PATLive pricing: live minutes and seasonal overage
PATLive lists inbound live receptionist plans separately from outbound calling and chat. A home-service business should start with the table that matches the calls it wants answered. Published by Revo. Official sources reviewed October 20, 2026; prices are dated US snapshots, not binding quotes or performance tests.

Read the published offer in its own billing unit
The inbound pay-as-you-go option lists $49 monthly with no included minutes and $2.99 per minute. The 100-minute plan is $189 with $2.09 additional minutes; the 200-minute plan is $349 with $1.99 extras. Government taxes and fees are additional. These allowances must not be combined with outbound or chat packages.

Match the service to your office decision
A roofing business may want people to collect project details while its crew handles inspections. Compare a normal month with a storm-driven inquiry period. Decide which callers should reach a receptionist and which should remain with the office. Human coverage is a buying requirement for some teams; it is not evidence that every service request should be handled the same way.

Work through a home-service example
Illustrative usage of 150 billed minutes on the 100-minute plan is $293.50 before government taxes and fees: $189 plus 50 × $2.09. The larger 200-minute plan’s $349 base is not automatically cheaper for that workload. Ask how transferred time and message work affect billed usage before estimating a full month.

Resolve these points before choosing
Use the same requested tasks in every proposal. A rate card describes an offer; a representative call test shows whether the configured flow does the work your office needs.

Compare with Revo using the same workload
Review Revo’s current plans and included minutes through the Pricing link. Compare the required answering, booking and team-handoff workflow with that exact plan, rather than assuming every feature is included in its entry tier. Record calls, handled minutes and required tasks together before comparing differently metered services.
For a practical shortlist, test a new inquiry, an appointment change and a request that needs a person. Check the final calendar or message, the handoff result and the usage charged. These are suggested evaluation steps, not customer results or a claim that either provider will complete every request.
Common questions

Resolve the details that matter to your team and callers.
Does PATLive’s pay-as-you-go base include minutes?
The reviewed inbound entry option has no included minutes. Usage is additional, and the page states that government taxes and fees are extra.
What should a home-service office test?
Use a representative customer inquiry and verify the resulting message or appointment, routing behavior and billable usage. Do not equate answering a call with dispatching a technician.
Sources and current terms
Use the inbound answering table for inbound customer calls. Use the current written terms and a representative call flow before selecting a package.
