Compare it with the alternatives.

Every comparison here says where the other option wins, dates each figure it quotes, and links the source. Gonzo is one answer among several, and for some jobs it is the wrong one.

A website chatbot, or a system built around your inbox

Where your inquiries actually arrive decides it: a chat widget on your website, or a system that also covers WhatsApp and email.

The other option wins when: All your inquiries arrive through your website and your volume is modest; you want a product you configure yourself in an afternoon.

AI SDR platforms or a scoring-and-drafting engine

Published prices of AI SDR platforms and what they do, against an engine that scores a list and drafts disclosed outreach but never closes.

The other option wins when: You want a fully managed outbound motion with voice or large-scale automation. Our product does neither; you have the budget and a team to run an enterprise tool, and you need its integrations.

An agency retainer or a fixed-scope system

How an agency retainer is structured against a fixed scope: what you own, what can change, and how long it takes to go live.

The other option wins when: You need strategy, creative work, or a one-off custom build that a fixed-scope product cannot cover; you want a team that can change scope week by week.

Build it yourself with Zapier, Make or n8n, or buy it done

Zapier, Make and n8n prices, read from each vendor's own page on the date shown, against a fixed-price system, and whose time each one uses.

The other option wins when: You have one or two simple flows, such as form to spreadsheet to email; you or a colleague enjoy building and will keep the flows maintained.

Hiring in-house or buying a fixed-price system

Published US labor-cost figures beside our fixed prices, for a receptionist, for lead response and for billing follow-up.

The other option wins when: You get a few inquiries a day and the person is also doing other useful work at the front desk; the role is mostly judgment, relationships, or physical presence (greeting people, handling cash, in-person service).

How these are written

They are researched and drafted with AI from public pages. Each price or fact about another company links to the page we read and the date we read it. Where we could not confirm a figure from the vendor's own page, we left it out. Vendor prices change often, so check the page before you decide. Nothing here is a client result. Gonzo has no paying clients yet.

The method is described on the trust page.
