Who we are
Big-company tools for the small local shop — without the big-company games.
Risacare builds the software that keeps a local service business full: every missed call answered, every finished job turned into a 5-star review, every reorder priced cheaper. We build it for the plumber, the barber, the baker — the one-truck, one-chair owner the big platforms price out and talk down to.
Missed-call text-back, Google reviews & websites for one-truck local shops — from $39/mo, 7-day free trial, card required. See pricing →

What we do
Automation that runs your front desk — while you run the job.
Risacare brings simple automation into the everyday work of local service businesses. Every missed call gets answered, every finished job turns into a 5-star Google review, and your supplies get re-priced cheaper each month — all on autopilot, so you stay on the tools and off the phone.
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.
How it works
Four steps, then it runs itself
Keep your phone, your number, and the tools you already use. Risacare works quietly in the background — from the first missed call to the five-star review.
Catch
The second a call goes unanswered, Call Catcher picks it up — 24/7, nights and weekends included.
Text back
Your caller gets a warm text in about 30 seconds — before they scroll to the next shop on Google.
Book
The lead lands on your phone with their name and what they need, ready for you to schedule.
Review
After the job, one tap turns a happy customer into a 5-star Google review that wins you the next one.

Who it's for
Made for the shops that run our neighborhoods
Keep your booking app - we get you more 5-star reviews and cheaper supplies, so you spend less to fill every chair.
A missed call is a lost job. Our Call Catcher answers 24/7 and hands you the lead before the customer dials anyone else.
Cheaper ingredients and more reviews - the two levers that protect a thin-margin shop and bring new faces in the door.

Founding members
Be one of our first 10 local shops — and lock it in.
We're new, and we'd rather earn a handful of shops we take great care of than chase a thousand. The first ten founding members get more than software:
- Your price, locked for good. Whatever the rate rises to later, yours never moves.
- White-glove setup by the founder. We wire up your Call Catcher, review QR, and supplies for you.
- A direct line to the founder. Text or email me — you skip the ticket queue.
- Founding-partner feature. With your OK, we feature your shop as a founding partner.
A real cap, not a countdown gimmick — the number above is our live count. When the ten spots are taken, founding pricing closes.

How we compare
Podium's core job. One-truck pricing.
The big platforms do the same two things we do — text back missed calls and grow your Google reviews — for 5–10× the price, on a contract, with a sales call just to see the number. Here's the honest side-by-side.
| RisacareCall Catcher + Reviews | Enterprise all-in-onePodium, Birdeye | AI answering servicesSignpost, Weave | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $39–$109/mo | $299–$800/mo | $199/mo + setup |
| Contract | None — month-to-month | 12-month, auto-renews | Monthly, hard to cancel |
| Setup fee | $0 | $500–$2,000 | $199+ |
| See pricing without a sales call | Yes — right on this page | No | Rarely |
| Cancel | Same day, by email | Notice window + penalties | 30-day notice + a call |
| Free trial | 7 days | Demo only | None |
Competitor pricing and terms are from their own pages and third-party trackers (July 2026); the enterprise tools hide their pricing behind a sales call. We're a small US-based team, not a faceless enterprise — so we publish the differences and stand behind ours: no contract, no setup fee, cancel any day.
From the founder
Why I built this
Every shop I walked into was losing jobs to a phone nobody could answer.
I'm Richmond Agyekum. I'm based in Texas, I serve shops all over the country, and I build and run every piece of Risacare myself. I kept watching the same thing: a plumber under a sink, a barber mid-fade, a phone ringing out - and the caller booking the next number on Google.
The big platforms answer that problem with $400 a month, a sales call before they'll show you a price, and a 12-month contract. I answer it with software that costs less than one recovered job, a price you can see right on this page, and a founder who reads every email himself.
Try it free for 7 days. If it doesn't earn its keep, cancel anytime - just email us and we cancel you the same business day. I mean that.

Why local shops choose Risacare
Common questions from shop owners
How fast does Call Catcher text back a missed call?
Within about 30 seconds. The moment you miss a call, Call Catcher texts the caller back so the lead never goes cold or calls a competitor.
Does Risacare work with my existing phone and dispatch tools?
Yes. You forward your unanswered calls to your Call Catcher number, and it handles the text-back - so it works alongside the phone, dispatch, and booking tools you already use, without replacing them.
Which cities do you serve?
Anywhere in the United States. We set everything up remotely over a quick Zoom call, so your location doesn't matter - we're based in Texas and serve local businesses nationwide.
How much does Risacare cost?
Reviews and Supply Sourcing are $39/mo each, Call Catcher is $79/mo, and the Bundle of all three is $109/mo. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
Is there a contract or cancellation fee?
No. Every plan is month-to-month with no contracts, no cancellation fees, and no hidden costs. Cancel anytime — email us and we cancel you the same business day. If it isn't working for your shop, email us within 30 days of your first payment and we refund that month in full.
How is Risacare different from Podium or Birdeye?
Podium requires an annual contract (verified) and is reportedly around $399/mo (often $500-800 once add-ons stack up), and both Podium and Birdeye make you take a sales call just to see a price. Risacare does the same core job - missed-call text-back and Google reviews - from $39-$79/mo with no contract, no setup fee, and no sales call: the price is right on this page and you can cancel any day. We are a small US-based team, not a faceless enterprise platform, so you talk to real people who know trades. See the full comparison →
Do I need to change my phone number or system?
No. You keep your existing phone number and tools. For Call Catcher, you forward unanswered calls to your Risacare number. It only catches calls you miss - it never replaces your phone or dispatch system.
What if I only want Reviews and not Call Catcher?
That is fine. Each product works on its own. Reviews is $39/mo for automated Google review requests. You do not need to buy Call Catcher or Supply Sourcing unless you want them. The Bundle saves $48/mo if you want all three.
