Last updated: 18 October 2026. Avoca AI and Sameday both sell an AI customer service rep (CSR) to HVAC, plumbing and other home service companies that have outgrown a basic answering service. Both answer and book around the clock, both schedule into ServiceTitan, and both add outbound campaigns and call coaching on top of answering. The clearest difference for a buyer is pricing: Sameday publishes starting prices and minute allowances, Avoca sells through a demo only. Vendor sites rechecked 15 Oct 2026.
Verdict
Pick Sameday if you want a published starting price before you take a sales call, minutes and locations spelled out per plan, unlimited users, and pro scheduling into ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro. Its entry plan, Launch, is positioned for after-hours answering; the Scale plan is positioned for answering every call and adds unlimited locations and voice cloning.
Pick Avoca AI if you run ServiceTitan at scale and want a broader AI front office in one vendor: AI CSR booking, speed-to-lead, outbound SMS and call campaigns, Google Local Services Ads integration, web chat, call scoring and coaching. Avoca states it is a ServiceTitan Certified App and SOC 2 certified. Budget time for a demo, because no price is public.

Every row comes from our vendor data, refreshed whenever the directory is rebuilt. "Not published" means the vendor does not publish it or we have not recorded it.
Pricing
Sameday (sameday.ai/pricing, 15 Oct 2026): Launch from $449/mo (500 min, 3 locations); Scale from $789/mo (1,000 min, unlimited locations, voice cloning); Enterprise custom. No long-term contracts. The pricing page includes a minutes slider, so the "starts at" figures rise with the minutes you choose.
Avoca AI (avoca.ai, 15 Oct 2026): Avoca has no public pricing page, so our table's starting price reads Not published. Pricing comes from a 20-minute demo.
Sameday's published starting prices sit well above self-serve tools built for one-truck shops. Avoca's price is not public, so we cannot rank it until you have a quote. If you are comparing either one against an answering service or an in-house CSR, compare the fully loaded monthly cost and the booking rate you can verify on your own calls, not vendor case-study figures. The cost guide and AI answering service vs AI receptionist explain the trade-offs.
Features
- Answering and booking: Both answer 24/7 and book jobs. Sameday calls its scheduling "pro scheduling" into ServiceTitan and similar systems. Avoca books into ServiceTitan through what it calls a deep CRM integration, and also sells a Simple Scheduler for self-service booking.
- Emergencies: Avoca lists emergency escalation as a core feature. Sameday's record does not headline it (confirm on a demo).
- Outbound: Avoca sells speed-to-lead, outbound SMS and call drip campaigns, and win-back. Sameday sells campaigns and playbooks such as speed-to-lead, membership sales and reactivation.
- Coaching and analytics: Both score calls. Avoca markets Coach and Analytics; Sameday markets Coach and Insights.
- Phones: Sameday works with ServiceTitan Phones Pro or a forwarding number, so you keep your business number. Avoca answers forwarded or overflow calls.
- Lead sources: Avoca lists a direct Google Local Services Ads integration. Sameday's record does not.
- Multi-location and voice: Sameday includes 3 locations on Launch and unlimited on Scale, with voice cloning on Scale. Avoca says it runs across single- and multi-location operations.
- Industries: Both cover HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing. Avoca also lists auto repair, pest control, garage doors and more. Sameday also lists solar, landscaping, locksmiths and commercial cleaning.
Setup and trial
Neither vendor states a free trial; our records read Avoca Not stated and Sameday Not stated. Both onboard through a demo; Sameday says most customers can start taking calls in about 30 minutes after setup.
Demo lines: for Avoca, no public demo line in our data, but its site has a "Talk to our AI" option and our Avoca listing carries recorded call samples; for Sameday, no public demo line in our data.

How to choose in one minute

- Price Sameday on its own pricing slider at those minutes, then ask Avoca for a written quote at the same volume.
- On both demos, ask the AI to book a no-cool emergency and a routine maintenance visit into your actual ServiceTitan schedule.
- Choose Sameday for published pricing and simpler plans. Choose Avoca when you also want speed-to-lead, LSA and outbound from one vendor.
