Ordered by how the vendor connects to Jobber (native first, then through Zapier), then by score. Costs are each vendor's cheapest published plan for that volume plus its published rate past the allowance, at 3-minute calls; taxes, setup and add-ons are not included. The score weighs price, bill predictability, integrations (on this page: Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro), contract terms and spam billing; test-call scores are coming. How we rank.
Only vendors that document a Jobber connection are listed, native connections first. The home-services-only vendor in our data is included when it documents one.
A Zapier connection runs after the call. Zapier’s Jobber app lists actions that create a client, a request or a job, and the AI receptionists’ Zapier triggers fire when a call is completed, so a Zap can file the caller in Jobber once the call ends. It cannot check your schedule while the caller is still on the line; that takes a native connection.

What a Jobber connection should do
At minimum: create the client and a request with the address and the job description. Better: check availability and book a visit, and match a returning client instead of creating a duplicate. Ask each vendor which of those it does and show you a sample request as it lands.
What to check before you sign
- Whether the connection creates requests, books visits, or both.
- How returning clients are matched.
- Who maintains the connection, and whether Zapier is a paid plan for your volume.
- Which of the vendor’s own plans includes the connection.

Data changes for vendors on this list
- October 27, 2026: Upfirst: cancellation notice recorded as none. Its pricing FAQ says "You can cancel, upgrade, or downgrade anytime, no questions asked," the same strength as other cancel-anytime terms. Its setup-fee summary now reads "None stated": no page says there is no fee. No price changed.
- October 27, 2026: My AI Front Desk: the 1,000 monthly overage credits its pricing page lists as included ("Extra credits you get each month in case you go over your included usage") now count as 40 included minutes, so Business-in-a-Box covers 240 minutes before the $0.25 rate applies (was 200). Phonely: noted that its Professional plan card says 650 minutes and its comparison table 750; the card is used. Cost arithmetic: when two plans tie on their lowest cost, the one with the narrower range is chosen, so Phonely at 10 calls a day prices on Professional alone.
