One captured job pays for months
You're not buying software — you're buying back the jobs that walk while you're on a call.
How much is a job worth to your business — $300? $500? $600+? Capture one you'd have lost and CallGrabbr pays for itself for months.
Less than 40% of a human answering service (from $235/mo) · Basic from $99/mo · Overage $0.22/min beyond included minutes · call counts are estimates (~3 min avg), not guaranteed leads
Best fit: Basic for missed & after-hours lead insurance · Growth when you want every-call coverage. Minutes included are listed on each plan card.
Try it with real calls first
Forward your line for 14 days with 40 real call minutes (14 days or 40 call minutes — whichever comes first). Your phone rings first — set a delay so we only pick up when you can't answer, or have us answer every call if you prefer. If it doesn't capture a lead you'd have lost, don't pay.
14 days or 40 call minutes — whichever comes first. No card required. One trial per business number.
When either limit hits, answering pauses until you choose a paid plan. Most one-truck shops continue on Basic at $99/month.
Basic = missed & after-hours lead insurance. Growth = every-call front-desk coverage. Included call counts are estimates (~3 min/call), not guaranteed leads. Ready to go live? Subscribe with 30-day money-back guarantee. 30-day money-back guarantee on paid subscriptions, not the free trial.

Why not the $49 tools?
Cheaper tools answer phones. Basic is built to capture trade jobs — and text the caller back — so you can sell the call back, not read a transcript.
Revenue capture — not a receptionist seat
Most shops compare us to voicemail (free, but most callers hang up) or a human answering service ($235+/mo). CallGrabbr is missed-call lead capture — ~$0.99/captured call at Basic lead insurance.
*Capture rates are typical industry figures for voicemail vs. answered calls — not CallGrabbr first-party results. Included call counts are estimates (~3 min/call), not guaranteed leads.
