Sameday (gosameday.com) is one of the few AI phone agents built only for the trades, and unlike many rivals it does publish starting prices: when rechecked 2026-07-12, the official pricing page listed Launch starting at $449 per month with 500 voice minutes and Scale starting at $789 per month with 1,000 minutes, with Enterprise custom-quoted above roughly 6,000 minutes. Those are "starts at" numbers attached to a minute slider, and the fine print has moved around: prices are up 29 to 41 percent since mid-2024, and the "14-day free trial" and "no contracts" promises that used to sit on the page are gone. This guide covers the verified numbers, the minute math, and where the sales-agent design center does and does not fit a contractor phone line.

Featured answer
Sameday AI pricing in 2026: Launch starts at $449/month with 500 voice minutes and Scale starts at $789/month with 1,000 minutes (rechecked 2026-07-12 on gosameday.com); Enterprise is custom. No overage rate is published. Contractor AI answering alternatives with per-call plans (OnCrew is the example we publish) run $49 to $349 per month with $0.99 per-call overage.
What Sameday is (and is not)
- Sameday is trades-only AI: built by home-service operators (YC Winter 2023 batch), sold to commercial cleaning, window cleaning, HVAC, roofing, solar, pest control, and plumbing businesses, with native integrations for ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldRoutes, and Service Fusion.
- It is sales-agent-first: the homepage leads with "AI that books over 92% of jobs," and the product line runs AI Receptionist, AI CSR, AI Dispatcher, and AI Salesperson, including outbound follow-up campaigns, membership sales, and upsells. The design center is revenue on the call, not just message-taking.
- It is not entry-level: the published floor is $449 per month for 500 minutes, which works out to about $0.90 per minute at the starting allotment, and advanced items (API access, multilingual voices, payment integrations) sit in the custom-priced Enterprise tier.

Sources: gosameday.com/pricing rechecked 2026-07-12; Wayback Machine snapshots of the same page from July 2024, May 2025, and May 2026. The mid-tier figures quoted by the page's own pricing slider (for example, roughly $1,125/month at 1,500 minutes and $2,100/month at 5,000 minutes) come from the page's embedded calculator, so treat them as indicative and get a written quote.
The price history buyers should know
The July 2024 pricing page showed Launch at $349 and Scale at $559 per month, with "14-day free trial" and "No contracts. No additional fees." on the page. By May 2025 the prices were $449 and $789, a 29 and 41 percent increase respectively. By 2026 the trial and no-contract language had been removed entirely, so current trial, contract, and setup terms are simply not published. Review sites still repeating "$349/month with a 14-day trial" are citing stale information; confirm terms in writing before you sign.
Real monthly math
For a contractor shop fielding 130 calls a month at a typical three minutes per call, that is roughly 390 voice minutes: inside Launch's starting 500 minutes, so plan on $449 per month at the published floor. The same volume on a per-call plan is a different bracket: OnCrew runs $49 plus $0.99 for each of 30 calls over the Starter allotment ($79 total), or $149 all-in on Pro with 400 included calls. A multi-crew operation pushing 1,500-plus minutes should model Sameday's slider quotes (roughly $1,125/month at that volume) against per-call math at the same call count.
How much does Sameday AI cost per month?
Sameday cost per month in 2026: from $449 (Launch, starts with 500 voice minutes) or $789 (Scale, starts with 1,000 minutes), per gosameday.com/pricing rechecked 2026-07-12, with custom Enterprise pricing above roughly 6,000 minutes. No overage rate, trial, or contract terms are currently published. Comparable published AI answering for trades runs $49 to $349 per month on per-call plans.
Published per-call alternatives for contractors
| Vendor | Plan | Billing unit | Included | Overage | Total monthly at 130 calls |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OnCrew | Starter | per call | 100 calls | $0.99 per call | $49 + ($0.99 x 30) = $79 |
| OnCrew | Pro | per call | 400 calls | $0.99 per call | $149 (no overage at this volume) |
| Sameday | Launch | per minute allotment | 500 minutes | not published | $449 at the published floor |
OnCrew publishes every rate and is configured for contractor trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing intake, urgent-call handoffs with full transcripts, 14-day free trial. Per-call billing means a long emergency call costs the same as a short one.
When Sameday is still the right choice
An honest read of where Sameday wins:
- Sales-forward home-service operations: if you want the AI actively selling memberships, upselling packages, and running outbound follow-up until a lead books, that is Sameday's entire design center, and no receptionist-style product matches it.
- FSM-native shops: deep ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldRoutes, and Service Fusion scheduling integration on every plan, with jobs booked straight into the board.
- Multi-location trades businesses at 1,000-plus minutes a month, where the per-minute economics improve and voice cloning and unlimited locations (Scale) start to matter.
Worth weighing on the other side: every published performance stat (92 percent booking rate, $1.25B sold, 96 percent satisfaction) is self-reported, and we could not find a single third-party review; the G2 seller profile showed zero reviews when checked, with no Capterra or Trustpilot listing found.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sameday publish its pricing?
Partially. Launch ("starts at $449/month") and Scale ("starts at $789/month") are published with starting minute allotments on gosameday.com/pricing (rechecked 2026-07-12); exact pricing at your volume comes from a slider, and Enterprise is quote-only. No overage rate is published.
Does Sameday have a free trial?
Not that it currently advertises. A 14-day free trial was on the pricing page through May 2025 and has since been removed, so ask sales for current trial and contract terms in writing.
How many minutes do the Sameday plans include?
Launch starts with 500 voice minutes and Scale starts with 1,000; a slider adjusts the quote up to roughly 27,000 minutes per month, after which everything is Enterprise territory.
Is Sameday an answering service?
It answers calls 24/7, but it is positioned as an AI workforce for the trades: receptionist, CSR, dispatcher, and salesperson, including outbound campaigns and upsells. Businesses that only want reliable pickup, intake, and a team handoff are buying more product than they need at $449 per month.
What should a small contractor use instead of Sameday?
If the published floor of $449 per month does not fit, compare per-call AI answering: OnCrew runs $49 to $349 per month with $0.99 per-call overage, contractor-specific intake, and a 14-day trial. See the OnCrew vs Sameday comparison.
How is OnCrew different from Sameday?
Design center and billing: OnCrew is answering-first contractor AI with published per-call tiers ($49/$149/$349 and $0.99 overage) built around intake, transcripts, and urgent-call handoffs. Sameday is sales-agent-first, minute-based, and starts at $449 per month.
Where to start
If you landed here comparing AI options for a trades business:
- Pull your last 90 days of call volume and average call length, then price Sameday's slider at your real minutes against per-call plans at your real call count.
- Ask Sameday for written trial, contract, setup, and overage terms, since none are currently published.
- For OnCrew that is $49/$149/$349 per month with $0.99 per-call overage and a 14-day free trial at oncrew.ai/lp/vs/sameday, or call the live AI demo line at (818) 578-4783.
