Co-Founder and CEO
“Compared to our old provider, 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.”

Share incoming calls and texts
Google Voice assigns separate numbers to users in the same team, forcing your team to work in silos. Teammates can call and text from the same number at the same time with OpenPhone. And if you’re managing a team, you can view your team’s conversations and coach them as needed.
Save time reviewing customer conversations
OpenPhone lets you view your customer calls, texts, recordings, and more, in one place. Google Voice breaks up these interactions into different folders, making it more time consuming to follow up.
Collaborate in internal threads
Assign tasks or get input on an external conversation with internal threads visible only to your team. Google Voice doesn’t have internal threads, which forces teams to collaborate in other tools instead.
Access to texting features outside the US
Google Voice doesn’t allow customers outside the US to access its texting features. With OpenPhone, businesses based outside the US can get local numbers to text their US and Canadian customers.
Auto-replies, snippets, and scheduled messages in every plan
Google Voice doesn’t offer any of these advanced messaging features in its platform. Give back time to your team with OpenPhone’s texting features. Automatically reply to messages outside working hours with auto-replies, schedule texts to customers, and save text templates for your commonly asked questions with snippets.
Set up automated text flows
Want to trigger text messages to customers when they submit a sales form or book an appointment with your team? Google Voice doesn’t offer automated texting. With OpenPhone, you can set up automated text flows with Zapier and stand out to customers in seconds.
Automatically update your CRM
With our native HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, you give your team a single source of truth and automatically log can your call, text, and call recording data into your CRM. Google Voice doesn’t offer third-party integrations, which keeps your customer conversations siloed and increases admin work for your team.
Share updates where your team works
Notify your team about missed calls, incoming messages, and voicemails, via Slack and email. Google Voice only integrates with Google Calendar and Google Meet, which limits where you can share updates.
