Choose CallHippo for a business phone system with multiple numbers, routing, voicemail transcription and CRM connections. Starter is aimed at small businesses, while Professional and Ultimate add higher-tier calling and operational features. Look elsewhere if your calling needs fall outside the stated US and Canada limits or you need to keep using the service beyond Basic’s six-month free period without upgrading.
