Chose KrispCall
I am not a decision maker who decides whether to buy a software or not but yes Krispcall has a lot of advantages compared to other vendors in the similar lines and one of them is it being cost efficent.

Chose OpenPhone
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 …
Chose OpenPhone
Google is not my favorite business, and they have a reputation for suddenly shutting services down. I migrated to OpenPhone from google voice because of this worry. However, after over a year of dealing with OpenPhone problems, I wish had just stayed with google voice.
Chose OpenPhone
The OpenPhone UI was exactly what we were looking for. Seemed to be the most intuitive and at a great price for the features that we were looking for. We have a unique model, so there weren't too many services that provided the exact features that we needed. OpenPhone seemed to …
Chose OpenPhone
OpenPhone has an easier user interface than Grasshopper. Years ago when I was using Grasshopper, I recall that their user interface looked antiquated and full of complications. They would also update the interface just as everyone was getting used to using it. OpenPhone …
Chose OpenPhone
I tried 3 other virtual phone services before I found OpenPhone. None of them were as well designed or easy to use as OpenPhone, and some were not reliable. All were more expensive. Some fell short on service...try as I might I couldn't get them to switch my existing number …
Chose OpenPhone
OpenPhone is easier to use, and allows our own recordings to be uploaded for voicemails. Grasshopper is more expensive and harder to use.
Chose OpenPhone
OpenPhone is just as good, if not better than all the big boys, and gives you premium features at no extra cost. You cannot beat their amazing price and if you give them a shot, you will be glad you did. Why pay $40-50/mo for a business line in 2022? The world has changed, get …
Chose OpenPhone
OP has better call quality (and tons of other features) compared to the Verizon plan we used.
Chose OpenPhone
It's not even a comparison. OpenPhone blows the competitors out of the water.

It's well suited for sales and support environments where you need to give live coaching or real time feedback to your team members. It also helps when you have to take some strategic decisions, specifically if you are working in. support environments to identify trends, spikes in call volume, etc, and the virtual receptionist is a great help, too when the call volume is higher. For me in sales it helps with live monitoring, auto-transcript of calls, call tagging etc.

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.

Pros
  • Ability to do live monitoring of calls whenever I need to provide real time feedback to my team members as it also ensures smooth interaction
  • Liked the option of auto-transcription whenever I am in a hurry and need just basic transcript of what happened on the call
  • Call Analytics is also great for you to help identify trends, and get some granular data points for making some strategic decisions

  • It's great for texting.
  • It's great for making phone calls. You get a new, unique phone number and can text/call from phone or desktop.
  • UI is great and really intuitive.

Cons
  • Integration with Salesforce isn't there, which I believe every software must have these days.
  • No bulk SMS feature

  • 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.

Usability
No answers on this topic
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.

Support Rating
No answers on this topic
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".

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.

Scalability

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.
