Pricing model
Pricing changes often and each tool prices differently (per seat, per minute, per call, or usage based). Rather than freeze a number that goes stale, we link straight to each vendor’s own pricing page so you see the current model at the source.
What customers say
Verbatim public reviews, praise and complaints both, each linked to where it was posted. We do not edit or cherry-pick for tone.
WorkWave
3.8/5 · 160 reviews“They always have enough Slingshot operators to answer the phones and generally don't miss calls. Love the ability to listen to call recordings and check for quality assurance.”
“I contacted their department 17 times before I received a refund when I was overbilled by several thousands of dollars. This is not ethical.”
“It's great to have evening and weekend phone coverage without hiring a full time person in house.”
“The operators are extremely inconsistent on the phones and frequently answered with the wrong business name, gave inaccurate pricing, and said we offered services we don't offer.”
Yardbook
4.1/5 · 46 reviews“Yardbook has streamlined our business operations, saving time and helping us stay organized.”
“I wish there were much more import features. I would like to import a list of properties that belong to one property management company.”
“The scheduling and invoicing features are exceptionally user-friendly and have simplified our workflow tremendously.”
“I don't see many new updates and none of these features have been added.”
