Grasshopper publishes three prices and bills on about a dozen. The plan tiers are refreshingly simple — $14, $25 and $55 a month on annual billing — and the annual discount is exactly what the page claims it is, which is rarer than it should be. But the fee schedule sitting under those numbers is deeper than the comparison table shows. Turn on business texting and Grasshopper’s own billing system carries three different recurring rates, only one of which appears on the pricing page. Take the professional greeting the table ticks on every plan and it costs $75. None of this is hidden, exactly; it is just not on the page you use to decide.
- What it is: A virtual phone system — business numbers, extensions and texting that ring through to phones you already own.
- Best for: Solo operators and small teams who want a business line without a desk phone or a PBX.
- Pricing: $14–$55/month billed annually, $18–$70 month-to-month. Verified August 2026.
- The honest catch: The 10DLC texting fee shown is $1.50/month; the billing system also holds a $10/month rate.
What Is Grasshopper?
Grasshopper is a virtual phone system, not a VoIP handset platform. There is no hardware, no SIP provisioning and no desk phone. You buy a business number — local, toll-free or vanity — and Grasshopper routes calls to the mobile and desktop devices your team already carries. It has been doing this since 2003 and is now part of GoTo.
That positioning matters, because it puts Grasshopper in an odd spot on a VoIP comparison list. Against Nextiva, RingCentral or GoTo Connect it will look thin: no full contact-centre stack, no per-seat enterprise telephony. Against a personal mobile number written on a van, it is a transformation. Grasshopper is competing with not having a business line at all, and most of its 400,000-plus customers are on that side of the line.
The feature set is deliberately narrow and mostly consistent across tiers: unlimited domestic calling minutes, unlimited business texting, voicemail with transcription, custom greetings, business hours routing, a virtual receptionist, virtual fax, mobile and desktop apps, and 24/7 support. On Findstack it carries 146 user reviews, which is a substantial base for a product this specific.
How Grasshopper Works
You pick a number during signup, then configure extensions and routing rules in the account afterwards. Calls to the business number ring your chosen devices; outbound calls placed through the Grasshopper app show the business number rather than your personal one. That is the whole product, and its simplicity is the point.
The tiers differ on how many numbers, users and extensions you get, and on a handful of call-handling features:
| True Solo | Solo Plus | Small Business | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users | 1 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Business phone numbers | 1 | 1 | 4 |
| Extensions | 1 | 3 | Unlimited |
| Domestic calling minutes | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Business texting | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Call recording | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Interactive voice response (IVR) | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Simultaneous call handling | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Call summaries | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| AI call sentiment | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Voicemail transcription | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Virtual receptionist | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Additional numbers | $9/mo each | $9/mo each | $9/mo each |
| Additional extensions | Not sold | $3/mo each | Included |
Two things stand out. True Solo is genuinely a single-line product — one user, one number, one extension, and no call recording, IVR, simultaneous handling or AI summaries. It is a business number, not a phone system. If two people need to answer the same line, you are on Solo Plus.
And Small Business is the only plan where the number count changes. Four included numbers at $9/month each is $432 a year of value against Solo Plus, which is most of the $360 price gap on its own — a rare case where the top tier is arithmetically the better deal if you actually need the numbers.
(One inconsistency worth naming: the comparison table marks call forwarding “Not Available” on True Solo while the same page’s underlying plan data lists it as supported on all three tiers, and does the same for AI voicemail sentiment. If either matters to you, confirm before you buy — the page contradicts itself.)
Grasshopper Pricing
| True Solo | Solo Plus | Small Business | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual, per month | $14 | $25 | $55 |
| Billed once per year | $168 | $300 | $660 |
| Month-to-month | $18 | $32 | $70 |
| Twelve months at that rate | $216 | $384 | $840 |
| You save annually | $48 | $84 | $180 |
| Discount | 22.2% | 21.9% | 21.4% |
| Setup fee | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Free trial | 7 days | 7 days | 7 days |
Grasshopper claims “annual savings over 20%” and all three plans clear it. That sounds like faint praise until you have checked as many rate cards as this series has; vendors routinely round a 17% discount up to “save 20%”, or quietly cut an allowance to fund it. Grasshopper does neither. The prices are the prices, the arithmetic works, and the seven-day trial takes no card. Credit where it is due.
