## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer, in the order I'd actually recommend them
> 
> **1. Aircall** - my default pick for an online store. It's the one with a genuinely native Shopify integration: when a call connects, the agent sees the caller's name, recent orders, order status and tracking link right in the softphone, and the call record + AI summary gets pushed into Gorgias, Zendesk or HubSpot automatically. That's exactly the "where is my order?" workflow that eats ecommerce support time. Essentials is $30/license/month, Professional $50, minimum 3 licenses, 25% off annual. Professional is where you get power dialer, queue callback and smart routing.

> 
> **2. RingCentral** - pick this if the phone system has to serve the whole company, not just support. Biggest integration marketplace (~300+), best-in-class video and Teams/Slack connectivity, and the most mature platform of the bunch. Core is $20/user/month on annual ($30 monthly), Advanced $25, Ultra $35. Forbes rates it best for unified communications. ([Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/sof
