> # Best call tracking software for startups
> 
> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. CallRail - the default pick.** Starts around $45/month plus usage. It's the most widely used option for a reason: dynamic number insertion works out of the box, setup is a JS snippet, and the integrations with Google Ads, GA4, and HubSpot are the most reliable in the category. If you have no strong reason to pick something else, pick this and move on. ([techrepublic.com](https://techrepublic.com/article/best-call-tracking-software))
> 
> **2. WhatConverts - best value, and best if calls aren't your only channel.** Cheapest real entry point at ~$30/month, and it tracks calls, forms, and chat in one place with lead-level reporting. For a startup where someone also fills out a demo form or pings the widget, this gives you one attribution picture instead of three tools. My pick if budget is tight or your funnel is mixed. ([g2.com](https://www.g2.com/compare/whatconverts-vs-calltrackingmetrics))
> 
> **3. CallTrackingMetrics - if you have an actual sales team on the phones.** ~$65-79/month entry. Stronger on call routing, agent management, and conversation intelligence, so it doubles as light call-ce
