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.
