Your estimated monthly bill
your estimated billthe vendor's lowest starting price, required plans included
Estimates use each vendor's published plans as of 2026-10-30. Each bill is the full monthly cost to get call answering running, including any plan, seat or phone number the vendor requires first (for example, Jobber's Core plan). Taxes, one-time fees and optional extras aren't included; each vendor page lists them. For Goodcall we assume 1.5 calls per unique customer, Goodcall's own ratio. Names on the board link to our own vendor pages, not to the vendors.
Why handyman work is different
Handyman work is many small jobs: a door that sticks, a leaking faucet, a list of fixes before a move. Most calls are quote requests and scheduling, and each one can be a separate small job, so call count matters more than call length.
These starting numbers are examples, not survey data from your business. Replace them with a month from your phone log.
Where these starting numbers come from
- Calls a month: 125, the middle of the 70 to 180 a month that SubCall's contractor call volume benchmarks list for handyman teams of 2 to 5 people Reported.
- After hours: 20%. SubCall gives no after-hours figure for handyman work; we used the middle of its 15 to 25% for general contracting, the closest trade it lists Unverified.
- Call length: 3 minutes, rounded from the 2.9-minute average for home services calls in CallRail's study of 100 million calls (August 2020) Reported.
- SubCall sells an AI receptionist and says its ranges are aggregated from public marketing benchmarks and trade association reporting, not measured averages.
