# Julius Answer vs Goodcall: pricing and features compared

Goodcall bills by unique customer, so repeat calls and long calls cost nothing extra. Julius Answer by DealsFlow bills by call minutes, with every feature on every plan.

The real difference is what you pay for. Goodcall charges per unique customer each month, from $79 for 100, so a caller who rings five times counts once and call length doesn't change the price; it also sends SMS booking confirmations and lists SOC 2 and HIPAA on its homepage. Julius Answer by DealsFlow charges for call minutes, from $79 for 300, and fits owners who want booking, transfers, caller memory and a built-in CRM on every plan rather than tiers that change seats, tools and call history.

## How do Julius Answer and Goodcall compare?

Goodcall counts callers and Julius Answer counts minutes. Goodcall's tiers also change how many workers, tools, seats and days of call history you get; Julius Answer's plans differ only in minutes and calls at once.

## How much would each cost at 90 and 300 calls a month?

At 90 calls a month, Goodcall Starter is $79 and Julius Answer Starter is $79. At 300 calls, Goodcall Growth is $129 and Julius Answer Pro is $199.

Assumptions: each call lasts 3 minutes after rounding up (only Julius Answer's cost depends on length); each caller calls 1.5 times a month, the ratio Goodcall's own estimate implies (about 150 calls for 100 unique customers); no spam or wrong numbers.

Monthly cost at two call volumes (3-minute calls, 1.5 calls per caller)
| Service | 90 calls a month | 300 calls a month |
|---|---|---|
| Julius Answer | 90 × 3 = 270 minutes, within Starter's 300: $79 | 300 × 3 = 900 minutes, within Pro's 1,000: $199 |
| Goodcall | 90 ÷ 1.5 = 60 unique customers, within Starter's 100: $79 | 300 ÷ 1.5 = 200 unique customers, within Growth's 500: $129 (Starter: $79 + 100 × $0.79 = $158) |

Goodcall's model rewards repeat callers: if your 300 calls came from 100 regulars, Starter would cover them for $79. Julius Answer's cost depends only on minutes, so who is calling makes no difference, but long calls do. Note too that Goodcall Starter includes 1 team seat and 30 days of call history; if you need more, Growth is the starting point.

## Where Goodcall is the better choice

Goodcall is the better choice when many of your calls come from the same people, your calls run long, or you need texting from the first day or compliance claims.
- **Repeat callers and long calls.** A customer who calls four times in a month counts once, and Goodcall has no per-minute charges.
- **Price at volume.** Growth covers 500 unique customers for $129 and Scale 2,000 for $299, as listed on October 19, 2026.
- **Texting from the first day.** Goodcall lists SMS booking confirmations and lead texts after calls on its homepage. Julius Answer texts confirmations and reminders only once your business is registered with US carriers, which can take days or a few weeks.
- **Compliance.** Goodcall's homepage lists SOC 2 and HIPAA. Julius Answer offers neither, so a practice that needs a BAA should look elsewhere.
- **HighLevel.** Goodcall lists a HighLevel integration; Julius Answer connects to other tools only through Zapier, Make or webhooks.
- **Pay when you go live.** You can build and test a demo agent for free and pay only when you connect a number.

## Where Julius Answer fits better

Julius Answer fits owners who want one feature set on every plan and a clear record of every caller, without tracking seats, tools or history limits.
- **Same features on Starter as on Business.** Booking, transfers, caller memory, email summaries, Slack alerts, team logins and the CRM don't change by plan.
- **A built-in CRM.** Every caller becomes a client record with calls, bookings, tasks and notes, and you can ask questions about your calls in plain English. Everything downloads as CSV at any time.
- **Returning callers.** It recognizes callers by caller ID, greets them by first name and remembers what they needed last time.
- **Spanish.** It replies in Spanish when the caller speaks it, with an optional bilingual greeting. Goodcall's pricing page and homepage don't list languages.
- **More than one call at a time.** Pro answers 3 calls at the same time and Business 10; Starter answers 1 at a time.

What Julius Answer does not offer: SOC 2, HIPAA compliance or BAAs, a HighLevel integration, live human agents or a free plan. If one of those is a must, Goodcall may be the better fit.
