How CloudTalk compares to Google Voice and Vonage
While Google Voice offers 17 features and Vonage offers 57, 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.
The Vonage system lacks a pivotal feature that makes calling abroad efficient: international numbers. This tool allows you to receive international calls much cheaper. CloudTalk offers numbers from more than 160 countries around the world.
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.
Furthermore, while Vonage is extensively used by smaller businesses, CloudTalk aims mainly at mid-size companies looking to grow. Therefore, although you pay more, CloudTalk adapts to your future needs, offering you a long-term solution.
