This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Aircall yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Start with Talkdesk or Aircall for most mid-market B2B” Grok 4.1 Fast · Contact center · direct prompt · first choice
“JustCall or Aircall. They offer solid dialing features, CRM integrations, and AI coaching at a reasonable price point.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Dialers · direct prompt · alternative
“RingCentral or Aircall if your priority is primarily secure call recording inside a broader phone system” Perplexity Sonar · Conversation intel · paraphrase prompt · alternative
“Positioned as “mid‑market, integrations” and popular for teams that need native Salesforce/HubSpot integration.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Dialers · direct prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Aircall – ⚠️ Approach with Caution ... Aggressive auto-renewal policies, surprise invoices, and year-long contracts” Kimi K2 · Contact center · negative prompt · hard negative
“Frequent call drops, low audio quality, disconnections (especially high-volume)... avoid if reliability is critical.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Contact center · negative prompt · hard negative
“"What I'd avoid for predictable cost at scale- Aircall, JustCall, CloudTalk, RingCentral"” Muse Glimmer 30B · Dialers · negative prompt · hard negative
“22% of users report dropped calls and latency, with call quality rated 7.4/10” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Dialers · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Aircall. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 181 of the 188 answers that named Aircall and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page aircall.io exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Of its titles that name a category, most name CRM (13); 3 name its categories the models place it in. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Aircall's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Aircall, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Aircall by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Aircall is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Aircall, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at aircall.io is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
