What is the difference between eVoice and Grasshopper?

eVoice and Grasshopper are similar, but there are a few features that set them apart.

• Unlimited extensions Grasshopper offers unlimited extensions so that your phone system can grow alongside your company. Each employee can have their own extension, voicemail and transcription services. They can also forward calls to whatever line is most convenient. eVoice’s biggest plan caps at 5 extensions.
• Vanity and 800 numbers Grasshopper offers true 800 numbers and vanity numbers with all plans (a $30 activation fee is required for each), while eVoice only offers vanity numbers with their $19.95/month plan.
• Support Grasshopper has 24/7 domestic support, while eVoice has a Live Chat assistance, as well as a standard customer service line. eVoice’s support system is much less extensive than the service at Grasshopper.

How much does it cost?

RingCentral and Grasshopper have comparable costs, but different structures with different features. For this reason, it’s difficult to compare the two side by side. Before making a decision, make sure you’ve assessed what aspects of a phone system are most important to your business.

Why should I choose Grasshopper?

Grasshopper offers many more features than eVoice, including 24/7 customer support, unlimited extensions, and 800 and other vanity numbers.

What are others saying?

“[eVoice’s] simple approach may be too simple for many. This puts them at a distinct disadvantage to their competitors when you consider the price difference. No queuing, no internet faxing, and no call from web.” -Virtual Phone System Reviews

“Ideal for the small and medium size business, eVoice is a nicely stacked service, but the low number of phone number extensions that come with the various packages and the inability to import contacts and acquire international numbers may prove irksome.” -PC Magazine

“Grasshopper offers a really cool feature to allow you to program the days and hours of day you want each phone number tried when using the find me/follow me feature. This offers users a lot of flexibility when out of the office.” -Virtual Phone System Reviews
