Grippy vs. the old way of answering.
An answering service takes a message. A new hire goes home at 5. Voicemail loses the lead. Here's how Grippy stacks up against all three.
| Grippy Code | Answering service | Hire a receptionist | Voicemail / DIY | |

The math isn't close.
A receptionist who never sleeps, never takes lunch, and books the job — for a fraction of one human salary.
