Rosie vs Dialzara
Rosie and Dialzara both sell an AI receptionist by the minute, and both start cheap. Dialzara's Business Lite is $29 a month for 60 minutes. Rosie's Professional is $49 for 250 minutes. Dialzara prints an overage rate on every tier, from $0.48 a minute down to $0.35. Rosie doesn't print one.
Past the entry plans, the ladders pull apart. Rosie's next step is $149 for 1,000 minutes, and that's the plan where its booking and live transfer begin. Dialzara climbs in smaller steps: $99 for 220, $199 for 500 and $349 for 1,000.
Dialzara fits a quiet line that wants the lowest bill and a known rate for every extra minute. Rosie fits a line that uses a few hundred minutes a month, where one bundle covers far more talk time. Both were read on the vendors' own pages in September 2026.

How far $29 and $49 go
Sixty minutes is an hour of talking. At three minutes a call, Dialzara's entry plan covers about 20 conversations a month. Rosie's 250 minutes cover about 83 at the same length.
That's the real question for a small operator. If your phone rings a few times a week, $29 may be all you ever pay. If it rings a few times a day, you'll outgrow 60 minutes before the second week is out.
A house-cleaning business in its first year
Picture a two-person cleaning business with 70 calls a month. Most are quote requests and rebookings, at about two and a half minutes each. That's 175 minutes.
On Dialzara, 175 minutes is past Business Lite's 60. The Pro plan at $99 covers 220 minutes and leaves some room. A busy month past 220 bills at the Pro tier's printed overage rate, so you know the cost of every extra minute.
On Rosie, 175 minutes fits inside Professional's 250 at $49. There's one catch for a cleaning business that books visits by phone. Booking and live transfer start on the $149 Scale plan, so the plan you'd need depends on whether you want jobs put on the calendar.
Dialzara's ladder, and the rate on every step
Dialzara's first two tiers are Business Lite at $29 for 60 minutes and Pro at $99 for 220. Above them sit Plus at $199 for 500 and Elite at $349 for 1,000. The overage rate is printed on each one, and it falls as you climb.
You also get a seven-day trial. That's long enough to forward your line for a week and read the call logs before you pay for a plan.
Rosie's ladder, and the plan where booking starts
Rosie sells Professional at $49 for 250 minutes, Scale at $149 for 1,000 and Growth at $299 for 2,000. Pay annually and two months are free. It trains itself from your website and Google Business Profile, so setup starts from what you've already published.
Two lines need checking before you sign. Booking and live transfer sit on Scale and above. And the rate for a minute past your bundle isn't printed, so ask Rosie for it in writing.
If you'd rather not count minutes
Disclosure: GreetKeeper is our product, and it appears only in this section. It bills per answered call, so a long quote call costs the same as a short one. Starter is $49 a month for 200 answered calls, with $0.45 for each call after. Professional is $149 for 750 at $0.35, and Scale is $349 for 2,000 at $0.25.
The 70-call cleaning business fits Starter, with booking on the plan. GreetKeeper reads the address and time back, writes the visit into Google Calendar or Outlook, and the caller gets one text with the confirmation. Robocalls are screened out before the greeting, and they don't count toward the plan.
Point it at your website for a first draft of your services and hours, then correct it. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, every feature on and no card.
