Aircall vs OpenPhone FAQ

- OpenPhone is the cheaper option, starting at $19/mo vs $30/mo for Aircall.
- Can I use either one for free?
- Neither has a free plan. But OpenPhone offers a free trial.
- How do they charge?

- Which one is a better deal?
- Depends on what you need. Aircall: At $30-$50/seat annually, Aircall sits in the mid-market range — more expensive than scrappy alternatives like OpenPhone or Grasshopper, but cheaper than enterprise CCaaS players like Genesys or NICE. They're clearly targeting SMB and mid-market sales and support teams who want a polished product without an enterprise procurement process. OpenPhone: OpenPhone sits in the budget-to-mid tier of the business phone space, undercutting tools like Dialpad or RingCentral while targeting the SMB and startup crowd that finds traditional VoIP overkill. They're not trying to win enterprise — they're going after teams that graduated from personal cell phones and Google Voice.
