Side by side
When Goodcall might be the better choice
Your calls run long
With unlimited minutes, a long call costs the same as a short one.
The same people call often
Goodcall counts unique callers each month, so a customer who calls five times counts once.
You want a lower starting price
Their Starter plan is $79 a month. Ours starts at $99.
When FrontDesk Talk might be the better choice
You get lots of new callers with short questions
Each new caller counts on Goodcall. With per-minute pricing, a one-minute call uses one minute.
You want texting with customers
Talk Back (missed-call text back) and two-way texting come with Real Talk and Big Talk.
You serve Spanish-speaking callers
English and Spanish are on every FrontDesk Talk plan.
