Ordered by cheapest paid plan, GST added where prices are ex-GST. Checked 19 October 2026. Trials change often, so confirm on the vendor's site before you sign up.
Getting the most from a trial
- Forward real calls to it for a few days, not just test calls from your own phone.
- Ring it as a difficult customer: a strong accent, a vague request, someone who wants a person.
- Check the summaries it sends you, and whether bookings land in your calendar or job software.
- Note when the trial ends and whether it rolls onto a paid plan automatically.
