Pricing
garagelift.ai costs $199, $399, or $699 per month depending on how much of your front desk you want it to run. Annual billing removes the setup fee. Every plan includes support and monitoring, there are no per-call fees, and the first month is free — the system is built and running live before you pay anything.
Prices below are monthly. Paying annually waives the $200 setup fee and works out roughly 12% cheaper over the year.
The only difference is the setup fee and the discount. The product is identical on either billing cycle.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Setup fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $199/mo | $2,099/yr | $200 monthly · none annual |
| Professional | $399/mo | $4,199/yr | $200 monthly · none annual |
| Enterprise | $699/mo | $7,349/yr | $200 monthly · none annual |
Annual saves roughly 12% before you count the waived setup fee. On Standard, twelve monthly payments plus setup comes to $6,288 in year one; the annual plan is $2,099 for the same thing.
The comparison most garage-door owners actually care about is not against other software — it is against the front desk they have now.
| Option | Typical cost | Hours covered |
|---|---|---|
| Full-time receptionist | ~$46,000/year | 2,080 of 8,760 hours (24%) |
| Answering service | Varies, usually per-minute | Takes a message; does not book |
| Voicemail | Free | Most callers hang up and dial the next company |
| garagelift.ai Standard | $2,099/year annual | All 8,760 hours, up to 10 calls at once |
A receptionist covers 2,080 of the 8,760 hours in a year — 24% of it. The remaining 6,680 hours are when a caller with a door stuck open reaches voicemail and calls the next company instead. That gap is what the price above is really buying.
Per hour of actual coverage, that is $22.12 for a hire against $0.48 for Standard billed annually. See the full breakdown, with sources →
We build and launch the whole system first — no deposit, no setup fee to start. Run it live with your own customers for a full month, then decide. Walk away and you owe nothing.
garagelift.ai costs $199 per month for Standard, $399 per month for Professional, and $699 per month for Enterprise, each with a one-time $200 setup fee. Paying annually removes the setup fee entirely and saves roughly 12% — $2,099, $4,199, or $7,349 per year. Support and monitoring are included in every plan, and there are no per-call or per-service fees.
The $200 setup fee applies to monthly plans only, and it is not charged before the free month. Annual plans waive it entirely, which is most of the reason annual works out roughly 12% cheaper over a year.
No. Every plan is a flat monthly or annual price with no per-call, per-minute, or per-booking charges, and support and monitoring are included rather than billed as a service contract. Your bill does not change when call volume spikes during a storm or a cold snap.
The entire system is built, launched, and run live with your real customers for a full month before you pay anything. There is no deposit and no setup fee to start. If you decide it is not for you at the end of the month, you walk away owing nothing.
Standard is built for a shop whose main problem is simply that calls go unanswered — it covers 24/7 answering on a dedicated number, booking onto your live schedule, and a knowledge base drawn from your own pricing and warranty documents. Professional is the right starting point once you have multiple technicians in the field, because that is where route-aware dispatch and after-hours emergency routing start paying for themselves.
Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time. Annual plans are billed for the year in exchange for waiving the $200 setup fee and the roughly 12% discount. Either way, the free month comes first, so you see how the system performs on your own call volume before you commit to anything.
