GreetKeeper vs Echowin
Echowin is a toolkit for building AI phone and chat agents, and it bills $0.20 a voice minute plus $10 a month for each number. You write the agent's instructions and wire its tools. GreetKeeper arrives as a working receptionist with your local number included. You pay per answered call, from $49 for 200 calls.

Why people move off Echowin
One vendor's specific wall, not a general complaint about the category.
Echowin's own tagline is about building, and that is the step many owners stall on. A tire shop or a plumber doesn't want to write agent instructions, test them and fix the edge cases in the evening. The second reason is the minute math. Bundle minutes reset every month and don't carry over, so a quiet month still spends the bundle and a busy one falls back to the pay-as-you-go rate.

What GreetKeeper does differently from Echowin
- GreetKeeper counts answered calls, not minutes: Professional is $149 a month for 750 calls, and a ten-minute call counts once.
- Your dedicated local number is part of the plan, with the area code you pick at signup.
- There's no agent to design. Point GreetKeeper at your website and it drafts your hours, services and FAQs for you to correct.
- Appointments are booked into Google Calendar or Outlook during the call, and the details are read back before it books.
- When a transfer isn't picked up, GreetKeeper tries a second number you nominate and texts the on-call person the caller's details.
- Robocalls and spam calls are screened out before the greeting and never count toward your plan.
What a busy month costs on each meter
The headline price tells you about a quiet month. This is the other one.
On Echowin, a bigger month means a bigger bundle. The top published bundle is $350 for 2,500 minutes at $0.14 a minute, and each number adds $10 a month. The bill tracks how long callers talk. GreetKeeper tracks how many people ring. Scale is $349 for 2,000 answered calls, with $0.25 for each call past that. Very short calls, robocalls and screened calls don't count toward the plan.
| 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 |
Moving off Echowin in practice
The technical part is a forwarding change. The rest is the part nobody warns you about.
Keep your Echowin agent live while you set GreetKeeper up next to it. Sign up, choose the area code for your local number, and point GreetKeeper at your website for a first draft of your hours and services. Copy the questions your Echowin instructions ask callers into the intake list. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook, then move your business line's forwarding to the GreetKeeper number. When a week of transcripts reads right, release the Echowin number.
Questions people ask about this comparison
How does Echowin pricing work next to GreetKeeper?
Echowin charges by the minute: $0.20 on pay as you go, or $0.14 to $0.18 on a monthly bundle, plus $10 a month per number, as of September 2026. GreetKeeper charges by the answered call. Starter is $49 for 200 calls, with the local number included and $0.45 for each extra call.
Do I have to write prompts to set up GreetKeeper?
No. GreetKeeper reads your website and drafts your hours, services and FAQs. You correct what it got wrong and add the questions you want every caller asked. Then you connect your calendar and choose who gets transfers.
Can GreetKeeper text the caller after the call?
Yes. After the call, the caller receives one text with the booking confirmation or a booking link. A reply with the opt-out word stops further texts. Your on-call person can get a separate text with the caller's name, number and reason.
Does GreetKeeper work with my existing business number?
Yes. You keep your number and forward it to your GreetKeeper local number. All calls, busy, no-answer and unreachable forwarding all work. The ring count is set where the forwarding is set, and GreetKeeper answers the moment the call arrives.
