Lives inside Jobber, so bookings land straight in the job calendar. The $29 is an add-on, not a standalone plan: it only makes sense if you already pay for Jobber.
Add-on $29/mo on Jobber Core, Connect or Grow; included in the Plus plan. Jobber plans (billed annually): Core $29/mo, Connect $99/mo, Grow $149/mo, Plus $399/mo; month-to-month: Core $49, Connect $139, Grow $199, Plus $499. Answers calls and texts; can answer questions, take detailed requests and book jobs into the Jobber calendar.
Note: Add-on: needs a paid Jobber plan on top of the $29/mo (Core is $49/mo month-to-month, $29/mo billed annually). Included in Jobber Plus.

A business phone system with AI answering (Sona) included. It makes the most sense if you'd use the phone system anyway.
