What Jobholler does
Answers calls to a home-service business 24/7, asks intake questions, and passes caller details to the team for follow-up, with email summaries when configured.
Jobholler is an AI receptionist aimed at U.S. home-service contractors such as HVAC, plumbing, roofing and electrical businesses. It picks up calls around the clock on a business line that the owner configures, greets the caller using the business name, and asks a short set of intake questions. The answers, including caller name, phone number, address and the problem, are gathered so the team can review them and follow up. When email notifications are set up, call summaries can be sent to the business email address.
Customers keep their current number. Rather than porting it, the owner turns on call forwarding with their phone provider and sends calls to Jobholler. The vendor says this works with cell phones, landlines and business phone systems.
There are three plans. Starter is $85 per month and includes 1 dedicated AI receptionist line, call intake, email lead alerts and transcript-based lead scoring. Core is $149 per month and adds voicemail transcripts, Google review requests and a team dashboard. Pro is $399 per month, includes 3 dedicated lines, and adds advanced call routing, quick-book self-scheduling, seasonal weather-demand alerts, team handoff workflows, priority support and a custom greeting. Each plan begins with a 7-day free trial and no credit card is required. The pricing page says call length does not change the plan price. A 30-day call guarantee starts with the first paid month after the trial.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Keeps your existing business number through call forwarding, with no porting
- Starter plan at $85 per month covers 24/7 answering and call intake
- Free 7-day trial with no credit card required
- Call length does not change the plan price
Cons
- No permanent free plan is described, only a 7-day trial
- Annual per-month prices are not shown on the pricing page
- Advanced routing, self-scheduling and priority support need the $399 Pro plan
- Setup steps and timing depend on your phone carrier
- Platforms, integrations and API access are not stated
Our take
Jobholler fits small and mid-size home-service shops in the U.S. that lose calls when nobody can pick up and want caller details delivered to their inbox. The plan ladder is simple, and keeping your own number through forwarding lowers the switching effort. It is less suited to businesses outside the U.S. or outside the trades it names, and to anyone wanting a permanent free plan, since only a trial is described. Annual per-month prices are not shown, integrations and an API are not listed, and some features such as routing and self-scheduling require the $399 Pro plan. Setup timing also depends on your phone carrier.
