Billed as a flat monthly fee per business that includes a pool of receptionist minutes, outbound texts and user seats, with per-minute overage after that.

Yes

Calls keep being answered past the allowance and extra minutes are billed at the plan rate, with usage emails at 80% and 100%; outbound texts, by contrast, pause at twice the allowance unless overage is enabled.

Partly

Every call is classified and sales calls can be ended on the spot, but the vendor does not say spam calls are excluded from the minute allowance, and flagged calls still land in the inbox.

Yes

It reads real availability, offers three spread times on the chosen day and books the slot for the service's length, then texts the caller a confirmation.

Yes

Transfers go to a named team member or any number with per-rule hours, and you write what the receptionist says to the caller first; no warm briefing of the person receiving the call is documented.

Yes

Separate schedules for outside business hours, chosen weekdays and date ranges change the greeting, answers and transfer rules, and the receptionist answers day and night.

Yes

You define urgency in your own words per scenario, and named team members get an immediate text and email even when their notification settings are off.

No

Hooroo supplies no human answering agents of its own; calls the AI cannot handle are transferred to your own staff or an on-call number, or left as a message in the inbox.

Yes

Name and number are always taken and you can add your own questions per scenario, and scenarios are written in plain English to qualify what each caller wants.

Yes

It is drafted from your website at signup and answers from your FAQs, business details and price list, though on the beta Natural model uploaded documents and web pages are not read yet.

Yes

The same receptionist answers inbound texts with the same scenarios, texts links mid-call, and sends a missed-call text-back that continues the conversation in writing.

Yes

Per-person notification settings give a short text with the gist of each call as well as email summaries, filtered to all calls or customer calls only.

Yes

Opening a call in the inbox gives the recording, the full transcript and a short written summary, and the transcript can also be attached to email summaries.

Yes

Google Calendar connects two ways so the receptionist avoids busy time, but the vendor's integration pages name no Outlook, Microsoft 365 or Calendly support.

Yes

Google Calendar connects two ways so the receptionist avoids busy time, but the vendor's integration pages name no Outlook, Microsoft 365 or Calendly support.

Partly

No native CRM integration is named; call, inquiry, appointment and invoice data reaches a CRM through webhooks, Zapier or the REST API instead.

No

The vendor's own answer about connecting other systems names only Xero, Zapier, the API, webhooks and MCP; trade platforms such as ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus and AroFlo are offered as one-time data migrations, not live integrations.

Partly

Setup and in-browser test calls cost nothing without a card, and once the number is issued there are seven days of real customer calls with no charge.

Yes

No card is needed to set up and test in the browser, but getting the receptionist its number — which starts the seven-day trial of real calls — requires picking a plan and adding a card.

Yes

Signup is self-serve from a website address, the receptionist drafts itself and most businesses finish in under half an hour; a demo call is offered but not required.

No

There is no setup or onboarding fee: concierge onboarding and migration of customers, sites and price list off another system are both free.

Yes

Billing is month to month with no lock-in and self-serve cancellation in the app; paying yearly is optional for 20% off and still cancellable, with access until the year ends.

Partly

You pick from a set of Australian voices (two dedicated ones on the beta Natural model) and can paste an ElevenLabs voice ID, but the vendor says custom voices are untested on real phone lines.

Partly

You can ring your own configured receptionist in the browser as often as you like before going live, and book a demo call, but no public demo number or recorded sample calls are published.

Yes

You keep your existing number and divert to the Australian mobile Hooroo issues, either all calls or only unanswered ones, with carrier-specific codes shown and the divert checked.

Yes

Sold only to Australian businesses: the receptionist's number is an Australian mobile, texting works only to Australian mobiles, and pricing is AUD with GST, with no US, Canadian, UK or EU offering named.

Partly

Trade-specific pages and example scenarios cover electricians, plumbers, HVAC, builders, cleaning, removalists, lawn care, pest control and locksmiths, but the setup is drafted from your own website rather than from shipped templates.

Partlyfrom Enterprise

One login can hold several businesses, but each takes its own plan, number and bill and shares nothing; pooled minutes across locations are quote-only Enterprise.

Yes

The receptionist drafts itself from your website and most businesses finish in about half an hour; free concierge onboarding and free migration are offered, and it answers once you divert your calls.

Partly

In-app chat on every page is answered first by an AI assistant that hands off to a Hooroo person on request, plus email; no phone support or published support hours for Pro and Complete, with 'a person to call' reserved for Enterprise.
