Everything you need to know before getting started.
No. Every plan includes 24/7 answering — days, nights, weekends and holidays. After6 AI picks up whenever you can’t: after hours, on a job, on another line, or during a busy stretch. It works as an after hours answering service for contractors and as an everyday overflow line. You choose which calls forward to it, so you can send it everything or only the calls you’d otherwise miss.
After6 AI answers your calls, triages emergencies, books appointments and texts you a summary of every call. Appointments the AI books can be written to your Google Calendar, which we connect with you during onboarding. CRM setup and follow-up automation are not part of any plan; they are an optional paid add-on, quoted on request. If your business uses other scheduling or field-service software, contact us for a custom integration quote. See what connects today.
Each plan includes a monthly minute allowance: 300 minutes on NightWatch, 600 on FirstResponder and 1,000 on StormReady, which covers roughly 85, 170 and 285 typical calls. Spam and robocalls the AI ends within about 45 seconds do not count against your minutes. Extra minutes are $0.60 each, billed at the end of the month, and your calls are never cut off. Expecting more than 500 calls a month? Contact us and we will build a custom plan.
Most businesses are live within 5 to 7 business days of their discovery call. We handle the entire setup — you just show up for a 30-minute onboarding call.
StormReady is our premium tier for businesses with a larger on-call team — up to 5 escalation contacts (compared with 1 on NightWatch and 2 on FirstResponder), plus priority onboarding and setup, custom integrations, a revenue capture report, a monthly check-in call, and priority support. Contact us to find out if StormReady is the right fit for your business.
