OpenPhone vs Dialpad

Dialpad is built to manage call centers. OpenPhone is a modern business phone system you can use to nurture customer relationships.

What former Dialpad customers love about OpenPhone

Hundreds of teams have moved their numbers from Dialpad to OpenPhone. We asked them to share. Here are a few responses:

"We have tried a handful of other phone systems and had issues with all of them. Unfortunately, they are built for hundreds of people in a call center, not two people in different offices. This makes it so the most basic tasks are over-engineered, causing us more headaches. OpenPhone has simplified our workflow since switching from Dialpad and MightyCall."

"Compared to Dialpad, it's so much easier to manage our calls, messages and team with their user-friendly interface. Our CSM was incredible and made onboarding and launching seamless - we're thrilled with the switch and highly recommend OpenPhone to anyone looking for a modern, scalable communication solution!"

Why teams move from Dialpad to OpenPhone

The most business-friendly phone

  • Avoid hidden fees

    Dialpad forces you to upgrade to their premium plan in order to add additional numbers. Extra numbers are just $5 per month with OpenPhone.

  • Port numbers for free

    Unlike Dialpad, you can move any existing US, Canadian, or North American toll-free numbers to OpenPhone without paying a porting fee.

  • Text internationally

    Dialpad only offers this to US and Canadian customers on their premium plan or higher. With OpenPhone, send international messages on any plan from most locations.

Save time texting

  • Schedule texts

    Easily queue up messages to go out to contacts based on their time zone.

  • Message snippets

    Store your go-to text messages as snippets you can share with teammates and send with a click.

  • Send auto-replies

    Set expectations and inform others when you’re unavailable by automatically sending a response based on missed calls, incoming messages, and new voicemails.
