3 plans, and a “Create Your Own Plan” option. Prices depend on your needs and are revealed after a sales demo. Avaya doesn’t offer a trial version.
2 pricing options: a flat monthly rate of $150 per user/ month or $1 per active hour per user. Once you commit to a paid plan, you won’t be able to change it unless you create a new project altogether. A free trial is available.
Although we can’t compare the monthly costs of the two software, Twilio is the pricing winner: unlike Avaya, it offers a free trial version.
30+ features, including biometric authentication and voice-to-text, and you can connect the software with the most popular CRM and Messaging tools. But, we were disappointed to find that Avaya doesn’t offer auto-dialers.
Comes with 20+ features, like phone extensions, call routing, ACD, or smart dialers. Although we couldn’t get an exact number, Twilio claims to integrate with any CRM or customer database.
Avaya offers more features and integrations than Twilio, making it the winner of this round.
Scored 4.4 / 5 on Capterra (67 reviews) and 4.1 / 5 on G2 (163 reviews). Customers love the user-friendly experience and the quality of calls. However, users claim that the Avaya software tends to be slow and the reporting is basic.
Rates 4.6 / 5 on Capterra (272 reviews) and 4.4 / 5 on G2 (381 reviews). Reviewers praised the service’s features, reliability, and customizability. But, many complain that Twilio could be very difficult to navigate, and reaching customer service is hard.
According to customer reviews on G2 and Capterra, most users prefer Twilio – especially because of its wider range of features, integrations, and flexibility.
Cloudtalk’s calling software is earning more and more recognition with each passing day. We ranked 3rd of the top 30 HubSpot Integrations by G2 Industry Leaders.
CloudTalk also works seamlessly with all HubSpot plans. If you are a loyal HubSpot user, our software should be your number 1 option.
While Twilio offers 20+ features and Avaya around 30, we have you covered with 70 advanced tools to serve and support all business needs.
