Here's how I'd rank them:\n\n**1. Aircall** - my default recommendation for stores doing real support volume. It has native Shopify, Gorgias, Zendesk, HubSpot, and Klaviyo integrations, so the agent sees the caller's order history and can log the call back to the ticket automatically. Downside: it's the priciest of the bunch at roughly $30/license/month with a 3-license minimum.
