4 tools our write-ups put next to OpenPhone, with starting price, free tier, MCP and API side by side.

OpenPhone from $15/user/mo 7 day free trial

The short answer

Aircall : Aircall is a quoted sales dialer if you need a fuller conversation suite than Quo's Starter SMS line. From Sales-quoted
JustCall : JustCall publishes from $29/user/mo for sales calling and SMS with a higher floor than Quo Starter. From $29/user/mo
KrispCall : KrispCall publishes from $12/user/mo annual if you want a cheaper seat and can skip Quo's Sona agent. From $12/user/mo
Aloware : Aloware publishes from $30/user/mo for power-dialer and SMS workflows aimed at sales floors. From $30/user/mo

Why people look past OpenPhone

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.

What we noted

Rebrand to Quo means bookmarks, app names, and invoices may not match OpenPhone
AI summaries and HubSpot/Salesforce-class integrations wait for Business
US SMS requires campaign registration fees on top of the seat

Not the right fit for

Global recruiting teams that need non-US/Canada calling as the default
Enterprises that want a carrier-grade CCaaS with quoted seat minimums

Worth keeping in mind: 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.

What each one does differently

Aircall

Sales-quoted Free trial

Why it comes up: Aircall is a quoted sales dialer if you need a fuller conversation suite than Quo's Starter SMS line.

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

JustCall

$29/user/mo 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: JustCall publishes from $29/user/mo for sales calling and SMS with a higher floor than Quo Starter.

Stands out: Calling, SMS and CRM logging on Team, a power dialer on Pro, AI coaching on Pro Plus, and a hosted MCP server.

Watch out: Two-user minimum, so Team starts at $58/mo. The AI Voice Agent is a separate per-minute add-on, and the power dialer starts on Pro.

Best for

SMB sales and support teams that want calling plus SMS
Desks already on HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive
Teams that want a power dialer on Pro

4.1 on Capterra from 225 reviews

KrispCall

$12/user/mo

Why it comes up: KrispCall publishes from $12/user/mo annual if you want a cheaper seat and can skip Quo's Sona agent.

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

Best for

Solo agents and shops under 5 seats that want a US/UK/CA number for $12/user/mo
Sales teams that need a power dialer and bulk SMS on Advance
Support desks that want IVR, recording, and Slack or HubSpot in the same callbox

Aloware

$30/user/mo Free tier Free trial

Why it comes up: Aloware publishes from $30/user/mo for power-dialer and SMS workflows aimed at sales floors.

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
