Alternatives to Rosie

• Goodcall 7.6: Busy shops with lots of long calls who are tired of per-minute billing.
• Dialzara 7.0: Low call volume: a solo tradesperson who wants after-hours coverage cheaply.
• Smith.ai 5.8: High-ticket work (remodels, commercial) where every call is worth hundreds and you want a human-first option.
