## Overview

### Who Uses AI Employee?

We serve local trades and service businesses—plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians, painters, landscapers—helping them turn missed calls into booked jobs.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Sunbury Systems

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: US$397.00
- **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: When we set out to design AI Employee, the goal was simple: create a reliable “front desk” for local service businesses that’s affordable, predictable, and delivers more value than it costs. Many trades businesses struggle with missed calls, voicemail dead-ends, and lost leads. Every one of those missed opportunities costs money — and often, the owner doesn’t even realize how much.

Instead of charging a complicated fee structure, we decided to keep pricing flat and simple: $397/month. Here’s why that number makes sense.

1. It’s Cheaper Than Hiring Staff

Hiring even a part-time receptionist can cost $2,000–$3,000 per month (wages, taxes, benefits). A full-time front desk employee can easily run $40,000–$50,000 a year. With AI Employee, you get a “virtual employee” that never calls off, never takes breaks, and works 24/7 — for less than 20% of that cost.

2. It Pays for Itself with 1–2 Jobs

For most contractors, the average job is worth anywhere from $200 to $1,500+. By catching just one or two calls you would have missed, AI Employee covers its monthly cost. Most of our clients average 4–5 extra booked jobs per month, which makes the return on investment immediate.

3. Transparent, Predictable Pricing

We don’t believe in “pay-per-lead” or hidden add-on charges. Those models can get expensive fast, and they leave business owners feeling like the costs are out of their control. Instead, AI Employee is flat-rate, month-to-month — no setup fees, no contracts. You always know exactly what you’ll pay, and you always control whether to continue.

4. Packed With Real Value

For $397/month, here’s what’s included:

24/7 call answering and text response → no more missed calls or voicemails ignored.

Automatic appointment booking → jobs get added directly to your calendar.

Missed call text-back → customers feel taken care of instantly, even if you’re on a ladder or under a sink.

Google review requests → done automatically after each job, helping you build online reputation and show up higher in local searches.

Simple setup + local support → no long onboarding or hidden costs.

This isn’t just call forwarding — it’s a fully functional employee that runs reliably in the background while you focus on the work.

5. Why $397 and Not Less?

Some ask: why not $97 or $197? The reason is simple: this isn’t a gimmick tool — it’s a business-critical system that replaces what you’d otherwise pay thousands for. We priced it where it’s still affordable for small, local businesses, but sustainable enough to keep providing high-quality support and improvements long-term.

Plus, pricing it at $397 keeps you invested — you’re not signing up for another “cheap app” you’ll forget about. You’re investing in a system that directly grows your business month after month.

6. Flexibility Without Risk

Unlike hiring staff or signing with an answering service that locks you into contracts, AI Employee is month-to-month. That means:

No long-term commitment.

No penalty for canceling. We only ask for a 60 day notice (for your benefit).

Try it risk-free.

If it’s not adding value, you don’t continue. It’s that straightforward.

The Bottom Line

At $397/month, AI Employee gives you the power of a full-time front desk without the payroll, overhead, or headaches. For less than the cost of a single lost job, you get:

More booked appointments,

Better customer response times,

A stronger online reputation, and

Peace of mind knowing your phones are always covered.

For most contractors, it’s not a cost — it’s an investment that pays itself back several times over. That’s why we priced it the way we did.
