Volumes: 80 calls of 3 min (1 truck example); 200 calls of 3 min (2–3 trucks example); 450 calls of 3.5 min (4–6 trucks example), all calls answered Unverified. "Bills by" is each vendor's billing unit as its pricing page describes it. Price alone doesn't decide fit: check booking, integrations and contract terms on each vendor's page. Prices as published on each vendor's own page on 2026-10-30.
These bills come from the same calculation as the calculator, using each vendor's published plans as of 2026-10-30. Each bill includes any plan, seat or phone number the vendor requires before you can add call answering. Taxes, one-time fees and optional extras aren't included. For Goodcall we assume 1.5 calls per unique customer, Goodcall's own ratio. Vendors are sorted by estimated bill alone.
