> # Best call tracking software for small businesses
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:
> 
> **1. CallRail** - The default answer for most small businesses, and for good reason. Clean setup, dynamic number insertion that just works, solid Google Ads/GA4 integration, and call recording plus transcription out of the box. Plans commonly start around $45-50/mo at the entry tier, with real-world tiers closer to $95/mo (under 100 calls) and $145/mo (100-500 calls). If you're a single-location service business - HVAC, dental, law, home services - start here.
> 
> **2. WhatConverts** - My pick if you care about *lead quality*, not just call volume. It tracks calls, forms, chats, and e-commerce in one place and lets you mark each lead as qualified or not, then pushes that back into your ad reporting. Entry pricing is around $30-60/mo, which undercuts CallRail. Especially strong if you work with a marketing agency or run PPC.
> 
> **3. CallTrackingMetrics** - Choose this when you need the phone system too, not just attribution: IVR, smart routing, agent scoring, softphone. Around $65-119/mo depending on tier and call volume. It's the best fit if your tea
