Features

The whole front desk. None of the desk.

cheaply isn’t a voicemail with better manners — it answers, qualifies, books, and follows up like your best office manager, around the clock.

This page is about the half that answers your phone. cheaply also reads the systems you log into and tells you what moved — that half works differently and there’s no phone line involved.

Core feature

Answers every call, 24/7

A natural-voice AI picks up in your business’s name — nights, weekends, and every call you’d miss on the job. No hold music, no phone tree, no voicemail black hole.

  • Answers in a couple of rings, every time
  • Uses your business name and your greeting
  • Handles multiple calls at once — no busy signal
Core feature

Texts back missed calls instantly

If a call does slip past — or a caller hangs up — cheaply texts them within seconds and keeps the conversation going over SMS until the job is booked.

  • Text-back in seconds, not hours
  • Full two-way SMS conversations
  • Texting included on every plan
Core feature

Books the job for real

Not a message pad — a booking. cheaply checks your actual availability, offers real slots, and puts the job on your schedule with the details your tech needs.

  • Only offers slots that are genuinely open
  • No double-bookings — conflicts are checked at write time
  • Job type, address, and notes captured up front
Core feature

Follows up until it’s a yes or a no

The quote nobody replied to is money on the table. cheaply chases every open estimate and unanswered conversation until it’s a booked job or a clear no.

  • Automatic quote follow-up
  • Reminder texts cut no-shows
  • Every touch logged on the customer record
See it run

A missed call, rescued in under a minute.

This is the play cheaply runs all day: a call slips by, the text-back goes out in seconds, the details get collected, and the job lands on your schedule.
