## The answer, as recorded

> # Best call tracking software for small businesses
> 
> Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. CallRail - the default pick for most small businesses.** Easiest setup, the cleanest dynamic number insertion (swapping the number on your site based on traffic source), and the best Google Ads/GA4 integration of the bunch. Starts around $45/mo for 5 local numbers and 250 minutes. The catch: it's call-focused, and form tracking plus Conversation Intelligence (transcription, keyword spotting) are paid add-ons that roughly double the bill. Pick it if phone calls are your main lead type and you want to be live in an afternoon.
> 
> **2. WhatConverts - best value if you want calls *and* forms and chats in one report.** Starts at $30/mo, and from the $60/mo Plus plan it tracks calls, forms, chat, and ecommerce together, which is what CallRail charges extra for. The $160/mo Elite tier adds full customer-journey and multi-click attribution. This is the one I'd recommend to a service business that gets leads through a mix of channels and wants a single source of truth on "which ad made the phone ring."
> 
> **3. CallTrackingMetrics - when you need tracking *and* a phone system.** Starts around $79/mo
