Last updated: 18 October 2026. Dialzara and Rosie are two low-cost self-serve AI receptionists in our directory. Both bill from a monthly minute pool, both offer a 7-day free trial, and both target small businesses and trades. The differences sit in the entry allowance, how overage is published, and which features unlock on the first plan. Prices rechecked on both vendor pricing pages on 15 Oct 2026.

Verdict

Pick Dialzara if you want the lowest entry price of the two ($29/mo, Rosie starts at $49/mo), a per-minute overage rate printed on every plan, a public demo line you can call today, and outbound calling, SMS and website chat products for follow-up. Calendar sync, warm transfers and English plus Spanish answering start on its second tier, Business Pro.

Pick Rosie if you want a bigger minute pool on the entry plan, English and Spanish on every call from the first plan, native iOS and Android apps, and a website chat widget on all plans. Direct calendar booking and live transfers start on Rosie's second tier, Scale; the entry plan texts callers an appointment link instead.

Pricing

Dialzara (dialzara.com/pricing, 15 Oct 2026): Business Lite $29/mo (60 min, $0.48/min over); Business Pro $99/mo (220 min, $0.45); Business Plus $199/mo (500 min, $0.40); Business Elite $349/mo (1,000 min, $0.35).

Rosie (heyrosie.com/pricing, 15 Oct 2026): Professional $49/mo (250 min); Scale $149/mo (1,000 min); Growth $299/mo (2,000 min); annual billing gives 2 months free. Website chat is free with all plans; website texting is an add-on at $50/mo (25 conversations, then $1 each).

Dialzara's entry plan is cheaper but includes fewer minutes than Rosie's. Rosie's entry plan includes roughly four times the talk time of Dialzara's entry plan. That means the cheaper option on paper can become the pricier one once a business uses more than Dialzara's entry allowance in a month. Rosie does not print a per-minute overage rate on its plan cards in our snapshot, so ask before you commit. Pull last month's total talk time from your carrier and model both with the cost guide.

Features

  • Booking: Both put direct booking on the second tier. Dialzara lists calendar sync with Google and Outlook from Business Pro. Rosie books straight onto your calendar from Scale (providers not named on the pricing page), and its entry plan texts callers an appointment link. Dialzara's second tier costs less than Rosie's second tier in our snapshot.
  • Transfers: Dialzara offers blind transfers on its entry plan and warm transfers from Business Pro. Rosie lists live and warm transfers from Scale.
  • Languages: Rosie answers in English and Spanish on every call, on every plan. Dialzara lists bilingual English and Spanish answering from Business Pro.
  • Channels: Rosie includes a website chat widget on all plans and sells website texting as an add-on. Dialzara's pricing page (rechecked 18 Oct 2026) includes its website chatbot with voice plans up to a monthly session allowance, with a charge per extra session; its AI SMS agent and outbound voice plans are charged separately from the voice plans. Rosie does not state a chat session limit, so confirm the allowance on both.
  • Apps and editing: Rosie ships native iOS and Android apps and trains itself from your Google profile and website. Dialzara lets you edit your own prompt on its first two plans and includes custom prompt engineering on Plus and Elite.
  • After hours: Dialzara lists after-hours rules and escalation from Business Pro. Rosie answers 24/7 on every plan and adds waterfall transfers on Growth.
  • Integrations: Dialzara connects through Zapier and Make, with API access on Elite. Rosie lists Zapier plus calendar booking.
  • Multi-location: Dialzara names multi-location setup on Elite. Rosie's record names no multi-location tier.

Setup and trial

Rosie trains from your Google Business Profile and website, so setup is mostly reviewing what it learned.
