Verbatim public reviews, praise and complaints both, each linked to where it was posted. We do not edit or cherry-pick for tone.
Abby Connect
4.7/5 · 74 reviews“The interaction feels natural, smooth, and human. Callers genuinely feel like they're speaking with a live receptionist rather than a robotic automated system.”
“Maybe pricing for the upgraded plans could be less costly.”
“They have superior Technology with the AI receptionist and it sounds and speaks fast without long delays”
“I didn't like the pricing once you go through all the benefits of the product.”
Contractor+
4.7/5 · 114 reviews“I love how Contractor+ helps me stay connected with my clients and their needs more effectively than other customer management systems.”

“The software is incredibly easy to use, allowing me to get started within ten minutes.”
“I find it frustrating that the pro version of Contractor+ does not include Zapier integration by default, which is important for integrating other software”
