01Price check

What Posh charges, checked July 29, 2026

Posh's entry plan is $65.00 a month with zero receptionist minutes included, then $2.30 a minute. The old poshvirtual.com domain is no longer Posh's site: on July 29, 2026 it served a GoDaddy for-sale placeholder, so a quote or a link that still points there is out of date.

A call is a call whether it lasts 40 seconds or 6 minutes, 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

The same 100 calls, priced both ways

Posh's Chic plan is $65 a month with no minutes included, then $2.30 a minute. Assume a 4-minute call, which is a number you should replace with your own once you have a month of call logs. 100 of those calls is 400 minutes, so $65 plus $920, which is $985. On OnCrew Starter the same 100 calls is $49 because we price the call and not the clock. Change the assumption to 2-minute calls and Posh is $525, still on top of a plan that includes nothing. The direction does not turn over on any call length, but the size of the gap depends entirely on how long your callers talk, so run your own average.

03Where OnCrew differs

Why contractors compare Posh Virtual to OnCrew

  • 01

    Model pricing against real call volume

    OnCrew publishes included-call plans and $0.99 per-call overage after the plan limit. Confirm Posh Virtual's current billing unit, included usage, overage, bilingual terms, integrations, and add-ons before comparing monthly cost.

  • 02

    Test contractor intake before forwarding calls

    Run HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, estimate, warranty, and financing calls through both demos. Compare fields captured, transcript quality, caller context, and the amount of setup required before going live.

  • 03

    Compare urgent-call handoffs

    For no-heat, active-leak, electrical, and roof-damage calls, ask where the details go, whether a transcript is included, who receives the handoff, and what happens if no one acknowledges the message.

  • 04

    Verify bilingual coverage and terms

    If Spanish intake matters, confirm language coverage, setup steps, billing terms, transcript behavior, and handoff language in both products before choosing a plan.

  • 05

    Review the handoff artifact

    Ask each platform to show the exact message your team receives. OnCrew handoffs can include caller name, address, problem details, configured urgency flag, and transcript in the team channel you choose.

  • 06

    Compare setup scope

    OnCrew setup focuses on the contractor phone line, trade questions, coverage window, and handoff channel. Confirm Posh Virtual's current onboarding scope, script setup, and any account requirements for your workflow.

04How a call runs

How OnCrew handles a contractor call

The contractor phone workflow to compare against a live receptionist setup.

  1. Call hits your business number

    Keep your number. Forward your line full-time, after hours only, or on overflow. OnCrew picks up calls when configured for that coverage window.

  2. AI greets and qualifies

    The caller hears a configured greeting in your business name. The AI asks contractor intake questions and captures name, address, problem, and callback context.

  3. Configured urgent-call review

    OnCrew can flag configured urgent categories such as no heat, active leaks, electrical hazards, and roof damage for team review. Routine calls queue for normal follow-up.

  4. Your team takes it from there

    Intake plus transcript lands in your chosen team channel. A person on your team calls back and decides next steps. OnCrew does not promise dispatch times or commit jobs on its own.

05Deep dive

Live receptionist workflow vs contractor phone line

Start by confirming Posh Virtual's current receptionist workflow, script setup, bilingual options, call summaries, integrations, billing model, and handoff options.

OnCrew focuses on phone pickup, contractor intake fields, transcripts, configured urgent-call flags, and team handoffs for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing lines.

Contractor intake to test in the demo

A contractor demo should include no-heat, active-leak, electrical, roof-damage, estimate, warranty, and financing calls. Compare what each product captures and where the handoff goes.

OnCrew can be configured around contractor call patterns. During evaluation, review captured fields, transcripts, handoff timing, and the team message a technician or owner would actually receive.

When Posh Virtual may fit the workflow

If your primary need is a live-receptionist workflow, verify whether Posh Virtual's current staffing model, script controls, bilingual options, and integrations match that need.

For a contractor phone line that needs pickup, configured intake, transcripts, and urgent-call handoffs, compare OnCrew against the current Posh Virtual quote and demo output.

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.”
