PATLive's base plan gives you just 75 minutes — roughly 25 calls. Most contractors blow through that in a week. After that, every minute costs $2.19 and your bill spirals.
A single 15-minute emergency call costs $32.85 in overage. A busy week with 10 long calls can add $300+ to your bill. OnCrew starts at $49/mo with included calls and no per-minute billing.
PATLive's agents follow scripts but can't tell the difference between a no-heat emergency and a routine thermostat question. OnCrew is trained on contractor workflows and triages every call intelligently.
When a homeowner calls about a flooded basement at 2 AM, PATLive takes a message. OnCrew recognizes the emergency and alerts your on-call team — automatically, quickly.
PATLive's 75-minute base plan plus $2.19/min overage makes costs unpredictable. OnCrew stays flat at $49/mo.
