Markate vs. Prybar: Leads Need a Front Desk
Markate sends you leads. Prybar makes sure you don't lose them to slow replies.
Markate focuses on lead generation for home services — their marketplace and tools are built to bring inquiries to your business. The irony of lead gen: most businesses lose the leads they pay for to slow response times.
Prybar fixes that. Every lead that comes in — from Markate, Google, or your own line — gets an instant answer, a booking, and a follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Prybar different from Markate?+
Markate 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.
