> 
> **1. CallRail - the default pick.** Start here unless you have a specific reason not to. Dynamic number insertion, call recording, AI transcription and summaries, and clean Google Ads / GA4 / HubSpot attribution out of the box (700+ integrations). Four tiers from $50 to $195/mo, each including 5 local numbers and 250 minutes; extra numbers run ~$3/mo local, $5 toll-free, with metered overages at $0.05/min local. Best for a single service business - HVAC, law firm, dental, home services - that wants to know which ad made the phone ring.
> 
> **2. WhatConverts - if you care about lead *quality*, not just volume.** It tracks calls, forms, chats, and ecommerce in one place and lets you mark each lead as qualified/unqualified with a value attached, so your reports show revenue per campaign rather than raw call counts. Roughly $30-160/mo. This is the one PPC agencies and marketing-led small businesses tend to move to after outgrowing basic counting.
> 
> **3. CallTrackingMetrics - when you need a phone system too.** Picks up where the others stop: IVR, call routing, agent scorecards, outbound dialing, softphone. Around $39-299/mo (about $65/mo
