Why Dependify Costs More — And Returns 10×
Rosie is cheaper. We'll be the first to say it. But “cheap” and “effective” aren't the same thing. Here's what the numbers actually look like.
The Rosie Path
- $299/mo gets you phone + SMS only — no Instagram DMs, no web chat, no multi-channel intake.
- No human escalation. Complex calls get a voicemail — the exact problem you're trying to solve.
- No HIPAA. Dental and MedSpa practices can't legally use it for patient-adjacent calls.
- Generic AI trained on Google profile — not on your business rules, qualification criteria, or industry.
- No dedicated product pages per niche. One-size-fits-all means one-size-fits-none.
The Dependify Path
- 5 AI agents (CLARA, MARCUS, Triage Pro, The Revisitor, Reputation Guard) + 4 full platform products.
- Multi-channel: Phone, SMS, Instagram DMs, Web Chat, Google Messages — all 5 covered simultaneously.
- Instant Telegram escalation to your team with full call context — no complex call hits a dead end.
- Industry-specific AI trained on HVAC, Dental, PI, Roofing, and MedSpa qualification rules.
- ROI Calculator proves 10× return in most cases — $997/mo pays for itself within the first 3 days.
