CloudTalk

CloudTalk is the strongest choice for sales and support teams that need international calling capabilities at a reasonable price. Its standout feature is access to phone numbers in 160+ countries — significantly more than most competitors — allowing businesses to appear local when calling prospects or customers anywhere in the world. For companies with international operations or global customer bases, this breadth of number coverage is genuinely hard to match at CloudTalk's price point.

Pricing starts at $25/user/month for the Starter plan with basic call features and analytics. The Essential plan at $30/user/month adds CRM integrations (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce), which is where most business teams should start. The Expert plan at $50/user/month unlocks advanced call center features like call monitoring, wallboard dashboards, and smart queuing. Phone numbers cost extra (varying by country), and international call rates apply. Compared to Aircall ($30/user for the base plan), CloudTalk offers similar core features at a lower entry price, though Aircall has an edge in CRM integration depth.

Choose CloudTalk if your team makes international calls regularly and needs local numbers in many countries, if you're running a call center that needs routing, recording, and analytics, or if you want solid CRM integration at a more affordable price than Aircall. Skip CloudTalk if you need a unified communications platform with video and messaging, if you're a small team that rarely makes calls (simpler tools like OpenPhone suffice), or if you need enterprise-grade contact center features like workforce management and quality scoring — where platforms like NICE or Five9 are better equipped.
