Verdict
Marlie is the only product on this page that names a way to get paid during the call. On the Pro plan at $199 it texts the caller a secure checkout link through Shopify or Square. It books into Google Calendar and Calendly, checks availability live, reschedules and cancels, and names a long list of trade and professional CRMs: Housecall Pro, Jobber, HubSpot, Clio, AgencyZoom, EZLynx, Buildium and Wealthbox. Minutes are cheap. $49 buys 250 of them, which on our arithmetic is under 20 cents a minute before overage.
What customers praise
Generous minutes and a printed overage on every plan: $49 for 250, $99 for 500, $199 for 1,000 and $399 for 2,000, with $0.35 to $0.25 a minute after. The 14 day trial asks for a card with $0 due. The plan table says exactly what each tier can do, from 1 action per call on Basic to unlimited on Pro, which is the clearest statement of capability on this page. It names four restaurant and service customers on its pricing page.
What customers criticise
Basic, the $49 plan, books nothing and transfers nothing: 1 action per call and no call transfer. Booking needs Standard at $99. No compliance standard is named, only enterprise grade security, so a clinic should look elsewhere. Outlook is claimed on the homepage but missing from the calendar integrations. The legal entity is A 99 PCT Jesus LLC and no headquarters or founding year is stated, which makes it the hardest company here to check.
Best for
A trades, towing, restaurant or local service business that wants calls booked into Google Calendar or Calendly and, on the Pro plan, a Square or Shopify checkout link texted to the caller.
