A booking link is a job the caller still has to finish.
The caller who wanted to book on the phone gets a link to tap later, and later is where jobs die. AlwaysRespond checks your real calendar and confirms the slot before the caller hangs up, on every plan.
The plan price is published, and the AI keeps answering however busy the month gets.
The trade-offs
- $49 tier can't book during the call, SMS links only
- In-call booking and live transfer start at $149/mo
- Minute-based plans
- No dispatch, invoicing, payments, or review automation
