## 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, wi
