I have not used a product like CallRail
Chose CallRail
CallRail seemed to have an easier setup and ease of use for onboarding new staff as well. The overall tracking structure and analytics seemed better with CallRail. CallRail also allows you to understand the call history and understand if this was a first touch or multiple …
Chose CallRail
Simply put, [I believe] CallRail sucks compared to our previous provider, but they were acquired and are going away.
Chose CallRail
Convirza is very similar in its functioning with CallRail but the quality CallRail provides is unmatchable. The customer service of Convirza was really bad and we found that quite hard software but on the other hand, CallRail is a very straightforward tool for call tracking.
Chose CallRail
CallRail has offered us the best solutions so far in terms of multiple aspects. #1 is scalability, we are a growing agency, we see clients come and go, CallRail has made it easy and efficient with new accounts being onboarded, UI backs up this process. Also, the multiple …

We didn't really research any other products like CallRail, as they were recommended by our Google ads consultant
Chose CallRail
We also use Fix Your Funnel. It is specifically for integration with Keap (formerly InfusionSoft). Also a FABULOUS piece of software. It is just as robust as CallRail but has some unique features. I highly recommend calling them for a walk through if you use Keap.
Chose CallRail
We heard about CallRail from an associate of ours and never needed to look for a replacement. We absolutely love it’s features, ease of use and implementation of this program. We recommend this program to many of our clients who are looking for call recording or have the need …
Chose CallRail
We've found CallRail to be easier to use than other systems that we've used or reviewed for potential purchase. Product support is good and there is a fair amount of users so finding solutions to problems online is relatively easy. Our team has found it easy to setup as well.
Chose CallRail
Google AdWords does have tracking numbers but you can't listen to the calls and you can't integrate them in the code of your website. It's super helpful to have multi-touch tracking with cookies, so if someone hits a site via AdWords first and then comes back later via direct …
Chose CallRail
I quickly used CallTrackingMetrics but we decided to keep using CallRail because of ease of use with new staff.
Chose CallRail
Twilio offers a much more robust business phone and SMS solution that also offers call tracking. For just the call tracking, which is what we needed, CallRail was perfect. We didn't need the additional features that Twilio offered.
Chose CallRail
CallRail does not have a lot of good competitors. In addition to that, the CallRail team is always looking for ways to add more functionality and make the product work better which is great as not all companies do this. I think that this make them a much better overall value as …
Chose CallRail
I have used Marchex and Navis in the past, and those platforms aren't as functional, or as easy to use as CallRail. Setting up new numbers takes about 1 minute, and the amount of tracking options and placement capabilities makes it the easiest call tracking platform I've ever …
Chose CallRail
We have utilized Google call tracking within AdWords before, but considering it is a Google product, it can sometimes be biased. Having that third party vendor elevates that.
Google Call tracking is only limited to running AdWords campaigns, so if we need to use a phone number …
Chose CallRail
CallRail have been more accommodating, helpful, organised and understanding of our business requirements than our two previous call tracking providers in the UK. Combine with the massive cost saving and self-service abilities we have from the back end of CallRail, switching …
Chose CallRail
Seems like it is basically the same as PhoneWagon. Phone wagon is slightly cheaper but has a FEW less features. The one that makes a difference for me is the Bing Ads integration that Callrail offers but not Phonewagon.
Chose CallRail
I've used Marchex and a few other homegrown solutions, and a handful of other small companies that I can't seem to remember (too many years ago) their names. None of them really stood out to me as being a great solution. I haven't used Marchex in a few years, but overall they …
Chose CallRail
We haven't used any other type of system that is equivalent to CallRail. For some of our campaigns, we utilize CallSource, but CallSource falls flat in the keyword and landing page data. We are only able to get call recordings from them, and while that is useful, we can't …
Chose CallRail
Callrail has a very seamless and easy to use Dynamic Number Swap function. In other call tracking that we looked into the integration was either not as easy to use or required much more work to implement. Setting up CallRail has been so easy even our entry-level employees need …
Chose CallRail
CallRail had better features and reporting for our needs.
CallTrackingMetrics
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
CallTrackingMetrics has stood up well compared to Salesforce. Being that we are a high volume call center for schools, it has been very good for the company. I feel that CallTrackingMetrics is really good for our company compared to Salesforece CMS.
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
I have only used one call tracking platform at the level I am now which is CallTrackingMetrics. I have however, evaluated other call tracking platforms such as Invoca and CallRail. Invoca we quickly stopped demoing as we got into cost as the platform was more expensive that …
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
Years back Ring Central played nice with HubSpot so we got exposure to that system. As I recall, their offering migrated to advanced users and therefore overkill for my smaller clients.
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
We are able to track all call leads by simply adding a tag to the client's website and this tag is mostly integratable with most CMS as opposed to other platforms. Create personalized profiles for all business and share this with our clients. Our clients love this integration …
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
[CallTrackingMetrics] HIPAA compliance is the main reason we chose this service provider.
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
I feel like CallTrackingMetrics is far more user friendly and accessible than CallRail. I said this earlier, but because CallTrackingMetrics has always been so easy to use and work with, I've never felt the need to pursue another function. When I've had to work with CallRail …
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
They are very similar from functionality from what I have seen. CallRail is a prettier and possibly more user friendly platform, but also has a lot of fluff that CTM seems to cut through.
Chose CallTrackingMetrics
By far CTM is my favorite. Price is good, it's easy to use and integrates well with our external reporting software. But most importantly it is accurate and the customer service/chat support is fantastic and very quick to respond.

