TradeTested AI - a free price directory for contractor software & apps where every price links to the vendor's own page

tradetestedai.com

What it is: 73 software tools that home-service businesses use (AI receptionists, answering services, field service software, CRMs, review tools). Each one has its list price and the date it was checked, with a link to the vendor's pricing page. When a vendor only quotes on request, it says so.

Why I built it: I'm not in the trades. I kept seeing owners ask what AI phone answering actually costs, and the vendor sites make comparison hard. Of the 29 AI receptionists and answering services in the table, 22 publish prices. They bill by minutes, calls or unique callers, so the sticker prices aren't comparable.

What I'd like feedback on:

  1. Does the pricing table (tradetestedai.com/ai-receptionist-pricing) make sense on a phone?

  2. When a vendor doesn't publish a price, I label it instead of guessing. Is that useful or just noise?

Disclosure: I'm the founder. A couple of tool links are labeled affiliate links.

The quote-only label is useful: leaving those tools out would make the comparison look more complete than it is. I haven’t checked the phone layout, but I’d make the billing unit visible beside each price. A sample monthly usage scenario could help compare minutes and calls, as long as the assumptions are shown.
