Here's how I'd rank them for an online store, where the thing that matters most is whether the agent sees the order before saying hello:\n\n**1. Aircall** - The one I'd name first for any store doing real support volume. Native Shopify app plus Gorgias/Zendesk/HubSpot integrations, so the caller's order number, cart, and past tickets pop on screen as the phone rings. Catch: ~$30/user/mo annually with a **3-license minimum** (so ~$90/mo floor), and the useful stuff - power dialer, Salesforce - sits on the $50 Professional tier. Not for a 1-2 person shop. ([pricing detail](https://www.ringly.io/blog/aircall-pricing))\n\n**2. Gorgias Voice** - If you already run support on Gorgias, don't buy a separate phone system. Calls land in the same ticket queue as email/chat with full Shopify order history inline. Cheapest path to \"we have a phone number\" for a Shopify brand already on Gorgias.\n\n**3. Dialpad** - Best value if you want AI without a surcharge: live transcription, call summaries, and sentiment are in *every* plan, not upsold. Roughly $15-25/user/mo. Good when you want call QA on a small team. ([comparison](https://www.costbench.", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
