Google Voice is a consumer product.
OpenPhone is built for professionals and entrepreneurs.
We reached out to customers who switched from Google Voice to OpenPhone to find out why. If you use Google Voice, their answers will likely ring true for you.
"We switched over from Google Voice and OpenPhone's UI is so much more thoughtful and geared toward productivity. We're loving the new support for multiple users on our team, how easy it is to add additional phone numbers, and the new web / Android apps."
Jonathan Barkl
Co-Founder and CEO @ AirGarage
"I first signed up for OpenPhone to get off of Google Voice for their poor call quality and buggy app. I was instantly happy with my decision back then because OpenPhone just worked. Fast forward to today; I could not be happier with my decision to move to OpenPhone. Reliability has remained exceptional, but more importantly, the feature set available to my business now far outweighs that of Google Voice."
Nicholas Bently
Founder and CEO @ Merus
"After using Google Voice, I appreciate that OpenPhone is made specifically for business. I enjoy that every interaction with a customer is available in a single thread. Google Voice has call history, voicemail, and messages spread out across 3 different tabs, making it hard to stay on top of things. I love the feature set (recording calls, the custom way of setting up a contact, the way the mobile app is slick and intuitive) of OpenPhone and the constant improvements. It's great that my business phone provider is growing with me."
