Every listed rate and your calculation

Minutes = calls × average call length. Different callers = calls minus the estimated repeat calls. Use your phone log to replace these assumptions. Only count calls you would send to the service.

Costs exclude taxes, carrier fees, optional tools and human escalation. Calendar integration, staff permissions and your contract may require a different plan. Unknown overage prices remain open.

Choosing for your business

Rosie is evaluated as a receptionist service. Sona is part of the Quo business phone workspace, so the AI bundle is only one part of its subscription.

The short answer

Consider Rosie when you want a receptionist alongside your existing phone setup and need its documented booking tier. Consider Sona when you also want Quo as your team phone workspace and its documented intake or routing scope is sufficient.

Consider Rosie when

Your priority is receptionist handling with plan-dependent direct booking, alongside the phone arrangement you already use.

Assumptions: 3 minutes per call, 25% repeat calls, one business and monthly billing. Distinct callers round up. The calculator selects an eligible listed plan; it does not assume a missing overage price. Required known subscriptions are included; unknown totals stay unpriced. Taxes, carrier fees, optional extras and separate setup fees are excluded. These are cost models, not call tests or binding quotes.

How to make the choice

Include the underlying phone subscription

A Sona bundle price does not establish the cost of running Quo for your team. The model includes one recorded monthly Starter seat; more people or higher phone tiers can increase the total. Compare incremental cost for an existing Quo customer separately from the full cost for a business switching its phones.

Scheduling is not the same buying decision

Rosie documents direct calendar booking on eligible tiers. Direct calendar booking is not established for the Sona bundles in the checked catalogue. If completing appointments is essential, do not assume the Sona call allowance covers that action just because it covers answering and intake.

Minutes versus automated calls

Rosie consumes minute allowances while the recorded Sona bundles use AI-handled call allowances. The right estimate depends on both volume and duration. Also confirm which calls use the AI bundle when team members answer first or calls transfer between routes.

Shared workspace requirements can decide the shortlist

Number ownership, teammate access, messages and phone administration may be central to choosing Quo. Rosie solves a narrower receptionist decision. Write down whether you are buying call coverage or replacing the whole team phone system before comparing the bills.

Pilot the handoff into the team

Test one unanswered call, one contact that a teammate later returns and one transfer outside working hours. Inspect how the team finds the summary and who takes responsibility. If direct booking is required, make that a separate acceptance check.

Rosie vs Quo Sona: questions

Is Sona free?

A zero-priced recorded Sona bundle still requires the underlying Quo subscription. Included usage is limited; compare the complete configuration.

Does Sona have the same direct-booking evidence as Rosie?

No. The checked catalogue establishes plan-dependent booking for Rosie, while direct booking on the selected Sona bundles remains unconfirmed.

Can an existing Quo customer compare only the added AI cost?

Yes, for an incremental budget. A new customer should include all required phone seats and distinguish that total from the AI-only increment.

Recommended: documented fit, then customer feedback. Price availability does not affect the order.

Our order. Our funding.

What determines the order?

With existing software selected: documented task-compatible connections come first; offers requiring a different business platform are hidden. Unconfirmed connections are available through a separate opt-in. Recommended is the default: a labelled Promoted offer, when an eligible commercial contract is active, appears first. The highest confirmed commission in this filtered view determines that paid position. The editorial order follows documented software / industry fit, then customer feedback adjusted for sample size and product scope. Missing public pricing, amounts, price reports and price/value/feature awards do not change Recommended. Cost-only and name sorts do not pin paid offers. Customer feedback affects editorial ordering with explicit sample-size and product-scope adjustments; raw stars alone do not determine the order.

Named integration → industry workflow → industry mention → general candidate. These are source-evidence groups, not results of independent call tests.

Do we receive a commission?

We may earn a commission when you sign up through our Rosie, NextPhone, AI-Receptionist.com, Maple or OnCrew links. These affiliate relationships do not change editorial rankings, awards or customer ratings. No paid ranking placements are currently active. When commercial placements are activated, commission determines the clearly labelled Promoted position in Recommended, separately from editorial price/value/feature awards and review scores. Rates are compared as contract-confirmed USD payouts per qualified conversion over the first 12 months; unconfirmed percentages are not treated as dollar payouts.
