How is Frontdesk different from CallHippo?

CallHippo is a virtual phone system and dialer with per-user pricing and metered minutes. Frontdesk is built around inbound coverage. An AI receptionist answers missed calls, qualifies leads, books appointments, and writes everything back to your CRM on a flat plan.

Can I move my CallHippo number to Frontdesk?

Yes. Free porting for any US or Canadian number, usually 3 to 5 business days. Your CallHippo line stays active until the port completes.

Does Frontdesk replace my dialer?

For most small teams, yes. Frontdesk handles inbound calls, texts, and AI answering. If you run high-volume outbound campaigns, you can keep a dialer alongside Frontdesk for coverage.

How much does Frontdesk cost compared to CallHippo?

Frontdesk starts free to start with unlimited seats. CallHippo is typically billed per user per month plus metered minutes, and AI features generally sit on higher tiers, so a five-person team usually pays more.

CallHippo Alternative for Real Estate Agents

Real estate agents need calls answered during showings, not a metered dialer. Frontdesk books showings, qualifies buyers, and logs every call to the CRM while you are out.

How Frontdesk solves it

CallHippo Alternative tuned for Real Estate Agents.

AI receptionist answers every missed call

CallHippo gives real estate agents a virtual phone system and a dialer. Frontdesk adds an AI receptionist that picks up the calls nobody catches, books appointments, and texts you a summary.

Flat pricing instead of per-user tiers

CallHippo bills per user and adds metered minutes on top. Frontdesk is one monthly price with unlimited seats and AI answering included.

Calls, texts, and email in one inbox

Customers reach you on any channel and you see a single timeline per contact instead of jumping between a dialer and a separate inbox.

Native CRM sync

Every call, text, and voicemail logs to the contact in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive automatically, without a higher integration tier.

Lead qualification on the call

The AI asks the questions your team would, scores the lead, and routes hot ones to a human while logging the rest.

Live the same day

Port your existing number or pick a new one, train Frontdesk on your business, and start answering calls in under 30 minutes.
