Alternative questions
Why look for an alternative to a phone or chat tool?
Phone systems and chat widgets were not built to turn a website visitor into a call with the right desk. A Call button routes by page and topic, and every call arrives with its page and campaign.
Do I have to drop my current tool?
No. CallCeptor works alongside your phone system or chat widget. Many firms start with one Call button on their highest-intent page.
What does it cost to try?
CallCeptor has a free plan for one agent. Paid plans are billed in rupees. See the pricing page.
Which of these features are live?
Browser calling, routing, callbacks, lead inbox and recording are live. CRM integrations, the AI receptionist, transcripts and SSO are marked Coming and are not in the product yet.
