An honest comparison
CallMOR vs Grasshopper
Grasshopper isn't really a competitor — it's a different product. It layers a virtual business number over your personal cell, and for a solo entrepreneur that's genuinely useful. But it's an app, not a phone system: no desk phones, no front-desk hardware, no IT. This page is for the business that has outgrown it.

Side by side
Grasshopper details from their public website and pricing pages as of August 2026.
| Grasshopper | CallMOR | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A virtual-number app on your existing cell phone | A full business phone system — desk phones, ring groups, auto-attendant, and apps |
| Price | $14–$55/mo flat plans (per current third-party pricing guides) | $39.95/user/mo flat — taxes included ($34.95 billed annually) |
| Desk phones & hardware | None — app only; a front desk with handsets can't run on it | Yealink desk phones sold outright, shipped pre-configured — or bring your own at no charge |
| Team scaling | Built for 1–5 people; extensions on an app | Per-user lines that scale from 1 to 150 with real hardware where you need it |
| Number porting | Supported into the app | Handled inside the order flow — ported on schedule or your first month is free, guaranteed |
| Local support | National remote support | Real office in Laguna Hills — on-site across Orange County since 2012 |
| IT services | Not offered | Managed IT from $79/user/mo from the same team |
| AI receptionist | Automated greeting/menu features | AI receptionist $299/mo flat — no per-call fees |
