Powers Your Team Better?

Google Voice

Google Voice, meanwhile, leaves much to be desired in a lot of areas. For example, the interface doesn’t offer any extensions. This can be an issue for small business owners, as extensions are a convenient way to connect callers to different departments and personnel.

Vonage

Vonage offers over 50 so-called Unified Communication features, including Business Inbox, Call Blocking and Call Announce. The Call Announce feature, for example, helps agents prepare for upcoming calls by whispering an audible version of the caller’s custom tag before the call connects.

winner Vonage

Vonage is the clear winner in terms of features. Theirs is a pretty robust list!

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 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.

Features

Out of CloudTalk’s 100 features, our flagship tools include several advanced dialers (power, predictive, 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.
