Rosie AI Pricing 2026: The Auto-Upgrade at Minute 251
Rosie AI pricing looks like the simplest card in the category: $49, $149 or $299 a month for 250, 1,000 or 2,000 minutes. The headline numbers are accurate. The part most comparison pages get wrong, or skip, is what happens when a month runs long. Rosie does not charge a per-minute overage. It moves you up a whole plan, and its terms explain how long you stay there.
One disclosure up front: NoMissedCall, which publishes this blog, sells an AI receptionist in the same price band, and Rosie is the competitor closest to us on minutes and on mobile apps. Read the comparison sections with that in mind. Every Rosie figure below comes from Rosie's own pricing page and terms of service, checked on 9 October 2026, and where Rosie beats NoMissedCall we say so.
Rosie AI pricing: the published card
From heyrosie.com/pricing as of October 2026. The annual column comes from the page's "Pay Annually" toggle, which Rosie labels "2 months free".
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Minutes / month | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | $49 | $41/mo, $490 billed yearly | 250 | Message taking (2 scenarios), booking links sent to the caller, automatic spam detection, website chat |
| Scale | $149 | $124/mo, $1,490 billed yearly | 1,000 | Calendar booking, warm and live transfers, texting during calls, 5 scenarios |
| Growth | $299 | $249/mo, $2,990 billed yearly | 2,000 | Waterfall transfers, custom training documents, white-glove onboarding, priority support |
Every plan includes native iOS and Android apps, 24/7 answering, simultaneous calls, 10+ voices, English and Spanish, call summaries with transcripts and recordings, and a Zapier connection, according to the same pricing page. Website texting is a separate add-on at $50 a month for 25 conversations, then $1 per extra conversation. There is a 7-day free trial on every plan, and the FAQ states there are no contracts and no cancellation fees.
Above 2,000 minutes, Rosie's terms of service describe a Custom plan priced by quote. Rosie does not publish that price, so neither do we. Some review sites list a higher fixed tier; we found no such tier on Rosie's own page.
What happens at minute 251
For months, this was the open question about Rosie. Earlier versions of this blog, including our Goodcall pricing breakdown, said Rosie did not publish a voice overage. That was what the page's raw HTML showed at the time, because the FAQ answer only appears once a browser runs the page's scripts. Opened in a real browser on 9 October 2026, the answer to "What happens if I go over my minutes?" reads, in part:
"If you do exceed your limit, we'll automatically move you up to the next plan - at that plan's standard price, never more. No per-minute overage surprises, no service interruptions, no missed calls."
The same answer says you get several warning emails as you approach the limit, that the plan "stays at the upgraded tier until you adjust it back", and that you can downgrade from the admin at any time. Growth customers who regularly pass 2,000 minutes are told to ask for a custom plan. Source: the FAQ on heyrosie.com/pricing, October 2026.
So Rosie has no overage rate in the usual sense. The step is the gap between plans: $100 to go from Professional to Scale, and $150 to go from Scale to Growth.
How long the upgrade sticks: what the terms add
The terms of service, last updated 5 February 2026, carry two clauses that matter more than anything on the price card. The first, in section 3(c), confirms the auto-upgrade: if a month's usage exceeds the plan's minutes, "Rosie will automatically upgrade the Subscriber to a higher Subscription Plan", and the subscription "will remain at the higher Subscription Plan on a go-forward basis, unless and until Subscriber downgrades".
The second sits in section 4(a), on fees. It says subscription changes that add fees "are effective immediately and apply to the then-current monthly billing period and at least the subsequent two consecutive billing periods". Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing period.
Read literally, those two clauses together suggest that one long month on Professional could commit you to Scale pricing for the current month plus at least two more. That would be up to three months at $149 rather than $49, or roughly $300 more for going a few minutes over. The FAQ's "downgrade anytime" language reads more loosely than the fees clause, and we cannot tell from the public pages which one Rosie applies in practice. This is our reading of a published contract, not legal advice. If it matters to your budget, ask Rosie in writing how the two clauses interact before you sign up.
The terms also show where the current model came from. Section 3(d) refers to "Legacy Subscribers" on an Unlimited Minutes subscription under terms dated before 5 February 2026. In other words, Rosie used to sell unlimited minutes and now sells capped tiers. Existing legacy customers can keep the old plan until they switch.
