## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-30 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Call tracking" splits into two different product categories, so here's both - the marketing attribution side first, since that's usually what the term means.
> 
> ## Marketing call tracking (which ad/campaign/keyword drove the call)
> 
> 1. **CallRail** - the default recommendation for most startups. ~$50-55/mo for the Lead Tracking plan (5 local numbers, 250 minutes), dynamic number insertion, recording, and AI conversation intelligence on higher tiers. It has the deepest integration library (Google Ads, GA4, HubSpot, Salesforce) and the least setup friction. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to.
> 2. **WhatConverts** - the better pick if you want *lead* tracking rather than just call tracking. $30/mo entry plan, $60/mo Plus adds form + chat tracking and keyword-level reporting, so you get calls, forms, and chats attributed in one place. Cheapest credible starting point, and the lead-qualification workflow is genuinely better than CallRail's. Usage is metered (~$0.045/min local).
> 3. **CallTrackingMetrics** - from ~$79/mo. Worth it if you have multiple locations, a real call center, or need heavy routing/IVR logic on top of attribution. Overkill for a small startup.
> 4. **Nimb