The $4.50 brand registration and $15 campaign vetting fees footnoted on the pricing table are also exactly right — the billing system charges $4.50 and $15, and the table’s “$19.50 one-time” is their sum. A vendor that footnotes its own fees checkably is a vendor worth trusting on the things you cannot check.
What actually decides your cost
The plan price is the smallest decision you will make here. Four other things move the bill:
1. Which 10DLC rate you land on. US carriers require businesses to register before sending application-to-person texts, and Grasshopper passes that cost through. The comparison table shows a messaging fee of $1.50/month and nothing else. The billing system behind the signup flow carries three recurring 10DLC rates: $1.50/month, $2/month labelled “Sole Proprietor”, and $10/month. Nothing on the pricing page says which one applies to you. At $10/month, a Solo Plus line costs $439.50 in year one against a $300 sticker — a 46% gap decided by a field you never see. Ask before you sign up, not after.
2. Extra numbers, and how many you started with. Additional numbers are $9/month each on annual billing, $10/month month-to-month — identical on all three plans. This is what makes Small Business worth modelling properly. Solo Plus plus three extra numbers is $300 + $324 = $624 a year; Small Business with those four numbers included is $660. For $36 more you also get unlimited extensions, and the extension maths tells the same story: three extra extensions on Solo Plus is $108 a year, on Small Business they are free.
3. Voice Studio. The comparison table shows Professional Voice Studio ticked on all three plans, which reads as included. It is not. The plan data flags Voice Studio as not included on any tier, and Grasshopper’s own FAQ prices it plainly: $75 one-time for up to 250 words. The tick means available, not free — and the pricing table does not distinguish between the two anywhere.
4. International calling. “Unlimited minutes” means unlimited domestic minutes. Grasshopper’s FAQ says so directly: “International calls are not included at this time. International and off-shore calls are billed at per minute rates based on location.” International calling also has to be switched on by support before it works at all. If your customers are outside the US and Canada, unlimited is the wrong word for what you are buying.
Beyond those, the one-time fee schedule includes a $75 initial Canadian number fee and $50 for each additional one, $25 for media file upload, $15 each for background music and an on-hold commercial, $175 for concierge setup, and a $25 reactivation fee if you let the account lapse. Toll-free, vanity and number-transfer fees are all $0.
Who Should Use Grasshopper
Grasshopper is for people who need a business number, not a phone system. That distinction decides everything.
A good fit if you are:
- A sole trader, consultant or tradesperson who wants to stop giving out a personal mobile number. True Solo at $14/month is the cheapest credible answer to that problem, and the seven-day no-card trial makes trying it free.
- A two-to-five person team sharing one main line, where Solo Plus’s unlimited users and three extensions cover the whole company.
- A business that wants a toll-free or vanity number — both carry no setup fee here, which is not universal.
- Anyone who wants to avoid hardware entirely. There is nothing to install, provision or mount on a wall.
A poor fit if you are:
- Running a contact centre or a sales floor. No queues, no dialler, no CRM-grade telephony. Aircall, CloudTalk or Nextiva are the right shelf.
- Calling internationally at volume. Per-minute rates and a support ticket to enable it.
- Outside the US and Canada — Grasshopper is not sold anywhere else, and the site will tell you so.
- Texting heavily on a tight budget without first confirming your 10DLC rate.
Honest Pros and Cons
Pros
- The annual discount is real. 22.2%, 21.9% and 21.4% against a claim of “over 20%”, with no allowance cut hiding behind it.
- Genuinely simple. Three plans, one page, no seat-count calculator, no quote form.
- No setup fee, no contract, $0 for toll-free, vanity and number transfers, and a seven-day trial that takes no card.
- Fees are footnoted checkably where they are shown — the $19.50 registration figure reconciles to the cent.
- Unlimited users on Solo Plus. Most competitors charge per seat; Grasshopper charges per line.