The rounding rule: why short calls cost more than they look
Section 3(c) of the same terms sets the meter: minutes are "billed in 60-second increments and calls are rounded up to the next 60-second mark", counted from when the call connects to the AI until it disconnects. That makes Rosie one of only two vendors we have found that publish a rounding rule. The other is RingCentral, which rounds up to 30-second increments, as we covered in our add-on pricing comparison.
Full-minute rounding hits businesses whose calls are short. An illustrative scenario, not a real customer: a salon takes 150 AI-answered calls in a month, each lasting 70 seconds. Actual talk time is 175 minutes. Each call rounds up to 2 billed minutes, so the meter reads 300, which is past Professional's 250 and into an upgrade. The same month at 55 seconds a call bills 150 minutes and stays inside the plan.
The practical advice is to forecast in calls, not minutes. Take the number of calls you expect the AI to handle and multiply by your typical call length rounded up to the next whole minute. If that number sits near 250, you are budgeting for Scale whether you pick it or not.
Genuinely good: where Rosie's model wins
Rosie's overage design has a real advantage that is easy to miss: the AI never stops answering. "No service interruptions, no missed calls" is the promise, and the auto-upgrade is the price of keeping it. For a business where an unanswered call means a lost job, that is a sensible trade. Voicemail is a weak fallback; Invoca's 2024 analysis of its own platform data found that fewer than 3% of callers pushed to voicemail leave a message.
The upgrade also buys more than minutes. A Professional customer moved to Scale gets calendar booking with Google Calendar, Calendly, Acuity and Appointlet, warm and live transfers, and texting during calls. Rosie's FAQ lists those calendar integrations as Scale-and-up. Whether that is worth $100 depends on whether you would have upgraded for the features anyway.
Other strengths on the card are concrete. Spam detection is on the $49 tier. Zapier is on every tier, so leads can flow into a CRM from day one. Setup is quick: the FAQ says Rosie trains itself from your Google Business Profile and website and that initial setup "can take as little as 10 minutes". The mobile apps are free and native on both platforms.
The trade-offs
The step is large relative to the overage. Ten minutes over on Professional costs the price difference to Scale, not ten minutes' worth. RingCentral's AI Receptionist, by comparison, starts at $49 for 100 minutes and charges $0.50 per extra minute, so ten extra minutes cost $5 there (RingCentral pricing, October 2026). Rosie's base allowance is much larger, so the comparison cuts both ways, but the shape of the risk is different.
Booking is the other gap on the entry tier. Professional sends the caller a booking link; the AI cannot put a job on your calendar until Scale. Custom message scenarios are capped at 2 on Professional and 5 on Scale.
Recordings have a short life. The FAQ states that every call is recorded and transcribed, and that "Recordings are automatically deleted after 30 days". If you rely on recordings for disputes or quality checks, you need a habit of downloading them.
Annual billing adds an unanswered question. The card shows annual prices, but neither the FAQ nor the terms we read say how an automatic upgrade works partway through a prepaid year. Ask before you prepay.

| Option | Entry price | What happens past the allowance | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rosie Professional | $49/mo, 250 min | Auto-upgrade to the next plan; 60-second rounding | heyrosie.com |
| Clara (heyitsclara.com) | $39.99/mo or $33.25 on annual | Advertises unlimited calls, "no per-call or per-minute charges" | heyitsclara.com |
| Goodcall Starter | $79/mo, 100 unique customers | 79 cents per extra unique customer; minutes not metered | goodcall.com |
| RingCentral AI Receptionist | $49/mo, 100 min | $0.50 per minute; 30-second rounding | ringcentral.com |
| PATLive (human) | $99/mo for 50 min | $2.29 per extra minute on that tier | patlive.com |
| NoMissedCall | Pro 250 AI min / Premium 500 | AI pauses until reset or upgrade; ring-first keeps ringing your phone | Help Center |
Clara here means heyitsclara.com, built by 44pixels Ltd; an unrelated getclaraai.com sells at a much higher price. Clara Pro is $69.99 a month or $58.25 on annual, with extra seats at $29 a month, as of October 2026.
