Phone Answering for One-Person Businesses
You are the plumber, the accountant, the therapist, and the receptionist. Crixin handles the phone so you can focus on the work that pays.
You Can't Answer the Phone and Do Your Job at the Same Time
When you are with a client, on a job site, or in a session — you cannot pick up the phone. But that ringing phone might be your next $500 customer. Solo business owners miss an average of 40% of their incoming calls.

Frequently asked questions
I only get a few calls a day. Is Crixin worth it?
Absolutely. On pay-as-you-go, you only pay for minutes used. Even one captured lead per week pays for itself many times over.
Can I forward calls only when I'm busy?
Yes. Set up conditional forwarding so Crixin only answers when you do not pick up. You stay in control.
I do not have a website. Can I still use Crixin?
Yes. You can manually enter your business information, services, pricing, and FAQs in the dashboard. A website just makes setup faster.
Will callers think I'm a bigger company than I am?
Crixin gives you a professional phone presence. Whether callers think you are a solo operation or a team of 10 — they get the same great experience.
What plan is best for a solo business?
Start with pay-as-you-go ($0.12/minute) to see your call volume. If you are consistently using 800+ minutes, the Starter plan at $99/month is more cost-effective.
