Which one is for you
Pick Aircall if
- Fits if every call needs to land in Salesforce, HubSpot or Zendesk on its own
- Works for three or more people answering the same support or sales lines
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you're on your own, as the minimum is 3 licenses, $90 a month
- Pricey if you want call summaries, which need Professional at $50 a license
- Tight if you call abroad a lot, since international calls cost extra below Enterprise
- Watch out: monthly billing gives up the 25% annual saving, and each extra number is $6 a month
- Pricey if you add AI Assist Pro at $49, Analytics+ at $15 or WhatsApp at $10 a seat a month
Pick Ringover if
- Fits if you run a sales team of three or more that wants calls logged to a CRM
- Works for support teams that want transcripts and summaries of calls
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you are one or two people, because every phone plan has a 3-user minimum
- Tight if you want a monthly commitment, since the annual prices carry a 12-month term
- Pricey if you want more than one number: on Talk an individual line is $10 per user a month extra
- Watch out: Talk covers national calls only, and calls to 90 destinations start on Business at $49
- Watch out: Meet.us, Empower and Airo are priced separately, with Airo from $100 a month

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