A correction on Goodcall: Goodcall's pricing page changed after our 6 October post. The card on 9 October shows Starter at $79 for 100 unique customers then 79 cents each, Growth at $129 for 500 then 26 cents, and Scale at $299 for 2,000 then 15 cents. The per-agent wording and the $0.50 overage in our earlier post no longer appear. Use the live page, not our older numbers.
Rosie vs NoMissedCall at 250 minutes
NoMissedCall Pro also includes 250 minutes, so this is the comparison readers ask us about most. The two products make opposite choices at the limit.
Rosie keeps answering and raises the bill. NoMissedCall keeps the bill and stops the AI. Our Help Center states that at the limit "your AI pauses and callers hear a brief 'temporarily unavailable' message until your minutes reset", unless you upgrade to Premium. Ring-my-phone-first keeps routing calls to your own phone during the pause. That protects the budget, but the Invoca voicemail figure above is the honest cost of a paused AI. If you cannot afford a single unanswered call, Rosie's design is the safer one.
The meters also count different things. On NoMissedCall, only time the AI spends talking counts, and calls you answer yourself through ring-first use no minutes. Rosie counts from connect to disconnect with full-minute rounding. NoMissedCall does not publish a rounding increment on its Help Center, which is a gap on our side too.
Where Rosie beats NoMissedCall, plainly:
- A published dollar price. Rosie prints $49. NoMissedCall bills through the App Store and Google Play, where the store shows the current price.
- Spam detection on the entry tier. NoMissedCall's spam filters are a Premium feature.
- Integrations on every tier. Rosie's Zapier connection is on all plans; NoMissedCall's webhooks, API keys and REST API are Premium.
- More calendars and live transfers. Rosie's Scale tier books into Google Calendar, Calendly, Acuity or Appointlet and offers warm transfers. NoMissedCall's Calendar Sync is Google-only and on Premium, and our Help Center does not document a warm-transfer feature.
- More minutes at the next step. Rosie Scale has 1,000 minutes; NoMissedCall Premium has 500.
Where NoMissedCall differs: the agent speaks Spanish, German, French and other languages, against Rosie's English and Spanish (see our bilingual receptionist guide). Calls you take yourself are free. And the bill never moves without you choosing to upgrade. Whether that last point is a strength or a weakness depends on which you fear more: a surprise invoice or a missed call.
Who Rosie's pricing suits
Rosie fits well when your volume is predictable and sits comfortably inside a tier, when you want spam detection and Zapier from the first dollar, and when you would rather pay for an upgrade than miss a call. Scale is a strong plan for a business that books appointments by phone every day.
It is a weaker fit when you run close to 250 minutes with many short calls, because full-minute rounding can tip you over. It is also a weaker fit when you need recordings kept longer than 30 days, or when you plan to prepay a year without knowing how a mid-year upgrade works.
Before you choose any of these products, test it with your own forwarding setup; our call forwarding guide covers the carrier codes. For the wider field, see the best AI receptionist apps and our guide to plans with no per-minute charges.

What happens if I go over my Rosie minutes?
Rosie's FAQ says it automatically moves you up to the next plan at that plan's standard price rather than charging per-minute overage, and that the AI keeps answering. Its terms of service (updated 5 February 2026) add that upgrades apply to the current billing period and at least the next two. Ask Rosie in writing how that applies to you.
Does Rosie round call minutes up?
Yes. Rosie's terms of service state that minutes are billed in 60-second increments and calls are rounded up to the next 60-second mark, measured from when the call connects to the AI until it disconnects.
Can Rosie book appointments on the $49 plan?
Not directly. The $49 Professional plan sends the caller an appointment link. Direct booking into Google Calendar, Calendly, Acuity or Appointlet starts on the $149 Scale plan, according to the FAQ on Rosie's pricing page (October 2026).
How long does Rosie keep call recordings?
Rosie's pricing-page FAQ says every call is recorded and transcribed, and that recordings are automatically deleted after 30 days. You can delete them sooner yourself from the admin.
How is Rosie different from NoMissedCall at 250 minutes?
Both start at 250 minutes. Rosie upgrades you to the next plan when you go over, so the AI keeps answering and the bill rises. NoMissedCall pauses the AI until your minutes reset or you upgrade, while ring-my-phone-first keeps sending calls to your own phone. Details are in the NoMissedCall Help Center.
