Zoom Phone is a basic add-on to Zoom video conferencing. OpenPhone is a modern phone system that helps you build customer relationships and save time.
“I explored Zoom, Dialpad, Google Voice, Skype, and all the smaller competitors to OpenPhone, even setting up a paid month with each to explore features and workflow. I’ve been continuously impressed with OpenPhone’s response time, development pipeline, and brand as a whole. It just works. You’re pushing forward towards your vision.”

Transparent pricing and billing
Tired of hidden fees? Zoom Phone requires a Zoom One account to use any features outside of basic calls and texts. But OpenPhone’s transparent and fair pricing starts at $15 per user per month.
Outbound calls are included
Outbound calls cost extra on Zoom Phone’s base plan. OpenPhone always includes calls and texts to the US and Canada.
Up to 100 shared numbersÂ
Teammates using OpenPhone can call, text, and collaborate from the same number at the same time. But with Zoom Phone’s shared numbers, you’re limited to 10 users per shared number, unable to text, and can’t collaborate with team members on internal threads.
Calls and texts live in the shared inbox
Using OpenPhone, you can see the sender for each call and message. You can also see in real-time when someone on your team is typing. Unlike Zoom Phone, which doesn’t have a shared SMS text inbox, all of your calls and texts are easy to find in the shared inbox.Â
Keep everyone in the loop
Auto-send relevant feedback and other notifications to Slack channels with the OpenPhone Slack integration. Work together to close deals or get input on an external conversation via private notes tied to contacts.
Train using real-life scenarios
Use recordings of customer calls to train new and existing team members. With the tap of a button, your team can effortlessly record inbound and outbound calls and instantly share recordings with team members who share the phone number.Â
Call as often and for as long as you wantÂ
Even though Zoom Phone offers unlimited inbound calls, you’ll pay per minute for outbound calls. With OpenPhone, you get unlimited inbound and outbound calling to US and Canada.
Texting isn’t a mess and costs lessÂ
Zoom Phone users pay an extra $60 per user per year just to text US and Canadian numbers. Even then, you can’t text from shared numbers. With OpenPhone, texting is unlimited in the US and Canada.
Use texting features to provide 24/7 support
OpenPhone lets you easily set up auto-replies, schedule text messages, and save your go-to messages as templates using snippets. Your team can efficiently serve customers when they’re busy or off the clock.
Easy-to-navigateÂ
Need a UI that’s easy on the eyes and the brain? Zoom’s basic UI feels like it’s from the nineties, and all the channels are in the same tab. Instead, use OpenPhone. Our intuitive UI is a delight to use and doesn't require a manual and hours to set up.
View your entire workspace at a glance
With features like internal mentions for collaboration and productivity features like snippets and scheduled messages, it’s easy to view all communication on one thread.
Automate your processÂ
Integrate with Salesforce and Zapier to log interactions, sync contacts, and more so you can focus on more high-value work.
Give your workflow a boost with OpenPhone AI.
OpenPhone AI automatically summarizes calls, then intelligently suggests next steps.
Read conversations in detail and quickly find information with time-stamped call transcripts.
Easily add new contacts with suggestions based on call and voicemail transcripts.
