## Key features

- **Business numbers on every device:** One free standard number per user (toll-free not included), ringing on the web app, Windows and macOS apps, iOS, Android and a Chrome extension.
- **Regional calling plans:** Plans are priced by region, such as US/CA, UK, Australia or a global bundle; US and Canada plans include unlimited minutes to standard numbers.
- **IVR and call routing:** A multilingual IVR and cascading call distribution from Professional; multilevel IVR, smart DID and CRM-based VIP routing on Ultimate.
- **Texting and WhatsApp:** SMS and MMS on every plan, with 100 to 1,000 included texts on paid plans; a WhatsApp Business API channel costs $20 a month.
- **Transcription and AI:** Call transcription and AI voicemail transcription from Professional, call summaries on Ultimate, and AI Copilot and AI Voice Agent add-ons.

## Good for

- Small teams that want a number per user on desktop and mobile
- Businesses calling mostly within the US and Canada
- Sales teams that may later need power or parallel dialing

## Worth knowing

- Prices change with the calling region picked on the pricing page; the US and Canada minutes are a team pool for manual dialing to standard numbers only.
- US texting needs A2P registration, with a one-time $20 setup fee and monthly charges on top.
- Call recording, IVR and the main CRM integrations start on Professional; single sign-on needs Ultimate.
- The AI Voice Agent costs $45 per user a month plus $0.25 a minute, and the high-volume Pro Suite with dialers is priced separately.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. CallHippo gives each person a business number that rings on the web, desktop, phone and a Chrome extension, with plans priced by the region you call most. Starter is $19 a person a month for five on yearly billing. Call recording, phone menus and the main CRM links wait for Professional at $30.

- **Value for money: C.** $19 a head for five on Starter, billed yearly ($25 monthly), right at this category's middle. Recording, the IVR and HubSpot or Salesforce need Professional at $30. The $0 Basic plan still charges for numbers and calls.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 10-day free trial with no card needed. Basic has no user fee, but you pay for numbers and usage, so it isn't free.
- **Features: B.** A number for every user, unlimited US and Canada minutes on the US plans, texts, a multilingual IVR, smart routing, transcription and call summaries, with dialers in a separate Pro Suite. It covers the whole job across its plans.
- **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record. Plans change with the calling region you pick, and US texting needs A2P registration first, so expect some setup.
- **Platforms and integrations: A.** Web, Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Zendesk, Zapier, Slack and webhooks.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace CallHippo you would be making phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 13 of the 19 other business phone systems we grade. It costs $228 a year.

- You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
