Toolbelt Text vs per-text apps
Toolbelt Text's AI receptionist is a flat CA$199 a month: your business answered, a built-in calendar, and missed-call text-back included. No per-text fees, no setup fee. Every plan has a 7-day free trial, and a card is required. Solo (CA$49/month) and Pro (CA$99.99/month) are text-back only.
Some text-back tools charge for each text sent or received, on top of a monthly fee.1 Others send one automatic text and leave the rest of the conversation to you.2 Here's how a flat price compares.
To try missed-call text-back on its own, call (825) 479-6693 and hang up.
