## The answer, as recorded

> # Best call tracking software for small businesses
> 
> **1. CallRail - the default pick for most small businesses.** Start here unless you have a reason not to. Easiest setup for dynamic number insertion (swapping the number on your site so you know which ad or keyword drove the call), clean Google Ads / GA4 integration, and the reporting is understandable without training. $45-50/mo for 5 local numbers and 250 minutes; call transcription and AI call summaries are a paid add-on (~$90/mo), which is the main gotcha. Best ecosystem of agency and CRM integrations too.
> 
> **2. WhatConverts - best value, and best if calls aren't your only lead source.** Cheapest real entry point at $30/mo, and from the $60 Plus plan it tracks calls, form fills, chats, and ecommerce in one place rather than selling each as a module. If you want one dashboard that says "this campaign produced 12 leads, 7 of them calls," this beats CallRail on price and scope. Slightly less polished UI.
> 
> **3. CallTrackingMetrics - if you also need to *run* the phones.** Pick this when tracking isn't enough and you need routing, call queues, agent management, IVR - a light contact center bolted onto the attribution. Starts at $79