- Small Business is honestly priced if you need four numbers — it undercuts building the same thing on Solo Plus once extensions are counted.
Cons
- The published 10DLC fee is the cheapest of three. A $10/month rate exists in the billing system and appears nowhere on the pricing page.
- Voice Studio is ticked on every plan and costs $75. The table draws no line between included and available.
- “Unlimited minutes” is domestic only, and you have to open the FAQ accordion to learn it.
- True Solo is thinner than the price suggests — no call recording, IVR, simultaneous handling or AI summaries.
- The comparison table contradicts its own plan data on call forwarding and AI voicemail sentiment.
- US and Canada only. No path for anyone else.
- Not a phone system. If you outgrow a single main line, you outgrow Grasshopper.
Grasshopper Alternatives and How It Compares
Grasshopper sits at the bottom of the VoIP category on price and complexity both, which makes most comparisons unfair in one direction or the other.
- Nextiva — a full unified-communications platform with video, team messaging and contact-centre features. More capable and more expensive; the right choice when you have staff on phones all day rather than a number that needs answering.
- RingCentral MVP — the enterprise default, priced per seat. Grasshopper’s unlimited-users-per-line model is dramatically cheaper for small teams; RingCentral wins the moment you need per-user provisioning, compliance controls or deep integrations.
- GoTo Connect — Grasshopper’s sibling under the same parent. The natural upgrade path if you start here and grow into needing a real PBX.
- Aircall and CloudTalk — sales and support call centres with CRM integration and analytics at their core. Different job entirely.
- 800.com — the closest like-for-like on the toll-free number use case, worth pricing against Grasshopper directly if a memorable number is the main thing you want.
The honest framing: if you are comparing Grasshopper to RingCentral, one of the two is wrong for you and it is usually obvious which. Grasshopper’s real competition is a second mobile phone.
The Verdict
Grasshopper does the thing it says it does, at a price it states accurately, and then bills you for several things it did not put on the page.
The headline pricing is clean. Three tiers, a discount that survives a calculator, no setup fee and a trial with no card. In a category where “contact sales” is the default and 20% discounts routinely turn out to be 14%, that is worth something, and the review should say so plainly.
What lets it down is the second layer. The comparison table is where buyers decide, and that table shows one 10DLC rate out of three, ticks a $75 add-on as though it were included, calls domestic minutes “unlimited” without the word domestic, and disagrees with the site’s own plan data in two places. None of it is deceptive in a way that would survive a complaint — the FAQ answers are honest, the fee footnotes reconcile, the international caveat is written down. It is just all one click further away than the number that made you click.
Buy it if you need a business number and Solo Plus at $25/month covers your team — and confirm your 10DLC rate before you enable texting.
Model Small Business properly if you need more than one number. At four included numbers it is better value than it looks.
Look elsewhere if you need queues, diallers, international calling or anything that resembles a switchboard. Grasshopper is not trying to be that, and it does not pretend otherwise.
FAQ
How much does Grasshopper cost? Three plans: True Solo at $14/month, Solo Plus at $25/month and Small Business at $55/month, all billed annually at $168, $300 and $660 respectively. Month-to-month the same plans are $18, $32 and $70. There is no setup fee and a seven-day free trial that does not require a card.
Is the annual discount actually 20%? Yes. True Solo saves 22.2%, Solo Plus 21.9% and Small Business 21.4% against twelve months of month-to-month billing. The allowances do not change between the two billing terms, so the discount is not funded by taking something away — which is more than can be said for several vendors in this series.
What does business texting really cost on Grasshopper? Registration is $19.50 one-time ($4.50 brand registration plus $15 campaign vetting), and that figure is footnoted correctly on the pricing page. The recurring fee is where it gets murky: the table shows $1.50/month, but Grasshopper’s billing system also carries a $2/month “Sole Proprietor” rate and a $10/month rate. Which one you get is not explained anywhere on the pricing page, so ask support before you enable texting.
Are Grasshopper’s unlimited minutes really unlimited? For domestic US and Canada calling, yes. International and off-shore calls are excluded and billed per minute at location-based rates, and international calling has to be enabled by support before it works at all. Grasshopper states this in its pricing FAQ but not on the comparison table, where the row simply reads “Unlimited”.
