What to compare before you choose

AI receptionists look alike in a demo. They differ in three things that decide the result for a business that works by appointment.

Which channels the assistant answers

List where your clients reach you: phone, WhatsApp, Instagram, website chat. A product that answers only calls leaves the messages to your staff. Solwees answers calls and chats with one assistant and keeps them in one inbox.

Where the booking ends up

Ask whether the booking is written into the booking system you use, or reaches staff as a message to enter by hand. Check that your system is named in the vendor’s list of integrations.

What the bill depends on

Per minute, per call, per location or a monthly plan: count the cost of your busiest month. Solwees charges per location per month; phone minutes come with the Studio plan or in packs that do not expire.

What Solwees does

One assistant on calls and in chats

Solwees answers phone calls, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Messenger, website chat and email around the clock, in 50+ languages. Every conversation lands in one inbox that the team opens on the web or in the mobile app.

  • Answers from the knowledge base you fill in: prices, services, terms
  • Hands the conversation to a person when the client asks for one or your rules require it
  • Phone answering comes with the Studio plan, or with a pack of minutes on Solo

Bookings go into the system you already use

The assistant books appointments and reservations into your booking system and sends reminders. Solwees works on top of the system you have and does not replace it. A business without a supported system can take bookings into the calendar of Solwees itself.

  • Salons: Altegio, Booksy, Fresha, Treatwell, Bokadirekt, Bookio, Wix Bookings
  • Clinics: Altegio, Doctra, Tooki. Restaurants: SevenRooms, OpenTable, CoverManager and other systems through Mozrest
  • Chats are written into Bitrix24; other systems are connected on request

Where Avoca is the better choice

Avoca is the better choice for a home service contractor. It books jobs directly onto a ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber board, answers messages from Google Local Services Ads and Yelp, runs call and SMS campaigns to past customers and scores the calls of your own staff. Solwees does not book jobs for home services: the assistant takes the request and passes it to the office.

Where Solwees is the better choice

Solwees is the better choice for a salon, clinic or restaurant. It works with the systems those businesses use, such as Altegio, Booksy, Fresha, SevenRooms, OpenTable and CoverManager, answers WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and Messenger as well as calls, speaks 50+ languages, and publishes its prices: from €99 a month per location, with a 7-day free trial.

Moving from Avoca to Solwees

  1. Start the free trial

    7 days, no card. The whole platform is open, with up to 100 active clients and 20 call minutes.

  2. Connect your booking system

    Choose it in the list of integrations. From then on the assistant books into the system your team already works in.

  3. Connect the channels

    WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Messenger, website chat and email, plus a phone number if the assistant should answer calls. Fill the knowledge base with your services, prices and rules.

  4. Test on real conversations, then switch

    Try the assistant on one channel or one location first. Move the rest when you are satisfied, and cancel what you no longer need.

Questions about Avoca and Solwees

What is the difference between Avoca and Solwees?

Avoca is built for home service contractors: its AI answers calls and messages and books jobs into field-service software such as ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber. Solwees is an AI receptionist and booking software for businesses that take appointments and reservations: salons, clinics, restaurants. The two products connect to different systems and serve different trades.

How much does Avoca cost compared with Solwees?

Avoca does not publish prices: its web chat pages say pricing is flat monthly with no per-seat fees, depends on conversation volume and the CRM integration tier, and is quoted after a demo. Solwees publishes its plans as of October 2026: €99 a month per location for the assistant in chats, €249 a month with phone answering and 100 call minutes, and a 7-day free trial without a card.

Does Avoca work for salons or restaurants?

Avoca does not list salons or restaurants among its industries. The industries on its site are home services: HVAC, plumbing, pest control, roofing, garage doors, electrical, auto repair, movers and similar trades, and its integrations are mostly field-service systems. Solwees is made for salons, clinics and restaurants and works with their booking systems, among them Altegio, Booksy, Fresha, SevenRooms, OpenTable and CoverManager.

Does Solwees integrate with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber?

Solwees has no connector to ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro or Jobber, and it does not book jobs for home services: the assistant takes the request, with the address, the problem and the preferred time, and passes it to the office. Avoca books jobs directly into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber, so a contractor who runs on one of them is better served by Avoca.

Does Avoca answer WhatsApp or Instagram messages?

The Avoca product pages list phone calls, SMS, website chat, email in a unified inbox, an online scheduler and messages from Google Local Services Ads and Yelp; they do not list WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger or Telegram. Solwees answers in all four, as well as on the phone, in website chat and by email.
