PhoneIQ provides cloud business calling across Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Phone features include IVR, business hours, ring groups, on-demand call recording, extension dialing, and local and toll-free numbers, with international numbers in 50+ countries. A browser-based Admin Portal manages users, devices, and numbers; Analytics provides KPI dashboards filterable by date, department, queue, or user. PhoneIQ CTI embeds calling in Salesforce with routing, recording, coaching, analytics, click-to-dial, and activity capture. Desktop and mobile apps support business calls and Salesforce activity syncing. Its AI voice agents can answer calls on a business number and be configured around services, policies, tone, call flows, systems, and handoff rules. English and Spanish can have separate routing and handoff rules; the same assistant can answer WhatsApp messages on the business’s number. Office Standard costs $11 a month when billed annually. Office Premium costs $17 a month when billed annually, and Office Enterprise costs $26 a month when billed annually. The CTI free trial lasts 7 days and includes calling and one local number.

TAPIMaster integrates telephony functions into company software through client-side or server-side interfaces. Its client/server product controls workplace phones connected to a central telephone system. A plugin can enable calls from employees’ programs and show notifications for incoming calls; interfaces may also support controls such as call forwarding and call pickup. Client interfaces place telephony functions in a program’s user interface, while server interfaces provide a central integration point. For web applications, the provider directs users to the TAPIMaster Server IP interface.

Tools include a line monitor for testing TAPI drivers and a TSP Emulator that installs a virtual telephone system on a PC. An executable TAPI driver can start programs or HTTP(S) calls through TAPI MakeCall, and TMConnect adds a Third Party TAPI interface to a phone system. The free small-business client/server plan costs nothing and is limited to four employees or one workstation, with at most four clients. It supports programming interfaces for one client and disables some server functions. Non-customers generally receive no support; installation and usage videos are available.