Is True Solo enough for a one-person business? If all you need is a business number that rings your phone, yes — it is one user, one number, one extension, with unlimited domestic calling and texting, voicemail transcription and a virtual receptionist. What it does not include is call recording, IVR, simultaneous call handling, call summaries or AI call sentiment. Those start at Solo Plus, $11/month more.

Simple straight forward pricing, features and a great service. You pay a set fee depending on usage and you can easily rotate who gets called and set basic availability. Unlike most services there's not a per user fee which is perfect. We've been using Grasshopper for 2 years and it's just great.
We've had a few problems with dropped calls and quality of the line but their customer service was perfect. They waived our fee for several months while they worked to fix the problem. (We are a UK customer, and they were still new to the market). Other than that, no complaints.
Managing a small business with multiple people answering one phone. Before this we had an insane system of who to call and when using call forwarding and all sorts of insanity. Grasshopper just worked. It was easy to setup and was immediately useful.
Price point, ease of setup, support, features, EVERYTHING!
No complaints. You are asking for 40 characters to repeat. No Complaints.
Virtual operations are easy with this product.
The smooth use of the mobile app to manage calls, & voicemails
The mobile app seem to simply skin the web site & some places buttons don't always work
Multiple phone lines with out the bed to be tied into a physical office
The best part of the software is the ability to design any object with mere points and customize the shape of the objects. It's revolutionary. Amazing! I love it.
It is a very difficult software to learn if you don't have a basic level of understanding of the 3D world. It takes time to learn how to use the software. But once you learn it, it's an wonderful software.
I created beautiful 3D shapes that couldn't be designed using any conventional 3D CAD tool. The designs were then 3D printed. I used topology optimization to it's fullest potential using Grasshopper
User-friendly (easy to navigate), plus I love being able to use it both on my desktop and phone.
The desktop interface seems slow at times. By slow I mean not crisp or not as responsive. Whenever I have my earphones on and Grasshopper rings, the ringtone startles me every time.
Business calls are more streamlined now because of this tool.
I love being able to have an app on my phone for our business line and take calls from my cell phone, but I still have a separate business number, so I am not using my personal number. It makes it more professional, and I can take office calls from anywhere! Not only can I take calls from my office number, but I can also text as well. You just need the app, not even an actual landline phone.
I wouldn't say I like that they don't seem to filter spam texts. They can sometimes crowd the inbox.
I can now have my office phone with me wherever I go! I had to worry about missing important calls when we just had a landline office phone, but now I don't have to worry about that. It is also lovely to be able to set up different extensions for different staff members. The best part is that it is so much cheaper than a landline!
The maneuverability and flow of the website. The Customer support you get is spot on. They walk you through step by step. Very user-friendly. Quick and simple steps to get done what you need to get done. I love making quick calls from my cell number and not giving it out to peple.
Nothing yet. If anything I would say maybe less emails to remind you about stuff, message, account setup. But that is silly
The quick and simple way of getting back to customers sooner and able to make NOTES on all calls right in Grasshopper.
We love that we can assign extensions quickly, and have voicemails saved and sent to Zendesk.
Sometimes there is a glitch with answering calls.
We've realized this is great for getting calls forwarded to us here at the office without having to give our our personal numbers.
I can easily add unlimited extensions, delete and reorganize extensions based on personnel changes, and there is a separation between general extensions and personal extensions. Easily set up a unique company toll-free number.
When you make an outbound call, you cannot transfer to another extension.
We love Grasshopper because it allows us to make business phone calls from our personal cell phones using our company phone number through the Grasshopper app. That way, we don't actually have to have separate company phones.
Love that we retained our phone number, and that porting it to Grasshopper from our prior provider was simple. Also, the online dashboard is intuitive, making it easy to set up. The ability to have individual voicemail boxes and extensions for multiple people was a bonus, and functionality our prior provider didn't have. Main thing I love though is voicemail as e-mail!
Honestly, at setup I got a little confused about different access levels, but that's been about it. But otherwise, it's been great.
