For local contractors & trades

A Scorpion alternative — the price is on this page, no ad-spend bundle required.

Scorpion doesn't publish pricing - it's reportedly a custom monthly management fee plus separate ad spend, on its own proprietary platform (unconfirmed on Scorpion's own site; confirm directly). Risacare's website build is $300 one-time + $100/mo, published right here, with no required ad budget.

Figures from industry research on home-services lead response, including the MIT lead-response study: replying within 5 minutes makes qualifying the lead up to 21× more likely. We don't have customer testimonials yet — we'd rather show you the math than a fake quote.

The problem

A custom quote, reportedly plus your ad budget

Scorpion bundles website, SEO, PPC, and reputation management into one proprietary platform - powerful if you want it all, opaque if you just want a website.

💵

No published price, reportedly plus ad spend

Scorpion's pricing is reportedly a custom monthly management fee on top of separate advertising spend - unconfirmed on its own site. You won't know the total until you've talked to sales.

Reportedly management fee + ad spend
🔒

Reportedly a proprietary platform

Scorpion reportedly builds client sites on its own CMS, with reported early-termination fees - meaning switching vendors later could mean starting over. Unconfirmed on Scorpion's own site; confirm before signing.

Reportedly proprietary CMS + fees
🎯

Built for ad-spend-heavy marketing

Scorpion's bundle (reportedly called RevenueMAX) pairs a website with paid ads on Google and social - useful if you're running meaningful ad budget, unnecessary overhead if you're not.

The alternative

What Risacare gives you — for a fraction of the price

The two features contractors actually use, done for you, month-to-month, with a 7-day free trial and no contract.

Reviews — $39/mo

A QR or text invite asks every customer to leave a Google review, and also gives them an easy private way to reach you directly. Everyone gets the same public link; the private line is extra, never a filter.

More Google reviews = more calls
📞

Call Catcher — $79/mo

Forward your unanswered calls to your Call Catcher number and it texts the caller back in about 30 seconds — before they dial the next contractor. Works alongside your existing dispatch and booking tools.

Never lose a job to voicemail
🧰

Bundle — $109/mo

All three services together: Reviews, Call Catcher, and Supply Sourcing — a monthly email of the cheapest real wholesale prices on the supplies you reorder. One flat price, still no contract.

Best value — all three

Every plan: 7-day free trial (card required), cancel anytime, and the $199 setup is waived for new signups. No contract, ever.

A fair comparison

Where Scorpion wins — and where Risacare wins

We won't pretend Scorpion is bad. It's a bigger platform. Here's an honest read so you can pick the right tool for your shop.

Fair-play note: Scorpion does not publish pricing on its site - the figures above are reported by third parties, not confirmed by Scorpion directly, so verify every term (fees, platform ownership, contract length) before signing. Risacare publishes every price on this page: $300 + $100/mo for a website, no ad-spend commitment attached.

How the switch works

Keep your phone and tools — we bolt on the missing pieces

You don't rip anything out. Forward your unanswered calls to your Call Catcher number and it texts the caller back in about 30 seconds. Point your customers at your Risacare review link and every job becomes a chance for a Google review.

Call Catcher runs alongside your existing dispatch and booking tools — it doesn't replace them.

Who should switch

Made for local contractors watching every dollar

Plumbers & HVAC

A missed call is a lost service job. You want text-back and reviews without a big monthly bill or a lock-in contract.

Electricians & handymen

Small crew, tight margins, seasonal cash flow. Month-to-month pricing beats a locked-in enterprise contract.

Roofers, remodelers & trades

You mostly need reviews and fast lead follow-up — not a sprawling multi-location platform you'll never fully use.

Running meaningful ad spend and want one vendor managing it all together? Confirm Scorpion's current terms directly - and that's an honest answer.
