The math · what the money covers

Bought one at a time, an answering service, field-service software and a review app run $890.50 to $2,073 a month. Together they cover about 41 of these 90 lines, and someone in your office still runs them.

Only Standing PilotAlso in one of the three tools

Our count, generous to the tools: a line counts if any plan or add-on of that kind of tool can do it. 41 of the 80 lines we install at setup aren't in any of the three.

Published list prices for each kind of tool, checked October 2026; ranges cover plan size and your quote may differ. Those tools still need someone in your office to run them. Standing Pilot connects to your accounting software; it doesn't replace it. Each bar shows the high end against $2,500.

Change due: your evenings.
