Fasrad as a Sameday alternative

Sameday is a focused AI customer-service rep for home services — HVAC, plumbing, pest, roofing — that answers calls 24/7 and writes booked jobs straight into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldRoutes, or ServiceFusion. It's YC-backed and markets a 'books over 92% of jobs' figure (their number, self-reported; independent reviews are essentially nonexistent either way). People go looking for a Sameday alternative when they read the pricing page closely.

As of mid-2026 that page says: Launch from $449/mo with a 500-minute monthly cap across up to three locations; Scale from $789/mo at 1,000 minutes; Enterprise — custom-priced — is where multilingual support, API access, and custom integrations live. Note what the cap means for this industry: your call volume peaks exactly when a heat wave or a cold snap hits, so the meter runs hardest in the month you can least afford to ration the phone. The 'from' on both prices, and the FSM dependence — outside the supported list, you're negotiating Enterprise — are the other fine print.

Where Fasrad goes further:

What Fasrad is not: an FSM-integrated dispatcher. It won't write a ticket into ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro, it doesn't make outbound calls or send SMS follow-ups, there's no AI dispatcher optimizing routes, and it can't hand a live caller to a human tech. If your operation runs on ServiceTitan and the whole point is jobs appearing in the board your dispatchers already work, that's Sameday's home turf — buy accordingly.

If, instead, you need every call answered around the clock, the job booked onto a calendar your office actually checks, the customer history kept for you, and the same receptionist covering the website form-fillers and email inquiries you currently lose — Fasrad does that for a flat fee, with no one counting your minutes during the heat wave.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really a Sameday replacement?

If you're on ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro and need booked jobs written into the FSM your dispatch board runs on, no — that integration is Sameday's core and Fasrad doesn't have it. If you're a smaller shop without an FSM (or with one you wouldn't miss), yes: every call answered 24/7, jobs booked mid-call, customer history kept, plus web chat and email — for a flat fee instead of a metered 'from $449'.

Is there a minute cap?

No. Fasrad is a flat subscription with no per-minute metering. Sameday's published plans cap at 500 minutes (Launch) and 1,000 minutes (Scale) per month — and home-services call volume spikes exactly when the weather does, which is when a cap costs you.

Can it actually book jobs during the call?

Yes — it triages the call ('do you smell gas?'), offers a real window, and locks it in before the caller hangs up. The booking goes onto the agent's own calendar with the address and issue noted, and the contact plus transcript land in its CRM. What it doesn't do is push that job into an FSM — see the honest part above.

What happens after each call?

Contact, summary, and full transcript are auto-filed in the built-in CRM, and the appointment sits on the calendar. When the same customer calls next season, the agent already has the house, the system, and the history.

Do we keep our company number?

Yes. Forward your existing line — after-hours only, overflow only, or full-time — or use the dedicated number Fasrad gives you. The number on your trucks doesn't change, and setup takes minutes.

How much does it cost?

$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime Sameday's pricing page (as of mid-2026) starts Launch at $449/mo for 500 minutes and Scale at $789/mo for 1,000, with API and custom integrations reserved for custom-priced Enterprise. Fasrad is one flat fee, unmetered, and it includes the web chat and email handling Sameday doesn't offer at any tier.

We're not in home services — does it still fit?

Yes. Sameday is built for the HVAC/plumbing/pest vertical; Fasrad is a general receptionist. The same agent answers for a locksmith, a landscaper, a clinic, or your side business — you write the greeting, the service area, and the booking rules.
