Aircall Alternative: why revenue teams are switching to Onoff Business

Aircall runs on VoIP. Onoff Business runs on the carrier network too, so the call holds in a car park, on a train, at a client site. And there is no licence minimum.

Three reasons teams pick Onoff Business as their Aircall alternative

Built for the field

Aircall runs on VoIP and recommends a stable wifi connection. When the network struggles, the app prompts you to move the call to the cellular network. Onoff Business does it automatically.

Everything in one interface

With Aircall, IVR, permissions and routing are configured in Smartflows, a separate module. With Onoff Business, it all sits in the same admin interface. 

Nothing lost when a rep moves on

A rep leaves, an administrator reassigns the number. Call and SMS history stays attached to it.

4,000 companies run their business communications with Onoff Business
