Rosie review
The friendliest way to stop missing calls: $49 for 250 minutes, trained from your Google Business Profile in about ten minutes.
Verdict
Rosie is the best value for a solo owner: $49 a month buys 250 minutes, an answering service that learns from your Google Business Profile, spam filtering and English and Spanish. Pick it if you mainly need calls answered and messages captured; skip it if you need the receptionist to book straight into your calendar or transfer calls, which means paying $149.
The catch
Calendar booking and call transfers start on the $149 Scale plan; the $49 plan texts a booking link instead.
What it does well
- 250 minutes for $49: the cheapest 200-minute month among ready-made receptionists
- Trains itself from your Google profile and website
- Native iOS and Android apps, English and Spanish on every call
- Native iOS and Android apps (brand statement)
- Automatic spam detection (brand statement)
- Website chat widget free on all plans (brand statement)
Who it is for, and who should skip it
Good pick if:
- Solo trades and consultants who miss calls while working
- After-hours and overflow answering on a small budget
- Owners who want a phone app to follow calls
Skip it if:
- Businesses that need direct calendar booking on the entry plan
- Teams that need live transfers without paying for Scale
Plans
Rosie has three plans. Professional costs $49 a month for 250 minutes, with custom message taking (2 scenarios), booking links sent by text, spam detection and a website chat widget. Scale costs $149 for 1,000 minutes and adds direct calendar booking, warm and live transfers and texts during the call. Growth costs $299 for 2,000 minutes with waterfall transfers, custom agent training, white-glove onboarding and priority support. Annual billing gives two months free.
No per-minute overage (and what that means)
Rosie doesn't charge per extra minute. Its FAQ explains that you get several warning emails as you approach your limit, and if you go over, Rosie moves you up to the next plan at its standard price, never more, with no interruption. That is reassuring (no surprise bill per minute), but it is a step: the 251st minute moves you from $49 to $149. Our formula treats this as a stated but expensive overage.
Setup
Rosie says it scans your Google Business Profile and website to train itself; you confirm the details, add FAQs and message requirements, and initial setup can take as little as 10 minutes. You keep your number and forward calls to your Rosie number. Calendar integrations (Google Calendar, Calendly, Acuity, Appointlet) are on Scale and higher; on Professional, Rosie texts the caller a booking link. Connections to a CRM go through Zapier, and Rosie says direct CRM integrations are in progress.
