The AI phone system built to replace Quo
Quo (formerly OpenPhone) keeps call transcripts, analytics and CRM sync for its $23 Business plan, and bills its Sona AI agent by the call. Allo syncs your CRM on every plan and charges for AI answering per agent, at any volume.

AI answering, priced per agent instead of per call
Quo gives every plan 10 Sona calls a month, then charges by volume: $25 for 40 calls, $49 for 100, $99 for 250, $199 for 600, plus $0.45 to $1.00 for each call past the tier. Allo's AI receptionist is $32 per agent a month on annual billing, at any volume, and one agent picks up several calls at the same time. Below 10 AI calls a month Quo costs you nothing extra, and the crossover sits around 40.

Flat, whatever the volume:
- Calls the AI answers
- Minutes per AI call
- Per-call overage
- Transcripts and summaries
Quo, it doesn't keep track of what's going on in my conversations. I have to manually put it, like, oh, no answer, I left the voicemail.
Where Allo pulls ahead
Three places where the plan you land on makes a real difference to the bill.
Answers several calls at onceIt picks up around the clock, qualifies the caller and books the meeting, and it takes several calls at the same time. $32 per agent a month on annual billing, not a meter that counts calls.

Drafts the follow-up for youThe moment you hang up, Allo updates the CRM and writes the follow-up email or SMS. You read it, then you send it. On Allo Business and up.

Allo is not the right answer for every team. These are the 3 names that come up most often against Quo, with the prices they publish, read on 17 September 2026.
Dialpad
Standard $15 per user a month on annual billing ($27 monthly), Pro $25 with a 3-seat minimum. The deepest AI of the big suites. Its AI Agents bill from a separate pool of credits.
RingCentral
RingEX Core $20 per user a month on annual billing ($30 monthly), up to $35 for Ultra. The one for contact center depth and hundreds of seats, with the setup that comes with it.
Google Voice
$10, $20 or $30 per user a month on top of Google Workspace. The cheapest business number if your team already lives there. Voicemail is transcribed, there is no native CRM sync, and texting is US only.
Quo, Allo and the alternatives
On annual billing, Quo Starter is $15 per user a month, Business is $23 and Scale is $35. Paid monthly, the same 3 plans are $19, $33 and $47. Each seat comes with 1 phone number, extra numbers are $5 a month each, and texting US numbers needs a one-time $19.50 registration plus $1.50 to $3 a month per campaign.

It depends on what pushed you off Quo. If it is the AI, Allo runs transcripts and summaries on every call from its $10 plan, syncs HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Attio natively on every plan, and prices AI answering at $32 per agent a month on annual billing, instead of by the call. If you want deep AI inside a large suite, Dialpad starts at $15 per user a month. If you need contact center features across hundreds of seats, RingCentral RingEX starts at $20. If you only need a business number and already pay for Google Workspace, Google Voice starts at $10.
Not seat for seat. Allo Business is $32 per user a month on annual billing against $23 for Quo Business, though Allo Solo is $10 against $15 for Quo Starter. Where Allo comes out ahead is what the price already covers: native CRM sync and call summaries from the $10 plan, CRM call tags on Business where Quo keeps them for Scale at $35, and AI answering at a flat $32 per agent instead of Quo's $25 to $199 a month by call volume.
Yes. It is called Sona, it answers around the clock, and it is available on all 3 Quo plans. Every plan includes 10 Sona calls a month, then the add-on runs $25 for 40 calls, $49 for 100, $99 for 250 and $199 for 600, with $0.45 to $1.00 for each call past the tier. Calls under 15 seconds are not counted. Allo's AI receptionist is an add-on too, at $32 per agent a month on annual billing, and it is flat at any volume.
Both ship an MCP connector, and on this one Quo is available further down its range: its connector works on all 3 plans from $15, while Allo's starts on Business at $32. What Allo's connector does goes past reading, though. Your agent can search every conversation, update CRM records, send texts, build dashboards and start a dialing campaign when the Power Dialer add-on is on.
Yes, at no extra cost, and a human handles it. The team helps you rebuild your menus, routing and business hours, and you keep the numbers your clients already dial and text.
