See pricing

Ro Rosie

From $49/mo including 250 minutes, with a 7-day free trial (as of June 2026).

Rosie’s base plan is a lot of minutes for the money if you only need basic answering, but it’s metered and adds overage beyond the bundle, and it’s deliberately simple rather than deeply integrated. MapleVoice is one flat price with no per-minute meter and deep, custom integration.
