## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Best call tracking software for small businesses
> 
> **1. CallRail** - the default recommendation. ~$50/mo for the Lead Tracking plan (5 numbers, 250 minutes, call recording, transcription, attribution), with metered usage on top (~$0.05/min local, ~$3 per extra number). It has the cleanest setup, the best Google Ads/GA4 integrations, and dynamic number insertion that actually ties calls back to keywords. If you just want to know which ads make the phone ring, start here and don't overthink it.
> 
> **2. WhatConverts** - the best pick if calls are only part of your lead flow. Starts around $30/mo including some usage credit, and it tracks calls *plus* forms, chats and e-commerce in one lead-level dashboard, with lead value/revenue reporting baked in. Marginally more setup effort than CallRail, better reporting once you're there.
> 
> **3. Call Tracker (calltracker.io)** - the value play at $37/mo with everything unbundled-free: DNI, keyword attribution, recording, AI transcription, call flows, and unlimited users. Smaller company and a thinner integration catalog, but if CallRail's add-on pricing annoys you, this is the one to compare against.
> 
> **4. CallTrackingMetrics (CTM)** - step up to
