Which one is for you
Pick OnSIP if

Look elsewhere if

- Not for you if you are outside the U.S. and Canada, which the sign-up page says it does not serve
- Pricey if you need recording or queues, at $4.95 and $14.95 per user a month on top
- Watch out: E911 is $1.80 per user a month and each extra number is $2.00

Pick Phone.com if

- Works for small offices that would rather talk to sales about a discount for more than four users
Look elsewhere if

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.
