Business Phone Systems

Our top three business phone systems

RingCentral and Grasshopper are level on their report cards, and what separates them is how much phone system you need. RingCentral comes first as a full system with phone menus, queues, fax and meetings on computers and phones. Grasshopper is second for a solo owner or small team who wants a business number on their own phones at one flat price. Quo is third for small teams sharing a number and texting a lot. Dialpad narrowly missed: it starts at the same $15 as Quo, billed annually, but is $27 paid monthly. Google Voice is free only for personal Gmail accounts in the US.

   Second: Grasshopper

   Free trial · from $14/mo

   For: A solo owner or small team who wants one flat monthly bill

   Grasshopper gives you a local, toll-free or vanity number that rings through its app on your own phone and computer, with calls, texts and voicemail in one shared inbox. True Solo is $14 a month for one user, and Solo Plus is $25 a month for unlimited users with three extensions, both billed annually. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.75 from about 46,000 ratings. It is second because it does a smaller job: there is no web app and no integrations on record, it is sold only in the US and Canada, and texting needs a $19.50 registration fee plus $1.50 a month.

   Third: Quo

   Free trial · from $15/mo

   For: Small teams that share a number and text customers a lot

   Quo, formerly OpenPhone, lets several teammates share one number with a common call and text history, and calls and texts to the US and Canada are unlimited under a fair use policy. Starter is $15 per user a month, billed annually ($19 monthly), on the web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.4 from about 10,800 ratings. It is third because a team pays per person where Grasshopper charges one flat fee, and phone menus, call transfers, automatic recording and HubSpot or Salesforce need Business at $23 per user ($33 monthly).