This is great software for differentiating where phone traffic is coming from. Whether it's paid/organic search, you can see exactly where the calls are coming in from. I'd love to see them add text/SMS features in the future, but it does what it claims. I'd also like to see more CRM integrations, but not sure that other users share the same sentiment

[CallTrackingMetrics] is well suited for HIPAA Compliant Call Tracking when working with medical clients and is great for all clients who do online sales or patient intake. Clients with low volume of calls may not get enough value for the cost of this platform.

Pros
  • Reporting - We love the breakdown for attribution and sources for calls. CallRail makes reports easy to understand and lets you share them with clients.
  • Call Tracking - This may be obvious, but you get so many options with CallRail in terms of your number pool, recording options, picking your numbers, etc. It gives you the metrics you care about and they haven't experienced any calls mis-forwarding.
  • Support - With other companies, I've had to wait for days and days to hear back. With CallRail, they normally get back to us on our tickets fairly quickly and they have a great knowledge base for common questions too!

  • Very easy to set up and use. You can create as many tracking numbers and sources as you need. Easily organize and filter them for results and placing the code is so simple. Anyone can use this software.
  • Listening to the calls makes life simple. We can hear what the potential lead said and record feedback to better our marketing efforts. You can even flag or email the call recordings if you need to share inside or outside your organization.
  • Call reporting is a breeze! You can easily filter your sources, call duration, time and more and reports are extremely accurate.
  • Cost is well worth what you get from the software.

Cons
  • Sometimes the automatic tagging can be wrong, in terms of whether it's a lead or not, or what the call was about.
  • It's not an all-encompassing platform, and would be so much better if it weren't so isolated to its core functionality - would like to see some more integrations.
  • Setting up the phone numbers can be difficult for some people.
Read full review
  • Can get pricy.
  • More complex integrations may need professional services.
  • No push notifications for incoming SMS on mobile app (non agent).

Usability
The platform is easy to use and we really don't have any complaints with using it so far. The information is invaluable for clients that rely on phone calls to drive more business. Not much negative to say about it at this point. We're actually really happy with it so far and the cost is manageable.

Fortunately, we had a lot of experience with CallRail. That in itself is an indicator that it has just worked for us, and done what the product is supposed to. We've never once wondered if the data was tracking accurately. This is unfortunately less common these days it seems, but we're happy with CallRail as a whole in our organization

Return on Investment
  • Historically, I used CallRail for hundreds of Clients and it allowed us to track more than 50% of conversions that came from a website for service style businesses. It's actually extremely eye opening to see how much comes in for phone calls for some types of services. With SaaS it's interesting to see how reliant on a human conversation people can be in order to make a decision about something so intangible.
