Why people move off Sameday AI
One vendor's specific wall, not a general complaint about the category.
Two lines on Sameday's pricing page send buyers looking. Launch starts at $449 a month for 500 minutes, and the page prints no rate for the minutes after that. Minutes also run fastest on the calls you want most. A homeowner describing water in the basement, or a property manager lining up three estimates, can talk for a long time, and every one of those minutes comes out of the plan.

What GreetKeeper does differently from Sameday AI
- GreetKeeper's entry plan is $49 a month for 200 answered calls. Sameday's Launch plan starts at $449 with 500 minutes.
- You pay per answered call, so a long estimate call costs the same as a quick question about your hours.
- Each call past your allowance costs $0.45, $0.35 or $0.25 by plan, printed beside the plan.
- Robocalls and spam calls are dropped before the greeting and don't count toward your plan.
- Booking into Google Calendar or Outlook is on every plan, and the assistant reads the time back before it books.

What a busy month costs on each meter
The headline price tells you about a quiet month. This is the other one.
Sameday's plans start from a minute allowance: 500 on Launch at $449 and 1,000 on Scale at $789 (checked 24 September 2026). Past that, the page offers a slider that runs to 10,000+ minutes and no printed per-minute rate. GreetKeeper counts calls and prints the rate. The $349 Scale plan covers 2,000 answered calls, and each call past that costs $0.25, whether the caller talked for one minute or nine.
| 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 Sameday AI in practice
The technical part is a forwarding change. The rest is the part nobody warns you about.
Sameday's own FAQ says it gives you a number to forward to, so the move is usually one setting. At your carrier or phone system, point the forward at GreetKeeper's local number instead. The ring count is set where the forwarding is set, and GreetKeeper answers the moment the call arrives. Then rebuild your Sameday scheduling rules as booking windows in Google Calendar or Outlook. If your jobs live in ServiceTitan, GreetKeeper's signed webhook can create the booking request through ServiceTitan's Zapier action, on a paid Zapier plan.
Questions people ask about this comparison
How much does Sameday AI cost per month?
Sameday's Launch plan starts at $449 a month with 500 minutes and three locations. Scale starts at $789 with 1,000 minutes and unlimited locations, and Enterprise is custom (checked 24 September 2026). GreetKeeper starts at $49 a month for 200 answered calls.
Does a long estimate call cost more on GreetKeeper?
No. GreetKeeper's unit is the answered call, so a caller who spends seven minutes describing roof damage uses one call from your allowance. On a minute plan, that same conversation uses seven minutes. Very short calls and screened calls don't count at all.
Can GreetKeeper cover several locations like Sameday's Scale plan?
Yes. The Multi-location plan starts at $299 per location, and each location gets its own dedicated local number, hours, greeting and calendar. Inclusions and overage are set in your contract, so a growing group knows the rate before it opens the next branch.
