I've leaned on vendor pricing pages and my own knowledge of these products, and flagged where numbers are from secondhand sources.\n\n**My picks, in order:**\n\n**1. Aircall - the default if you're on Shopify with a real support team.** Its Shopify integration pops a card on the inbound ring showing the caller's recent orders, status, and tracking numbers, which is the whole ballgame for store support - it kills the \"can I get your order number?\" opening. Also integrates cleanly with Gorgias, Zendesk, and HubSpot. Cost is the catch: ~$30/user/mo annual on Essentials, ~$50 on Professional, and a 3-license minimum, so the true floor is ~$90/mo. AI features are paid add-ons. ([pricing per secondhand source](https://www.consio.ai/blog/aircall-alternatives-for-shopify-brands), [Shopify app listing](https://apps.shopify.com/aircall))\n\n**2. OpenPhone - best for a one-to-five-person store.** Shared numbers and shared inboxes so any teammate can pick", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
