Rosie (heyrosie.com) publishes its AI answering prices plainly, which is more than most of this category does. Rechecked on 2026-09-23: Professional is $49 a month for 250 minutes, Scale is $149 for 1,000 minutes, and Growth is $299 for 2,000 minutes, with a 7-day free trial, cancel anytime.
Going over your minutes is answered on the same page, in the FAQ under "What happens if I go over my minutes?" (the answer shows once you click the question). Rosie sends heads-up emails as you approach your plan's limit, and if you exceed it, moves you up to the next plan "at that plan's standard price, never more", with no per-minute overage. The plan stays at the upgraded tier until you move it back down, and a downgrade takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle. So minute 251 on the $49 plan carries no per-minute fee: it moves you to the $149 plan.
Second thing worth knowing before you compare prices: on the $49 plan, booking is a texted link. Real in-call calendar booking and warm transfers start on Scale at $149. If a caller with no water needs to be handed to your on-call tech mid-call, that is a $149 feature, not a $49 one.
If you want to hear what a per-call plan with a published overage rate sounds like on a real intake, call the OnCrew demo line at (818) 578-4783, or start the 14-day free trial with no credit card. The rest of this guide is Rosie's full table, what gates where, and the contractor math.

The short answer
Rosie AI pricing in 2026, from the live heyrosie.com pricing page rechecked 2026-09-23: Professional $49/month (250 minutes, 2 message scenarios, spam detection), Scale $149/month (1,000 minutes, calendar booking, warm transfers, mid-call SMS), Growth $299/month (2,000 minutes, unlimited scenarios, custom training). "7-day free trial. Cancel anytime." per the page. Going over your minutes adds no per-minute charge: the page's FAQ says you move up to the next plan at that plan's standard price, so a busy month on the $49 plan becomes a $149 plan. Contractor-specific AI alternatives (OnCrew is the example we publish) run $49 to $349 per month billed per call with a published $0.99 per-call overage, so a busy month adds $0.99 a call instead of a plan step.
Rosie pricing tiers (2026)
| Plan | Monthly | Included minutes | Key gates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | $49 | 250 | 2 message scenarios; booking = texted link only |
| Scale | $149 | 1,000 | real calendar booking, warm/live transfers, mid-call SMS |
| Growth | $299 | 2,000 | unlimited scenarios, waterfall transfers, custom agent training |
Add-on: website texting $50/month (25 conversations included, then $1 per additional conversation), rechecked 2026-09-23. Automatic spam detection is included on all plans, a genuine plus over human services that bill for spam time.
At a 4-minute average trade intake, that table is about 62 calls for $49, 250 for $149, and 500 for $299. Run it with your own average call length.

What Rosie's base price does NOT include
- Room for a busy month. Going past 250 minutes moves you up to the next plan ($149 for 1,000 minutes) at that plan's standard price, after heads-up emails as you get close. There is no per-minute overage, but a busy month on the $49 plan becomes a $149 plan, and it stays there until you move it back down.
- Real appointment booking on the entry plan. Professional texts callers a booking link; in-call calendar booking starts at Scale ($149). For contractors who want jobs booked during the call, the effective price is $149.
- Live transfers on the entry plan: also gated to Scale. An urgent caller who should reach your on-call tech directly needs the $149 tier.
- Trial length: 7 days, shorter than the 14 days some competitors offer.
Real monthly math for a contractor shop
Worked example: a 4-truck plumbing shop fielding 130 calls a month at an average 3.5 minutes per call, which is 455 minutes, on the plans rechecked 2026-09-23.
- Professional ($49 for 250 minutes): 455 minutes goes past the pool, and Rosie's FAQ says going over moves you up to the next plan at that plan's standard price, so you land on Scale. Plan for $149.
- Scale ($149 for 1,000 minutes): comfortable headroom, plus the features contractors actually need (booking, transfers). Total $149.
Rosie prices honestly for home services, and the spam detection on every plan is the right instinct. The practical contractor price is the $149 Scale tier once booking and transfers matter.
How much does Rosie AI cost per month?
Rosie AI cost per month for a typical contractor shop: practically $149 per month (Scale), because real appointment booking and live transfers gate there and 80-to-150-call volume often exceeds the entry plan's 250 minutes. The $49 Professional tier fits low-volume lines that only need messages taken and a booking link texted. Going past its 250 minutes moves you up to Scale at $149, per the pricing page's FAQ, so there is no per-minute overage to budget for, only the next plan.
Contractor-specific AI at published pricing
| Vendor | Plan | Billing unit | Included | Overage | Total monthly at 130 calls |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OnCrew | Starter | per call | 100 calls | $0.99 per call (published) | $49 + ($0.99 x 30) = $79 |
| OnCrew | Pro | per call | 400 calls | $0.99 per call | $149 (no overage at this volume) |
| Rosie | Professional | per minute | 250 min | none per minute; going over moves you up to Scale | $149 (455 minutes moves you up to Scale) |
| Rosie | Scale | per minute | 1,000 min | none per minute; going over moves you up to Growth ($299) | $149 |
Both are AI built with home services in mind, priced in the same band. OnCrew's case: contractor-trade intake configured during onboarding (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing), urgent-call handoffs with full transcripts at every tier including the $49 entry, per-call billing with a published overage rate, and a 14-day trial against Rosie's 7. Run both on the same week of real calls.
When Rosie is still the right choice
An honest read of where Rosie wins:
- Home-service businesses at the $149 tier: 1,000 included minutes with booking and transfers is a well-shaped bundle.
- Spam-heavy lines on a budget: included spam detection at $49 beats human services that meter spam time.
- Businesses that want website texting from the same vendor.
The entry-tier feature gates and the move up a plan when you go over your minutes are the two things to price honestly before signing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Rosie AI cost?
$49 (250 minutes), $149 (1,000 minutes), or $299 (2,000 minutes) per month, with a 7-day free trial, per the live pricing page rechecked 2026-09-23.
What happens when you exceed Rosie's included minutes?
Rosie's pricing FAQ answers it: you get heads-up emails as you approach the limit, and if you go over, Rosie moves you up to the next plan at that plan's standard price, with no per-minute overage. The plan stays at the upgraded tier until you move it back down, so on the $49 plan a busy month becomes a $149 plan.
Does Rosie book appointments during the call?
On Scale ($149) and up, yes, into your calendar with warm transfers available. The $49 Professional plan texts the caller a booking link instead.
Does Rosie charge for spam calls?
Rosie includes automatic spam detection on all plans, which is a genuine differentiator against per-minute human services that bill spam time.
What is the best Rosie alternative for contractors?
A contractor-configured per-call AI: OnCrew runs $49 to $349 per month with a published $0.99 per-call overage, trade intake, and urgent-call handoffs at every tier. See the OnCrew vs Rosie comparison.
How is OnCrew different from Rosie for contractors?
OnCrew is contractor-specific with handoffs and full transcripts at every tier including $49, per-call billing with a published overage, and a 14-day trial.

At the practical contractor price point ($149 both), the comparison is intake quality on your hardest emergency call.
Where to start
If you are evaluating Rosie pricing for a contractor shop:
- Pull your last 90 days of call records: count, timing, average length, and whether you need in-call booking and transfers.
- Price Rosie at the tier that has the features you need (usually Scale, $149) and at your busiest month's minutes, since going over moves you up a plan.
- Price OnCrew at your real call count: $49/$149/$349 with $0.99 per-call overage published.
- Run both trials (Rosie 7 days, OnCrew 14) on the same week of real calls and compare emergency-intake transcripts.
