No tiers, no "call for pricing." Here's the number — and the honest math on whether it's worth it.
Here's the number: $1,500 to build it, $500 a month to run it. It answers every inbound call, 24/7. And a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it doesn't catch at least 5 leads you'd have missed in your first 30 days, every dollar back.

Straight pricing
$1,500 one-time setup, then $500 a month — no tiers, no "call for pricing." Here's what that buys:
What "answers the call" means: it picks up on the first ring, sounds like a real person, qualifies the caller, gets the address and the problem, and books the appointment or texts you the job — inbound only. It's built to answer every inbound call so your callers stop hitting voicemail, and it never makes an outbound call on your behalf.
Founding-roofer note: $1,500 + $500/mo is the Charter price, genuinely capped at 5 founding roofing companies. Lock it and it's your price for life — when the 5 slots are gone, they're gone.
Cost vs. the alternatives
The question isn't "what's cheapest" — it's what actually turns a ringing phone into a booked job. It comes down to coverage and outcome, not the monthly line item. Ranges below are typical market ballparks, not guarantees.
| Option | Typical cost | Hours covered | What it does | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voicemail | Free | 24/7 | Records a message | In our 40-roofer study, 0 voicemails got a callback. Free — but it costs you the job. |
| Traditional answering service | ~$300–$800+/mo per seat | Often business hours (after-hours extra) | Takes a message, maybe forwards it | A message-taker — doesn't qualify or book. You still call back. |
| Full-time receptionist | Salary + benefits | Business hours only | Answers, qualifies, books — on the clock | Nights, weekends, lunch, sick days, storms → voicemail. |
| Collman AI receptionist | $1,500 setup + $500/mo | 24/7/365 | Answers, qualifies, books, and texts you the job — every inbound call | Inbound only. Capped at 5 founding roofers. |
One after-hours storm call that turns into a full re-roof covers the monthly cost many times over. That math is yours to run — see your own number on the revenue-leak calculator.
Is it worth it?
It's the re-roof you never knew called. We ran the numbers ourselves: our 40-roofer study mystery-shopped 40 Florida roofing companies after hours — 3 answered by a person, 1 by an AI, 36 went to voicemail, and 0 called back. That's 36 owners who paid for the lead and handed it to whoever picked up next.
And "I'll call them back tomorrow" doesn't cut it. A Harvard Business Review study of 2,241 companies found the average business takes about 42 hours to respond to a lead — the ones who answer inside the first hour are far more likely to win it. By tomorrow, your caller booked the guy who picked up.
The leak isn't in the roof — it's in your pipeline. So don't compare $500/month to zero; compare it to one lost job. Run your own missed-call number and see what your leak costs. If it's small, this isn't for you. If it's not, you already know.
And the tech isn't a science project: it runs on Vapi — the voice platform Amazon's Ring chose for 100% of its inbound calls, over a billion handled. Good enough for Ring's phones, good enough for yours.

Straight answers
$1,500 one-time setup plus $500 per month. That covers 24/7 inbound answering, qualifying, and booking. No tiers, no "call for pricing."
No long-term contract — it's month-to-month at $500. You also get a 30-day money-back guarantee, so the first month carries zero risk.
No. The deposit holds your founding slot and credits straight toward your $1,500 setup. It's the first $500 of setup, not an added fee, and it's refundable.
A great receptionist is excellent — during business hours, when they're not at lunch, out sick, or off for the weekend. The AI covers every inbound call 24/7/365, for less than a part-time wage, and never sends a storm-season caller to voicemail.
No. It's $1,500 to build it and $500/month to run it — that's the whole number. Setup is a one-time build trained on your company; nothing gets bolted on later without you knowing.
