Which one to choose
Choose Rosie if…
- You mainly want a low-cost way to catch calls, and you're happy to set it up yourself.
- You want Spanish on every plan, or a mobile app.
- Price per minute matters more than anything else.
Choose Wenly if…
- You want urgent rules and safety lines tuned to your trade from day one.
- You want a person checking each lead.
- You want a weekly report and a guarantee.
If you mainly want low-cost call catching and you're comfortable setting it up yourself, Rosie's published prices are hard to beat, and Wenly costs several times more per minute. What that difference pays for is the trade-specific urgent rules, a person on our team checking every lead, and a weekly jobs saved report backed by a guarantee. Done-for-you setup is available from us as an add-on. If those don't matter to you, Rosie is the cheaper choice.
Common questions
Why does Wenly cost more than Rosie?
Done-for-you ($249), Pro ($449) and Founding ($149) include human-reviewed leads. Starter ($99) includes booking, urgent rules, a weekly report and the guarantee, without human review. If you don't need those, Rosie's lower prices are a fair reason to choose it.
Does Wenly have a mobile app?
No. Leads reach you by text and email. Rosie lists native iOS and Android apps on every plan.
