Why pay $4,000/month for a receptionist?

A full-time receptionist costs $48,000+ per year, still takes holidays, and can only answer one call at a time. Hekto does the lot for $297/month.

Straight From The Tools

Tradies Don’t Sugarcoat It

I was losing at least three jobs a week to missed calls. Now every call gets answered, and I get a text straight away. Absolute game changer for my business.

My customers love that someone always picks up. They don’t even realise it’s AI — it sounds that natural. Best investment I’ve made this year.

Setup took about two minutes. Now I focus on the job site and check my leads when I’m ready. The dashboard makes it easy to follow up at the end of the day.
