The average tradie loses $45,000 a year to missed calls. At $197/month, BackOnTools costs less than $7 a day. If it books you one extra job a month — which is conservative — it pays for itself many times over.

No. All plans are month-to-month, cancel any time with no cancellation fee. Your 14-day free trial starts the day your AI receptionist is built, connected to your number and live on your calls, not the day you sign up. Every feature is unlocked during the trial; after it, features gate to the plan you pick. We capture payment by SMS link after the trial, only if you keep it.
No. Setup is free. We configure the AI for your trade, load your price book, set your emergency rules, connect your calendar (Pro+), test it with real call scenarios, and get you live in 7 days — all included.
Foreman is the AI ops layer on top of your receptionist. It listens to every call, then tells you what to do next: who's a hot lead, what you're underpricing, which suburbs to advertise in, which callers sound frustrated (callback before they leave a 1-star). Daily voice briefing plays in the ute on the way to your first job. Included on every plan — Pro adds growth signals + Ask Foreman, Premium adds auto review requests and weekly strategy with Luigi.
Yes — upgrade any time and the new plan starts immediately. Downgrading takes effect at the end of your current billing month. If you're unsure which plan you need, start on Starter and upgrade once you see the call volume.
No setup fee, nothing charged today. Your monthly subscription only starts when you go live (within your 7-day setup window) and decide to keep it. We invoice via Stripe — pay by card. No surprise fees.
No. You get a dedicated AI number, and you forward your existing number to it. Callers dial the same number they always have. You can also choose to use the new number directly for ads or your website — many customers do both over time.
Call the demo line and hear the AI in action. Then book a 20-minute chat and we'll work out which plan fits your business.
In partnership with Maison Turco
We've partnered with Maison Turco, the studio behind our own brand, on a website built for BackOnTools customers. It ships pre-wired to your AI number, so every call button, callback and form on the site rings the receptionist that answers, books and quotes. A proper site that books jobs while you're on the tools.
A separate partner edition · pricing on application
Website plus the receptionist that answers it.
One number, one system, nothing left in a dead inbox.
