GreetKeeper vs Rosie
Rosie and GreetKeeper both start at $49, so the headline is a tie. Then look at what the $49 buys. Rosie's Professional plan is 250 minutes and keeps appointment booking and live transfer on the $149 Scale tier above it. Ours is 200 answered calls with booking switched on. If booking is why you want an AI receptionist at all, that one row decides the page.

|---|---|---|
| Billing unit | Per answered call | Per minute |

Why people move off Rosie
One vendor's specific wall, not a general complaint about the category.
Two walls, and almost everyone hits one of them. The first is the $149 gate: appointment booking and live transfer aren't on the $49 Professional plan, so the cheap entry price stops being cheap the moment you want the receptionist to actually do receptionist work. The second is that Rosie's overage rate isn't published anywhere on their pricing page, so 250 minutes runs out mid-month and you find out what the next minute costs from the invoice.
Where we differ
The right-hand column is the honest one. A comparison that finds no fault with itself is worth nothing.
What GreetKeeper does differently
- Rosie keeps appointment booking and live transfer behind the $149 Scale tier. Booking is on our $49 plan.
- Their overage rate is not published, so the cost of a busy month is unknown until it arrives.
- Minutes versus calls: a four-minute booking costs them more and us the same.
What you give up leaving Rosie
- The cheapest credible entry point in the category, and they rank on head terms with a small, well-built site.
- They train from your website and Google Business Profile, which makes setup fast.
- Their $49 tier includes 250 minutes, more raw talking time than any other entry plan here.
What a busy month costs on each meter
The headline price tells you about a quiet month. This is the other one.
Rosie sells minutes: 250 at $49, 1,000 at $149, 2,000 at $299, with two months free on annual billing. What happens past the bundle isn't published, which is the part that bites. If your calls average three minutes, 250 minutes is about 83 conversations. Ours is 200 answered calls at $49 and $0.45 for each one after, printed on the pricing page. A five-minute booking call costs Rosie's meter five minutes and costs ours one call.
| 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 Rosie in practice
The technical part is a forwarding change. The rest is the part nobody warns you about.
Rosie trains itself from your website and your Google Business Profile, which is genuinely fast and means you never wrote a script. So when you leave, there's no script to bring. Spend an hour writing down the six questions your callers ask most, your opening hours, and what should happen when someone wants an appointment. It's the work Rosie did for you quietly, and you'll want it in your own file regardless of who answers your phone next.
What we cannot show you
Questions people ask about this comparison
Rosie is also $49. Why would I move?
Because the two plans aren't selling the same thing. Rosie's $49 Professional tier puts appointment booking and live transfer on the $149 Scale tier. Our $49 Starter includes booking. For message-taking alone, Rosie's $49 covers 250 minutes and ours covers 200 answered calls.
What does Rosie charge once the 250 minutes are gone?
They don't publish a rate. That's the honest answer, and it's also your problem: a busy month has no price until your invoice arrives. Ours is $0.45 a call on Starter and it's printed on the pricing page.
Rosie learns from my website. Do I have to write a script for you?
Not from scratch. Point GreetKeeper at your website for a first draft of your hours, services and FAQs, then correct it. A draft knows only what your site happens to say, so add the six questions your callers really ask. That takes an afternoon and gives you something you own.
