Maker's Comment
The Auto-Respond Team built the product for home service businesses that need to act on new leads at any hour without forcing staff to monitor every marketplace inbox. The focus is practical: configurable response workflows, AI-powered quotes based on the business's own services and rules, natural inbound and outbound AI voice calls, and CRM connectivity when an API or webhook is available. The goal is faster, more consistent lead handling while keeping each business in control of pricing and workflow rules.

Frequently asked questions about Auto-Respond
What is a Thumbtack auto responder?
A Thumbtack auto responder replies to a new Thumbtack lead as soon as it arrives. Auto-Respond sends the first reply in under 2 seconds and can continue with follow-up messages based on the service details and reply instructions you provide.
How much does Thumbtack charge per lead?
Thumbtack does not have one useful flat price for every category and market. Check the price shown in your Thumbtack account for the services and locations you target. To measure the result, divide total Thumbtack lead spend by booked jobs instead of relying on a generic online range.
How quickly does Auto-Respond reply?
The first reply is sent in under 2 seconds on supported Thumbtack leads. That is the product response-time claim; it is not a promise that every lead will reply, qualify, or book.
How long does setup take?
The do-it-yourself setup is designed to take under 2 minutes, and same-day setup is available. A recorded 62-second onboarding demonstration is consistent with that claim, but it is not an independent stopwatch test.
Does it follow up after the first message?
Yes. A typical sequence can follow up on Day 1, Day 3, and Day 7. Follow-up stops when the lead replies or books, so the sequence does not keep chasing an active conversation.
What does the Thumbtack auto responder cost?
Thumbtack auto-response is $99 per month with a 7-day free trial, no setup fee, no per-lead fee, no lead cap, and no contract. The optional voice agent costs $10 per month per number plus $1 per minute for outbound calls.
