The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/business-phones ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Phone.com 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 50 of the 77 other business phone systems grade higher. - You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. - You could not: Fax numbers connected to the phone network. - You could not: Video calls. - 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: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
