JustCall vs. OpenPhone

JustCall.Io is well suited as a backbone phone system with many capabilities for small to medium-sized businesses and their sales teams. With its rich feature set, dependable functionality, and developer and integration-friendly architecture, it could be a great solution. The platform is less well suited for those companies that have a well established telephony solution and are only looking to take advantage of one or two of its features, such as SMS for instance. There are probably other solutions that provide the same functionality at a lower price point.

If you have more than 2 people in your organization, then this will save you so much time. Delegation is the key to starting a business. Even when you're a 1 person show, being able to present to your user base the differentiation of options for client communications is critical. As a founder, feeling compelled to be always on is something I strive not to be. OpenPhone gives you that flexibility. I have found it to be less appropriate in complex HIPPA compliant areas, but that is it. OpenPhone really does seem to suit an open array of use cases.

• It's great for texting.

• UI is great and really intuitive.

• Customer service/ease of contacting could be better for worldwide users (I believe they're sourced overseas)
• Pricing seems to have increased, which affected the benefit we originally found in the service
• Increased functionality, such as bulk SMS Messaging and power-dialer

• Call quality can be spotty on wifi if the connection is poor, but nothing they personally can do about that. 4G LTE is usually stronger and more stable.
• N/A honestly excellent product for the price.

I think the UI/UX needs to be simplified and reorganized. It was hard to find settings, understand what they did, and then replicate those across phone numbers. They need better bulk actions, better analytics and, frankly, more stability in the system. The negative impacts to our business overall make it such that I cannot recommend JustCall

Because I think it's simple enough to use but could still use some adjustments. Some thing are maybe not as intuitive to me even though I am probably a mid power user? If I can recommend it, I would suggest you copy how Intercom is doing things, but this could be just personal and most people don't feel that way.

For me, there have been too many outages to rate this higher than "1 worst".

I think the platform is buggy and confusing. There are numerous outages. And the call quality, according to my customers, is atrocious.

In my experience, their support feels like the opposite of support. They send you in circles, never directly answer questions, provide vague suggestions with unwanted platitudes, and they often take days between responses to provide that. For me, it's a frustrating experience that leaves you with a net loss of time and energy versus before you reached out to them. In my opinion, you definitely don't get "support".

We left JustCall for Aircall. Aircall, in some cases, had a better integration with Hubspot, but for us that was the only redeeming quality. That integration, though important, was not enough to convince us to stay with JustCall. In my opinion, the Aircall UX/UI, feature set and analytics were far superior. Furthermore, the ability to copy and paste settings (like IVR menus) across phone numbers saved us so much time.

Intercom - not exactly the same type of product but still a messaging platform which is what we use OP for. OP is superior in that it's more focused. We only use it for texting and some calls. Braze - we used it before for promo texts, we found it more confusing, harder to navigate and price was higher as well if I remember correctly. Whatsapp - problem is that you can't reach all USA customers using it.

In my experience, I can't even scale up to sending messages from a single number because of their broken and messed up "trust registration" system.
