SkollVoice vs Rosie: which AI receptionist books more jobs?
Rosie and SkollVoice both answer the phones for US service businesses, and both train on your website. But they draw the line in different places: Both start at $49 and ships polished mobile apps, while SkollVoice books on every plan, texts photo estimates and remembers repeat callers. Here is the fair version, with the trade-offs stated plainly.
Pricing and features cited are as of 2026 and change often. Check each vendor's page before you buy.
Pick Rosie if you want the bigger minute bucket at the same $49 and native apps. Pick SkollVoice to actually close jobs on the call.
If you want the cheapest way to stop calls hitting voicemail and you value a mature mobile app, Rosie is a reasonable pick. If a "receptionist" needs to book on the call, price a job from photos, and recognize the customer who called last week, that is where SkollVoice is built to win.

Where Rosie is genuinely ahead
More entry-tier minutes
Rosie's $49 plan includes 250 minutes to SkollVoice's 200 at the same $49 sticker. For a very low call volume that only needs message-taking, those extra minutes are real.
Mature native mobile apps
Rosie has shipped native iOS and Android apps for a while, and owners consistently like them. SkollVoice ships apps too, but Rosie's are a well-earned strength.
Fast, familiar onboarding
Rosie's Google Business Profile plus website setup is quick and non-technical, and you can test-call your own agent during setup.
Free spam filtering, published counts
Rosie filters robocalls for free and publicly reports large customer and call volumes. We match the spam filtering and are transparent that our brand is younger.
Where SkollVoice wins
- Booking on every plan. SkollVoice books real appointments on your calendar starting at $49. On Rosie, in-call booking is a $149 feature; the $49 tier sends an SMS scheduling link and is closer to a message-taker.
- Photo-to-quote estimates. When a caller asks "how much?", SkollVoice texts a photo link, drafts an estimate from the images with vision AI, lets you approve a number from your phone, and calls the customer back. Rosie has no photo or MMS quoting.
- Per-caller memory. SkollVoice recognizes repeat callers and extracts facts from each call. Rosie's knowledge is limited to what your website and Google profile say, with no documented per-caller memory.
- A three-agent family. A daytime receptionist, a night mode and a CRM closer that follows up with your approved quote. Rosie runs a single configurable agent.
- The call-you demo. On our home page you build an agent and it rings your phone in about a minute so you can interview it. Rosie lets you test-call your agent during setup, but only after you start.
An honest read on price
Both headlines now read $49. But compare what the plan does. Rosie's $49 tier takes messages and sends booking links; to book on the call you move to $149. SkollVoice books on the call at $49, and its $149 plan adds photo quotes and two-way SMS. If your business lives or dies on booked jobs rather than returned messages, the same sticker buys very different outcomes.
One thing we will not do is pretend our overage is a secret. SkollVoice charges $0.30 per minute over your plan, published up front. Rosie does not publish an overage rate, which some buyers report as a source of surprise. Whichever you choose, ask for the overage number in writing.
What that looks like on a real call
Scripted for illustration. On the $49 Rosie tier this same call would typically end with a texted booking link rather than a slot confirmed on the call.
Common questions
Is Rosie cheaper than SkollVoice?
No. Both entry plans are $49 per month as of 2026: Rosie includes 250 minutes, SkollVoice 200. The difference is what each plan does: Rosie's $49 tier sends SMS booking links, while in-call calendar booking starts on Rosie's $149 plan. SkollVoice includes calendar booking on every plan.
Does Rosie send photo estimates?
No. Rosie does not offer photo-to-quote MMS estimates as of 2026. SkollVoice can text a photo link, draft an estimate from the images with vision AI, and call the customer back with the number on its $149 plan.
Which has the better mobile app?
Both ship real apps. Rosie's native iOS and Android apps are well regarded and a genuine strength. SkollVoice offers iOS, Android and web with an in-app assistant for the owner.
