Features: Which Phone System
Powers Your Team Better?

Swipe to see the winner

Google Voice

Google Voice is primarily meant for either personal use or business use on a very small scale. For example, it doesn’t offer any extensions at all. This can be an issue for small business owners, as extensions are a convenient way to connect callers to different departments and personnel.

Grasshopper

Grasshopper offers extensions for all of its plans — 3 in its Solo tier, 6 in its Partner tier and an unlimited number of extensions in its Small Business tier.

Features
winner Grasshopper

Grasshopper takes the cake when it comes to features. Things like automated attendants and customizable hold music really set it apart from Google Voice.

Service Has the Happiest Customers?

Swipe to see the winner

Google Voice

According to reviews on Capterra’s platform, Google Voice has an overall customer satisfaction score of 4.5 out of 5. Google Voice customers appreciated the privacy afforded to them by the platform (that is, their ability to create a separate, local phone number for their business).

Grasshopper

Grasshopper, meanwhile, has an overall score of 4.4 out of 5. Grasshopper customers loved that they were able to customize hold music and voicemail messages.

Customer Satisfaction
winner Grasshopper

While both services garnered mostly positive ratings on Capterra, Grasshopper had more consistent ratings across the board and therefore comes out on top regarding Customer Satisfaction. 

Result

In order to determine which solution performed better with regard to customer satisfaction, we explored ratings and reviews on established portals — G2 and Capterra.

Meet CloudTalk!

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.

How CloudTalk compares to Google Voice and Grasshopper

While Google Voice offers 17 features and Grasshopper offers 16, we have you covered with 100 tools that can adapt to all of your business’ needs.

Google Voice customers lack the sort of advanced analytics offered by CloudTalk. For example with Custom reporting, you can filter any data you need within seconds. Search by agent, phone number, queue, timeframe, etc.


Grasshopper customers often complain about a lack of features. CloudTalk certainly fills this void. With a robust set of call management capabilities and cutting-edge features like click-to-call, your business communication will be far from boring.

Pricing: Transparent memberships for businesses of any size

CloudTalk may be on the more expensive side — with plans ranging between $25 and $50 user/month paid annually — yet we offer high-end services that clearly demonstrate our value. CloudTalk offers a fully customizable plan, so you can pay only for what you need.

Features

Out of CloudTalk’s 100 features, our flagship tools include several advanced dialers (power and smart). Furthermore, you can send a call to the most fitting agent best suited to handle the call based on predefined parameters with Skill-based and Caller-based routing.

By using our Call Notes and Tags, your reps are better informed about customer’s calling history. That gives you an opportunity to offer personalized customer service. Additionally, CloudTalk also lets you keep a local presence. We offer over 160 international numbers.

G2 Reviews proof

The transition to CloudTalk was super smooth. Actually, agent productivity grew by 10% just as a direct result of the switch. We thought our sales team couldn’t handle more than 15 daily leads, but this year, on some days, they took care of 30 and even won more deals.

Franco Viale Leyva
Head of Commercial Performance at Poliglota

Our call volume tripled in only 2 years. Today, our agents get around 100,000 calls per quarter versus 30,000 back in 2020. With CloudTalk, we can now handle all of this communication easily. It was an excellent choice.

Frederico Lopes
Head of Customer Service at DiscoverCars

CloudTalk has grown on us from the very first moment. It’s a part of our daily workflow. Everyone in the company finds uses for it. From sales to support or onboarding. Without CloudTalk, we wouldn’t provide such outstanding service.

Pavel Pribis
CEO of Boataround

G2 ranked us among the Top 50
Customer Service Products for 2024.
