Alternatives to Goodcall

• Rosie 8.2: Small shops that want every call answered and booked without hiring a receptionist.
• 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.
