When Hatch is the better choice
- You want one inbox for texts, emails and calls, with AI answering inbound and multichannel follow-up journeys, not just phone calls.
- You run on ServiceTitan, LeadPerfection, improveit 360 or AccuLynx and want a native, two-way booking integration.
- You get a large share of your leads from Yelp, Angi, Google LSA or Thumbtack and want them answered inside the platform that now owns Yelp's lead flow.
When RevStrike is the better choice
- You sell solar, pest control or insurance, and your bottleneck is getting a human-quality phone call to the lead within seconds, evenings and weekends included.
- You want a live transfer with whisper and press-1 the moment a lead qualifies, or a booking straight onto Google Calendar or Outlook, with no SMS consent to manage because there is no SMS.
- You want month-to-month pricing published on the site and a Pilot guaranteed to produce at least one booked appointment in the first 30 days or a full refund (conditions apply). Hatch's pricing is quote-based on annual agreements.
What switching looks like
- Lead sources. Point your web form, ad feed or lead vendor at a RevStrike webhook, or connect your CRM through Zapier. Angi and Thumbtack leads arrive the same way. New leads are called within seconds, inside calling hours.
- Calendar. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook. Qualified leads are booked to the rep's calendar, or live-transferred when a rep is free.
- CRM. Outcomes, recordings and transcripts write back through Zapier or a signed webhook. ServiceTitan, PestPac, FieldRoutes and similar tools connect through Zapier or CSV, not natively.
- Onboarding. One 45-minute call covers the script, the qualifying questions, the disclosure setting and your consent posture. You leave the call live.
Text and email journeys do not carry over, because RevStrike does not send them. Your lead sources, your qualifying criteria and your calendar do.
