Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. Its home page would not load for us when we checked, so the pricing check rests on the listing. ## Where it stands among business phone systems - Crexendo's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 28 of the 77 other business phone systems we grade, and level with 18. - It stands best on features (B, above 54 of 77) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. - You could not: Video calls. - You could not: Chat that a whole team counts on staying up. - You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zendesk 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.
