CallRail Alternatives: A Detailed Comparison to CallTrackingMetrics
We don’t know why you’re searching for a CallRail alternative, but we’re glad you found your way here. We have a lot of our own thoughts and feelings about why we prefer our approach to call tracking. But, even more than making us look good, we want to serve as your guide in your search for call tracking software.
So, while you’re here comparing CallTrackingMetrics vs. CallRail, we’re going to ease up on our enthusiasm (and marketing messaging) and do our best to stick to verifiable facts like third party reports and publicly available resources.
Let’s get this out of the way: CallRail is the leader in market share.
As much as we’d like to claim we’re the number one call tracking software, the truth is CallRail does have a large customer base. Excluding Google, CallRail has a solid lead in call tracking market share according to Datanyze, with CallTrackingMetrics coming just one spot below.
At a high level, CallRail is the highest rated call tracking software for small businesses and regularly earns G2 badges. Since you specifically searched out CallRail alternatives, chances are you’re not satisfied with “at a high level.” Diving into the weeds, the story is much less cut and dry.

Comparing CallTrackingMetrics and CallRail Pricing
Like any software purchase, price plays a big part of any final decision. For call tracking, there are typically two main components to cost:
- Subscription fees – a fixed amount charged to access the software
- Usage – a variable fee based on the number of minutes, phone numbers, and enhanced features used
While we’ll summarize some of the core costs associated with each platform below, full pricing is available for both CallRail and CallTrackingMetrics.
Just like the G2 comparison, pricing seems to favor CallRail – on the surface. Subscription fees for the CallRail base plan starts at $50/month, while CallTrackingMetrics starts at $79/month. The CallRail base plan also includes 5 local phone numbers and 250 local minutes.
If all you need is 5 local numbers and 250 local minutes, great! CallRail’s likely your best option. But for anyone who needs more than five numbers or anticipating growth, the cheaper a la carte usage pricing from CallTrackingMetrics becomes a much more attractive line in the budget.

Why Consider a CallRail Alternative?
CallRail’s platform is popular and can be a good fit for small businesses that need basic call tracking software. However, it’s not always the best solution for marketers and agencies who plan to scale, or have unique use cases requiring feature and integration customization.
If you’re currently a CallRail customer and looking for an alternative (or if you are new to call tracking and looking for a place to start) explore our more biased (but still true) features pages and then reach out for a demo of the platform.
