## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## For an online store, the thing that matters most is whether the agent sees the order before they say hello
> 
> That one feature splits the field more than price does. Ranked by what I'd actually pick:
> 
> **1. Aircall - the default for a Shopify/BigCommerce store with a real support team.** Native Shopify integration pops the caller's name, recent orders, order status and tracking links into the softphone as the call connects, so you skip the "can I get your order number?" opener. Also has a power dialer, which is the right tool for working an abandoned-cart or failed-payment list. Essentials is $30/license/month billed annually, Professional $50, **minimum 3 licenses** - so the floor is ~$90/month. That minimum is the main reason not to pick it.

> 
> **2. Dialpad - best pick if call volume is high and you want the AI layer.** Connect Standard $15/user/month, Pro $25, Enterprise is quote-only. Real-time transcription and sentiment analysis are genuinely useful on a store line: you get searchable records of what people complained about in the week after a product launch, wit
