What is the cheapest Rosie alternative?

Nothing we track starts below Rosie's $0/mo.

Why switch from Rosie?

The gaps buyers hit most: No per-minute overage rate is published anywhere first-party. The Terms of Service instead state: "If Subscriber's Services Minutes used in a given month exceeds the allotted minutes for the Subscriber's then-current Subscription Plan, Rosie will automatically upgrade the Subscriber to a higher Subscription Plan to cover the additional Services Minutes usage. The Subscription will remain at the higher Subscription Plan on a go-forward basis, unless and until Subscriber downgrades their Subscription Plan." Minutes are billed in whole 60-second increments, rounded up.
