Why people look past KrispCall

Starter is capped at 5 users. API and webhook access is listed as Coming Soon. The 14-day refund is a money-back window on the subscription, not a free trial, and usage add-ons are non-refundable.

What we noted

  • Minutes and SMS are pay-as-you-go on every plan
  • Starter stops at 5 users
  • API is Coming Soon, so no public API today

Not the right fit for

  • Contact centers that need a public API today rather than Coming Soon
  • Buyers who want unlimited seats on the cheapest Starter tier

Worth keeping in mind: Every plan includes one free US, UK, or CA number per user plus HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Pipedrive, Intercom, Slack, Zoho, and monday.com among 100+ integrations.

What each one does differently

Aircall

Sales-quoted Free trial

Why it comes up: Aircall is a denser integration-first cloud phone sold on a sales quote, not $12/user/mo self-serve.

Stands out: Calls log back into HubSpot, Salesforce, Bullhorn, and Slack instead of living in a separate PBX.

Watch out: Plans start at three licenses, and no per-license price is published. AI Voice Agent minutes beyond the included bundle are consumption.

Best for

  • Recruiting and SDR teams living in a CRM
  • Agencies on Bullhorn that want a cloud handset
  • Desks that need recording plus CRM logging

4.2 on Capterra from 465 reviews

OpenPhone

$15/user/mo 7 day free trial

Why it comes up: OpenPhone is a simpler shared inbox phone with published per-user pricing and a trial.

Stands out: Every plan includes one local or toll-free number per user, US and Canada calling and SMS, voicemail transcripts, the Quo API, and the Sona AI agent with 1,000 automation credits. ChatGPT and Claude MCP is listed on the cloud-VoIP feature page. Capterra (still filed as OpenPhone, titled Quo) is 4.2 from 64 reviews.

Watch out: Monthly Starter is $19, not $15. Business and Scale AI summaries, call analytics, and advanced CRM integrations start at $23/$35 per user per month annual. Extra numbers are $5/month. US texting needs 10DLC registration fees on top.

Best for

  • Recruiting teams that need a shared candidate line and SMS without a full contact-center suite
  • Desks that want Sona AI on the base plan rather than an add-on dialer bot
  • TA ops that will use the Quo API to push voicemail and SMS into an ATS

4.2 on Capterra from 64 reviews

PhoneBurner

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: PhoneBurner is a power-dialer specialist rather than a full IVR cloud PBX.

Stands out: Built for reps who power-dial lists and log outcomes without a contact-center stack.

Watch out: Pricing is sales-quoted. Buying is a demo, trial, or quote you only see after signup.

Best for

  • Inside-sales teams running call blocks
  • Shops that want a dedicated power dialer
  • Managers who need call logging and voicemail drop

Aloware

$30/user/mo Free tier Free trial

Why it comes up: Aloware leads with CRM-native dialing and bulk SMS from $30/user/mo with a free tier.

Stands out: HubSpot/Salesforce-native calling and SMS with a 3-user package at $199/mo if you cannot hit the 10-seat Core floor.

Watch out: Core is $30/user (min 10). AloAi analytics is extra credits.

Best for

  • HubSpot or Salesforce teams that call and text
  • Speed-to-lead inbound
  • US outbound that needs bulk SMS plus a dialer
