Miss a call on a job, and they call the next name.

Sign up, complete voice onboarding, and your AI receptionist goes live. The trial clock starts at that point. You get 14 days or the first 30 calls to try the selected plan before paid service begins. No card required for organic trials. Billing terms are shown before you start. You have 30 days from signup to complete onboarding and go live. If you don't get there, the signup expires on its own — nothing is charged and nothing is taken away, because the trial never started. Sign up again whenever you're ready.

Flex is $29/mo with 50 calls included, then $0.49/call. Volume is $79/mo with 200 calls included, then $0.29/call. A 100-call month on Flex is $53.50. See our full answering service cost comparison for how that stacks up.

It's what she does instead of taking a message when a caller has a real emergency.

You tell her what counts as one. She starts with a standard list — gas leak, gas smell, flooding, burst pipe, no heat, no AC, sparking, burning smell, smoke, sewer backup — and you change it to match your trade and how you work.

When she hears one, she doesn't ask what time works for you. Safety comes first: a gas smell or a CO alarm and she tells the caller to get outside and call 911 before anything else; water running and she walks them to the shutoff. Then she tries to reach you — or whoever's on call — on the number you gave us, right then, and stays with the caller while she tries. You set that behavior: emergencies only is the default, and you can change it. If you gave her an emergency timeframe and an after-hours fee, she quotes yours. She doesn't drift back into normal scheduling halfway through the call.

One thing to be straight about: we don't dispatch anyone. We have no trucks and no techs. The tech who rolls is yours. Emergency dispatch is her recognizing the emergency, doing the safety step, trying right then to get your person on the line, and keeping the caller steady while she does.

Monthly. Both plans are billed month to month, and your included calls reset each billing cycle. Email support@claudessa.com with any billing question.

No. Sign up, complete your onboarding call, and you're live. No setup fee, no onboarding charge, no hidden costs. Onboarding is on your schedule, within 30 days of signup.

If she hasn't booked you a job by the end of your trial, it stays free until she does. Genuine customer calls count; test calls, spam, owner calls, wrong numbers, and hangups or non-interactions do not count. A booked job means a caller agreed to an appointment or a dispatch you authorized. If you think she booked one and it's not showing up, reply to any email from us and we'll listen to the call.

Cancel anytime from your dashboard or by emailing support@claudessa.com. No contracts, no penalties, no questions asked. Your service continues until the end of your current billing period.

Any genuine inbound call that Claudessa answers counts as one call, regardless of length. A 30-second scheduling call and a 5-minute emergency triage both count as one call. Missed calls and calls you answer yourself don't count — and neither do test calls, spam, hangups, or non-interactions.

Claudessa answers from what you told us during your onboarding call. If a question falls outside your knowledge base, she takes a detailed message instead of guessing and offers to have you call them back. You can update your knowledge base anytime to add new answers.

Yes. You can port your existing business number to Claudessa, or use call forwarding from day one — no number change, no missed calls.
