pest control line attracts robocalls and lead-seller spam. GreetKeeper drops silent or robotic callers before the greeting, and screened calls don't count toward the plan.
Our own pricing, in full
Including the rate after the allowance, which is the number most of this list leaves off.
| Plan | Monthly | Calls included | After that |
|---|---|---|---|
| StarterFor a single location taking calls one line at a time. | $49 | 200 | $0.45 per call |
| ProfessionalBooking, routing and transfers included, not an add-on. | $149 | 750 | $0.35 per call |
| ScaleFor busy phones and longer opening hours. | $349 | 2,000 | $0.25 per call |
The short version
- Booking is included on every tier. Rosie keeps booking and live transfer behind its $149 plan.
- The overage rate is on the pricing page. Rosie, Ruby, Slang and AnswerConnect do not publish theirs.
- Calls are counted, not minutes, so a long useful conversation costs the same as a short one.
