- Live in minutes. Add your website and your agent learns your services, hours and prices in about a minute. No onboarding calls, no waiting weeks.

How to choose
- Low call volume or tight budget: CallEez starts lowest at £19.
- Lots of calls and you want one flat price: unlimited plans like Hey Jodie (£49) or Fasthosts Unlimited (£99) may suit you better.
- You want it all set up for you: ARROW.
- You want real people answering: Moneypenny.
- Good to know: CallEez bills by the second. Unused minutes don't roll over, and top-ups are 28p a minute. Some rivals count calls instead of minutes, so compare on your own call volume.
