How we grade them

Value for money
CGraded on a small business with 5 numbers and about 500 minutes a month. Marketing Lite is $65 a month billed yearly, and 5 US local numbers at $2 plus 500 minutes at 4¢ add $30, so about $95. That's dearer than CallRail or Nimbata for the same, though users are unlimited.
CGraded on a small business with 5 numbers and about 500 minutes a month. Call Tracking is $30 a month with $30 of usage credit, and 5 local numbers at $2.50 plus 500 minutes at 4.5¢ come to $35 of usage, so about $35 in all. But the Google Ads and Analytics links need Plus at $60, about $65.
