Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Prybar.
Getting Started
You get a dedicated business phone number with an assistant. When customers text that number, it responds instantly — answering questions, capturing their info, and booking appointments. You check a simple dashboard when you're free.
About 5 minutes. You'll import your business info (or paste your website URL and we auto-fill it), customize how your assistant sounds, and pick a local phone number. That's it.
Yes, but you keep your existing number too. Prybar gives you a dedicated 'Text Us' line. Think of it as hiring a receptionist who has their own phone. Your personal number stays personal.
You can test it out immediately using our web demo during onboarding. Real SMS typically activates within 1-3 business days as carriers verify the number. We'll email you the moment it's live.
Any service business that books jobs — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, cleaning, painting, pest control, general contracting, and more. If customers text you for work, Prybar works.
How Prybar Works
Prybar is customized for your specific business. It knows your services, hours, pricing, and service area. It won't make stuff up — if it doesn't know something, it says 'let me check with the team.'
Absolutely. You can jump into any conversation from the dashboard and reply directly. Prybar steps back when you take over. Think of it as a smart team member, not a replacement.
Prybar only knows what you tell it — it won't invent prices or services. For anything it can't handle, it escalates to you. Emergencies (gas leaks, flooding, etc.) get flagged immediately with a text to your personal phone.
Yes. During setup you pick a personality — friendly, professional, or straight-to-the-point. You can also customize the greeting, add FAQs, and adjust the tone from settings anytime.
Pricing & Billing
$79/month for founding members (first 50 signups get this rate locked in for life). Regular pricing is $99/month. There's a 7-day free trial to test it out.
Yes — 7 days, no credit card required. Set it up, try it, and see the value before paying anything.
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Your account stays active until the end of your billing period.
Everything: dedicated phone number, instant text responses 24/7, lead capture, job booking, customer follow-ups, missed call text-back, review requests, and the owner dashboard.
Technical
If someone calls your Prybar number and you can't answer, they hear a brief message and then immediately receive a text: 'Sorry we missed your call — text us here and we'll help you out!' This converts missed calls into text conversations that Prybar handles automatically.
Nope. Everything runs through your web dashboard at prybar.ai. You'll also get SMS notifications on your personal phone for new leads and emergencies.
Yes. All data is encrypted, stored securely (SOC 2 compliant), and only accessible to you. We don't sell data or use your conversations for advertising. See our privacy policy for details.
The plan includes unlimited conversations. Need more? Contact us for custom pricing.
