The CRM where the AI receptionist is built in — not bolted on
Every missed call during a showing is a lead someone else answers. On My Roost CRM's Ultimate plan, a 24/7 AI voice receptionist answers on your number, qualifies the caller, books the appointment on your calendar, and logs the whole conversation on the contact — because it lives inside the same CRM that knows who's calling.
Full app, sample data, no sign-up. Plans $99–$399/agent/mo, 30-day money-back guarantee.
| My Roost CRM | Standalone AI answering services | |
|---|---|---|
| Context on the caller | It's your CRM — the receptionist sees the contact, their history, and their deal before it says hello. | A separate tool answering cold; context depends on whatever integration you wire up. |
| Booking | Books directly onto your Roost calendar and booking pages; the appointment and call log land on the contact. | Usually books into a separate calendar tool, then syncs (or doesn't). |
| Follow-up after the call | The call updates the contact's temperature and tomorrow's who-to-call list automatically. | You read a transcript email and do the CRM entry yourself. |
| Cost structure | Included in the Ultimate plan ($399/agent/mo, published, 30-day guarantee) alongside the whole CRM + marketing suite. | A second monthly subscription on top of your CRM. |

Honest scope
The AI receptionist is an Ultimate-plan feature — it's not on Basic or Premier, and we say so everywhere rather than burying it in fine print. If all you want is phone answering with no CRM, a standalone answering service may be cheaper; Roost makes sense when you want the call, the contact record, the booking, and the follow-up to be one motion.
Common questions
Which plan includes the AI receptionist?
Ultimate, at $399 per agent per month — published on the pricing page, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Basic and Premier do not include it.
Does it use my existing phone number?
Calls run on your Roost number; you can forward your existing line to it so callers never learn a new number.
Can I hear it before buying?
The live demo shows the full app today; ask us for a receptionist walkthrough when you request access and we'll set one up on a real call.
How does it compare to hiring an ISA or answering service?
Human ISA services and answering plans are commonly quoted anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars a month depending on coverage — check current rates for your market. Roost's receptionist is included in Ultimate ($399/mo total, published), answers 24/7 on your number, and writes everything it learns straight onto the contact record. Different tools; run your own math on coverage hours.
