Dialzara's entry plan is priced below ours, and like ours it bills talk time: an allowance of minutes, then a per-minute rate. Its trial is 7 days against our 14. All four tiers and their per-minute overage rates are published on its own page.
Billed per minute of talk time
We read Dialzara's prices on October 2, 2026 and link to them rather than reprint them here. All four plans and their per-minute overage rates are on Dialzara's own pricing page.
Re-read October 2, 2026: all four plans and overage rates are unchanged since July 29, 2026, and the page says no contract, cancel anytime.

Billed per minute of answered calls
| Plan | Included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 60 minutes | $49/mo |
| Pro | 200 minutes | $149/mo |
| Multi-Truck | 500 minutes | $349/mo |
Minutes are added up over the month and rounded up once, not per call, and 2am costs the same as 2pm. OnCrew is young: a handful of contractors pay for it today, so treat this as a small company that publishes its numbers rather than a large one.
Worked example
Dialzara's entry plan is priced below our Starter, and both sell talk time: a fixed allowance of minutes, then a per-minute rate. Our Starter includes 60 minutes of answered calls, then $0.99 a minute. On their published rates their entry tier is the smaller line item at any call volume, and we would rather you knew that, so the choice comes down to the intake, the urgent-call handoff and the setup: run both against your own calls. Their trial is 7 days, ours is 14 and takes no card.

Abe
Founder, OnCrew · Los Angeles, CA
“I built OnCrew after watching my brother’s plumbing crew miss two urgent jobs in one night because their answering service kept callers on hold. Setting up your line takes about 10 minutes on your own. If you get stuck, reply to any OnCrew email and I’ll walk you through it. I won’t hand you off to a sales rep, and I read every refund request myself.”
