Which one is for you
Pick Ringover if

- 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

Pick Zadarma if
- Fits if you run a team of up to 5 and want a PBX without a monthly fee

Look elsewhere if

- Skip it if you use Linux, since the calling apps page lists no Linux app

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.
