Verdict
Pick Goodcall if your calls run long (quotes, intake, troubleshooting) and you want a predictable bill that does not grow with talk time. Goodcall starts from $79/mo, billed per unique caller. There is no free trial; you get a free demo agent until you connect a number.
Pick Rosie if you want minute-pool billing (from $49/mo), English and Spanish on every call, and native iOS and Android apps. Trial: Free trial, 7 days. Calendar booking and live/warm transfers need the Scale plan.
