Kixie vs. Prybar: Texting Tools vs. an AI That Works
Kixie gives you a faster way to text. Prybar gives you an employee who texts back for you.
Kixie is a popular sales engagement tool — power dialing, bulk texting, templates. It's built to help YOU send more messages faster. It doesn't answer a single customer on its own.
Prybar flips that: the AI answers every inbound text in seconds, handles the back-and-forth, books the job, and only loops you in when it matters. Same phone line, none of the typing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Prybar different from Kixie?+
Kixie is built around human agents or a full CRM. Prybar is an AI text receptionist: it answers every customer text in seconds, books jobs, sends quotes and invoices, and captures every lead — 24/7, with no per-minute fees and no add-on pricing. One flat price, everything included.
Do I need to replace my current software?+
No. Prybar works alongside what you already use. You can import customers from Jobber, HouseCall Pro, ServiceTitan, or QuickBooks, and keep using your existing tools while Prybar handles the front line.
Is there a contract or setup fee?+
No contracts, no setup fees, no cancellation fees. 7-day free trial, no credit card required. If it's not for you, cancel anytime.
What happens when the AI can't answer something?+
Prybar only answers with what you've told it. When it can't help, it tells the customer it'll check with the team, flags the conversation for you, and texts you so you can jump in from your phone.
