Callkeep vs Grasshopper
Competitor information last verified June 8, 2026.
Grasshopper is a long-running US virtual-phone product (now owned by GoTo) that supports Canadian local numbers and bills in US dollars. Callkeep is a Canadian-made, single-business-line product billed in CAD. The two solve overlapping problems but with very different shapes, so the right answer depends on what you actually need.
Side by side
When Grasshopper is the better fit
- You need multiple extensions or want a shared system across a team — Solo Plus and Small Business handle multi-user routing that Callkeep's single-account model doesn't address.
- You're cost-sensitive on the lowest tier and don't mind USD billing — Grasshopper Solo at $14/mo annual is below Callkeep's $19.99 CAD.
- You want a deep selection of toll-free or vanity numbers with extension-based routing built-in.
When Callkeep is the better fit
- You want one simple plan that doesn't change as your needs grow — $19.99 CAD flat, no tier upgrades to think about.
- You'd rather be billed in CAD by a Canadian-made product, not in USD.
- You don't need extensions — you want a clean professional greeting, press-1-2-3 routing, and missed messages emailed back as audio plus a typed transcript.
- You're forwarding an existing carrier line and want the whole setup in about five minutes, not a multi-user rollout.
An honest note
Grasshopper's Solo plan is genuinely cheaper than Callkeep on annual USD billing. If sticker price is your only criterion, Solo wins. Callkeep's case is simplicity and Canadian-native — not the cheapest line item.
