## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Best call tracking software for small businesses
> 
> **1. CallRail** - the default recommendation, and what I'd suggest unless you have a specific reason not to. It's the most polished and best-supported option, with dynamic number insertion, call recording, AI call summaries/keyword spotting, and clean integrations with Google Ads, GA4, and most CRMs. Starts around $50/month (5 numbers, 250 minutes included), up to ~$195/month for the full conversion suite. The main knock is that costs climb once you exceed the included numbers and minutes.
> 
> **2. WhatConverts** - the best pick if what you actually care about is *lead* tracking, not just calls. It captures calls, forms, chats, and e-commerce transactions in one place and attributes each to a source, which makes ROI reporting much easier. Cheapest serious entry point at ~$30/month, plus per-minute usage (~$0.045 local, $0.065 toll-free). Especially strong if you work with an agency or do your own reporting.
> 
> **3. CallTrackingMetrics** - go here if you need phone-system features, not just attribution: IVR, call routing, agent queues, multi-location setups, softphone. It's effectively a lightweight contact center plus tracking. Starts
