Honest comparison · updated September 2026

Nexa vs. Rocketship:
the number they won't put on the page.

Nexa blends human receptionists and AI to answer calls, and describes its plans — Nexa 100, 300, 500 — by the minute allowance in each. What it doesn't publish anywhere on its site is the price. There's no dollar figure to compare, only a phone number to call and a setup fee it says exists without saying how much. Third-party guides estimate somewhere around $0.65 to $1.19 per call, unconfirmed by Nexa itself. Rocketship's pricing is on the page: $0 to $149 a month, published, paid plans buyable with a card in minutes — and it starts earlier than the call. A buyer gets sourced, a first message goes out from your own Gmail, whatever comes back gets worked, and only then does the phone need to ring.

Disclosure: Rocketship publishes this page. Nexa does not publish pricing; figures here come from independent pricing guides as of September 2026 and are unconfirmed by Nexa — verify by contacting nexa.com directly.

The cost math

Start with the fact that should be easiest to check and isn't: what Nexa costs. There's no price on Nexa 100, 300, or 500 anywhere on nexa.com — you get a features list and a phone number. Third-party pricing guides estimate somewhere between $0.65 and $1.19 per call, but Nexa hasn't confirmed that number to anyone, including us. A business trying to budget for an answering service has to get on a call before it can compare, which is exactly the situation a published price is supposed to prevent.

Nexa's site also states that going over your minute allowance bills 'at your base rate' — without saying what that rate is either. So the number that determines your worst-case month is the same number the site won't show you. That's not a math problem to work through; it's a gap in what you can know before you sign.

Rocketship's answer to all of this is the pricing page itself: $0, $24.99, $79, $149, every plan's leads and minutes listed next to it, a $5-a-month line if you want a dedicated number, and top-ups priced in advance. And unlike Nexa's plans, which stop at answering, minutes/leads bought are running the layer before the call too — buyers found, outbound email sent from your own Gmail, replies answered, meetings booked.

The number they won't put on the page

Nexa combines human and AI answering with industry-specific training, according to its own site — a real claim, though one that's hard to weigh against anything without a price attached. If you want to know what it actually costs, that has to come from a sales call, not their pricing page. Call nexa.com and get the number in writing before comparing it to anything published. Whatever that number turns out to be, it still only buys answering — not producing the call.

When Rocketship is the right choice

  • — By the time Nexa's sales team quotes you a price, Sophie could already have found the buyer and sent the first email.
  • — You can read the price before you ever pick up the phone to ask for one — $0, $24.99, $79, $149, on the page.
  • — There's no undisclosed 'base rate' waiting in the fine print. Overage is a $15 top-up, priced the same for everyone.
  • — You don't need to know Nexa's undisclosed base rate to guess what a booked appointment might cost — booking is just part of the flat plan, any hour.
  • — Whatever Nexa ends up quoting you, it's a price for answering alone — not a site, not a Stripe checkout, not a signed quote. Those are already in Rocketship's published plan.

The comparison that settles it: a phone call.
