- Pricey if you want call summaries and single sign-on, which need Ultimate at $42
- Watch out: US texting needs A2P registration, a one-time $20 setup fee plus monthly charges
- Pricey if you want the AI Voice Agent, at $45 a user a month plus $0.25 a minute, or the dialers, sold separately

- Works for teams that want missed-call numbers and toll-free lines

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.
