How to choose

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Start with the devices your team uses. The board compares support for iOS, Android, web, Windows, macOS, and API access.

Check the platform marks for a solution before choosing. API access can matter if you need the phone system to connect with another service, but the mark does not name specific integrations.

Which calling features do we need?

Choose based on the work your team handles. The board compares call recording, auto attendant, international calling, number types, and video conferencing.

An auto attendant routes callers through a menu. Check the feature details for a solution to confirm it fits your call flow.

Can we try it before paying?

Check whether a solution has a free plan or a free trial; they are different offers. A free plan can be used without moving to a paid plan, while a trial provides temporary access.

Paid pricing may be shown as a per-user monthly starting price or as pricing on request. Confirm the terms with the provider before choosing.

Do we need an API or open-source code?

An API can let other software connect with a phone system. Check the API mark if that connection matters, then confirm the provider supports the particular use you have in mind.

If you need to read or change the software's code, check its licence. The open-source mark indicates whether the code is open source.
