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.

Its free tier makes it easy to trial. Smith.ai also sells human receptionist plans, so you can move up to live staff if the AI isn't enough. Prices are per call, not per minute.
Free: 25 calls/mo, then $3.00/call. Pro: $150/mo for 75 calls (~$2.00/call). Enterprise: $500/mo for 300 calls (~$1.67/call). Volume discounts on higher call packs.

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