    What does Revin do?

    Revin answers calls and texts, identifies intent and books appointments into your CRM or field service software, for trades including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, home improvement and roofing (Revin). It describes a hands-on model with a dedicated AI engineer rather than off-the-shelf software. Revin also publishes guidance on reactivating aged remodeling leads with an outbound agent that follows up repeatedly and hands interested prospects to human closers (Revin blog). Pricing isn't published.

    How is Setterly different?

    Setterly works by text only, which suits homeowners who don't answer unknown numbers and prefer to reply when it suits them. It's priced per booked appointment with no setup fee and no retainer, so you know your cost per appointment from day one. And it covers automotive as well as home improvement.

    If you want AI on your phones as well as your backlog, Revin's broader scope may suit you. If your priority is turning old leads into appointments with a simple pricing model, Setterly is built for exactly that. See AI appointment setter.
