CallFire vs. CallRail

If you need to find a test candidate for your client quickly, this is one of the best ways. Pull yourself a hot list of a couple hundred potential candidates and load them in to CallFire. Then get ready to hit about 50-60 calls per hour. You should have a great test candidate for your client in about 24 hours! It's amazing how quickly you can show your clients the true speed of your company.

This is great software for differentiating where phone traffic is coming from. Whether it's paid/organic search, you can see exactly where the calls are coming in from. I'd love to see them add text/SMS features in the future, but it does what it claims. I'd also like to see more CRM integrations, but not sure that other users share the same sentiment

• CallFire has amazing organization as far as categories and campaigns and all aspects go.
• It is very easy to use and understand! Very user friendly.
• Customer service and help is awesome! There have been some times when I have needed assistance and they were always so quick to reply.

• Reporting - We love the breakdown for attribution and sources for calls. CallRail makes reports easy to understand and lets you share them with clients.
• Call Tracking - This may be obvious, but you get so many options with CallRail in terms of your number pool, recording options, picking your numbers, etc. It gives you the metrics you care about and they haven't experienced any calls mis-forwarding.
• Support - With other companies, I've had to wait for days and days to hear back. With CallRail, they normally get back to us on our tickets fairly quickly and they have a great knowledge base for common questions too!

• The services are easy to use and robust, but there is room for improvement. Unfortunately, not much has changed over the last 2 years of use. There haven't been any new features or innovations in that time.
• API integration and automation is not easy for most folks to jump into and there is very little technical support or documentation to take advantage of such features.
• The standard reports are generally sufficient, but there isn't any customization or intelligence available.

• Sometimes the automatic tagging can be wrong, in terms of whether it's a lead or not, or what the call was about.
• It's not an all-encompassing platform, and would be so much better if it weren't so isolated to its core functionality - would like to see some more integrations.
• Setting up the phone numbers can be difficult for some people.

There is no reason not to, it has proven effective in the usage

The platform is easy to use and we really don't have any complaints with using it so far. The information is invaluable for clients that rely on phone calls to drive more business. Not much negative to say about it at this point. We're actually really happy with it so far and the cost is manageable.

Fortunately, we had a lot of experience with CallRail. That in itself is an indicator that it has just worked for us, and done what the product is supposed to. We've never once wondered if the data was tracking accurately. This is unfortunately less common these days it seems, but we're happy with CallRail as a whole in our organization

We considered Trello before deciding on CallFire. Trello is a good service that seems to do much of what CallFire does, however we wanted to avoid the labor-hours necessary to get Trello up to speed, as it is very technically involved. We didn't want to hire any additional developers just to get Trello set up and maintained. With CallFire, it was very intuitive and easy to setup quickly.

We have utilized Google call tracking within AdWords before, but considering it is a Google product, it can sometimes be biased. Having that third party vendor elevates that. Google Call tracking is only limited to running AdWords campaigns, so if we need to use a phone number in any other fashion within our business, it couldn't be used.

• I sent out a broadcast message pretty deep in our data base, well three years out. I had one customer come in and buy thanking me for contacting her.
• Our holiday season was up 35% over last year, this year we used CallFire more than we did in the past.

• Historically, I used CallRail for hundreds of Clients and it allowed us to track more than 50% of conversions that came from a website for service style businesses. It's actually extremely eye opening to see how much comes in for phone calls for some types of services. With SaaS it's interesting to see how reliant on a human conversation people can be in order to make a decision about something so intangible.
