I've leaned on pricing facts and my own read of the market rather than those rankings.\n\n## What I'd actually recommend, in order\n\n**1. Aircall** - my default pick for a store with a real support team. It's the one whose Shopify/Gorgias/Zendesk/HubSpot integrations are genuinely deep: an inbound call pops the customer's order history and past tickets on screen before you say hello, which is the whole ballgame for \"where's my order\" calls. ~$30/user/mo annually, 3-user minimum, and the power dialer (useful for abandoned-cart or high-AOV callbacks) sits on the ~$50 Professional tier. Not the cheapest, and the minimum makes it a poor fit for solo operators. ([aircall.io](https://aircall.io/llm-info), [voicespin.com](https://www.voicespin.com/blog/aircall-vs-dialpad/))\n\n**2. Dialpad** - best value if you want AI without paying extra for it. Real-time transcription, call summaries, and sentiment are in every plan rather than bolted on as an upsell, and Standard is $15/user/mo (Pro $25).
