Claver is $19/mo for Starter (2 users), $39/mo for Crew (8 users), and $79/mo for Business (20 users), flat seat buckets, no per-provider fees, and no free tier.

Does BookingKoala have dispatch and route optimization like Claver?
Not in the same way. BookingKoala uses smart scheduling that assigns jobs based on provider availability, and it offers GPS clock-in/out for time tracking on its Growing and Premium plans.

Claver includes a drag-and-drop dispatch board, GPS crew tracking, and route optimization starting on its Crew plan.
Does Claver include a phone system? BookingKoala does not.
Correct. BookingKoala has no built-in phone system and no AI receptionist. It is designed to reduce inbound calls through self-service online booking. Claver includes in-app VoIP calling, missed-call text-back, and a 24/7 AI receptionist on the Business plan, so you can answer and book calls as well as take bookings online.

Yes.

On top of it, Claver adds drag-and-drop dispatch, GPS, route optimization, card and ACH payments through your own Stripe, and a built-in phone line with a 24/7 AI receptionist, at flat pricing from $19/mo. If you want booking plus everything that happens after the booking, that is where Claver pulls ahead.
