The answer, as recorded

## Best call tracking software for small businesses **1. CallRail - the default pick for most small businesses.** Easiest setup, best-in-class Google Ads/Analytics integration, and dynamic number insertion that actually works out of the box. Starts around $45-50/mo for 5 numbers and 250 minutes; call transcription (Conversation Intelligence) is a pricey add-on at ~$90/mo. Pick it if you want the safest choice and plan to hand reports to a marketing agency. **2. WhatConverts - best value if you track more than calls.** $30/mo for calls only, $60/mo adds forms, chat and ecommerce tracking in the same plan - which is where CallRail starts charging separately. Its lead-reporting and attribution views are genuinely better than CallRail's. Best if you want one dashboard for every lead type without add-on creep. **3. CallTrackingMetrics - when you need a phone system, not just tracking.** From ~$39/mo, and the only one of the three with real call routing, agent management and ACD queues. Right if your team answers a high volume of calls and you'd otherwise buy a separate contact-center tool. **4. Nimbata - the budget option with a free tier.** Free plan to start, paid from ~$39/mo, with solid attribution for the price. Good for a solo operator or someone testing whether call tracking pays for itself before committing. **5. HubSpot - only if you're already on HubSpot.** Call tracking is bundled into the free CRM and Sales tools. It won't do keyword-level attribution like the others, but it's free and the calls land in your existing contact records. **6. Convirza - if AI call scoring is the point.** From ~$29/mo, combining attribution with conversation analytics that scores calls for lead quality. Worth a look if you want to grade how your staff handle inbound calls, not just count them. My actual recommendation: start with **WhatConverts** if you run forms and ads alongside phone leads, **CallRail** if you want the most frictionless setup and agency-friendly reporting. Note that all of these layer per-number and per-minute usage charges on top of the base price, so the sticker price is a floor, not your bill.