My office went 100% remote. We had a phone system with a dozen handsets and a big base station. Stuff we'd had for years. Giving up the physical office space made all the land lines obsolete, and transitioning to Grasshopper, which my spouse's company had been using for some time, was the best solution for us. Also saved us about $100 a month because we dropped two lines, and services we'd been paying for a la carte are now bundled into Grasshopper.
Grasshopper’s app is used by our compnay all day, every day. Very easy to use for calls, fax, and tect.
Fees have gone up, but it neets all our needs.
Communication between clients, patients, and employees.
I appreciate the ease of use, automatic email alerts for missed calls and the quick-access app.
I truly wish the voice-to-text and sms messages were included as a bundle vs separate add-ons.
We have filtered our calls through the extensions, which saves at least 2-3 minutes per call, clarifying the core reason for the prospect, partner, or clients call. Streamlining our time saves money.
Grasshopper makes it easy to have multiple extensions with professional greetings, plus the ability to receive faxes and send texts. All from your regular phone.
I wish it were easier to change messages. It's not horribly difficult, but it could be quicker
Carrying only one phone, instead of two. Receiving faxes on my cell phone and multiple phone extensions to sort my calls
Calls come directly to my cell phone so I can take business calls no matter where I am at.
I'd like to see a better way to identify the incoming call without resorting to having the caller state their name. If I send the caller's caller ID info I don't know if it's coming from Grasshopper or a direct dial of my cell number. If I send the company's caller ID info I don't know who the caller is until I answer. Maybe have the calls ring and get answered in the Grasshopper app rather than my phone's dialer.
No more worries about hardware failure. Decreased monthly cost over having land lines.
The website is easy to navigate, and gives me all the information I need quickly.
I would like to be able to call on my cell phone and have our Grasshopper number show up on caller ID.
Being able to track missed calls and seeing all of our faxes - with one convenient number is really efficient.
Grasshopper has several features that I like: 1. Customizable greetings. You can record your own or have them recorded for you. 2. Incoming calls can either be rolled over to the next line if not answered or programed to ring all lines at once with one or two clicks. 3. Easy to program and set up. 4. Great customer service. Any time I've had any issues (rare), they address it or help me fix it immediately when I call.
Sometimes the cell phone app is a little slow to load initially (if you quit the app). Otherwise, it works pretty well and there's not much to dislike.
When we travel, we can forward it to someone else to answer calls while we're gone. We also have been able to email a voicemail to another person if they're better suited to handle the message. Voicemails are always emailed to you making this task very simple. You can also have your voice mail texted to you for a fee.
The ability to add multiple phone lines and schedules for each extension is great.
Occasionally calls drop...usually only if there are technical issues across all of Grasshopper, however.
1) Routing calls to multiple customer service extensions. 2) Tracking voicemails
Grasshopper is the product you need if your office is always on the go. The product allows you to create one central number with multiple extensions for your employees. This eliminate the need of having so many direct numbers for your clients to remember. In addition, Grasshopper allows virtual faxes. To receive a fax electronically via email simplify your paper, time, and office needs. There appear to be features scheduled to come soon for Grasshopper that can be exciting for small businesses.
There is not much to not like about grasshopper. However, these are minutes attached to each package you purchase. There may come a point when you require more minutes or less minutes. Voice mails are passed on via email. This may be a hassle when on the go and need a simple way of just one click feature for voicemail. The app can use a more simplified look and faster speeds when moving from task to task.
We are solving our virtual telephone needs using Grasshopper. As we a human services organization, we work in the field more than half the time traveling to our consumers. It is imperative to be able to have a central line for customers can call, receive information, and connect to employees anywhere on the go.
The ability to manage phone calls online
That you cannot manage text messages on web browser
Using personal phone but not giving personal number to clients
What I like best about Grasshopper is the fact that I can add multiple phone numbers and then choose which number I want my calls to route to. This is great since I work from home a few times a week. I also like that I receive an email when I have a new voicemail. It helps keeps me on track.
At first I had a hard time adding my office line. For some reason, Grasshopper wouldn't accept the 866 number and extension.
I don't always have to check my work voicemail box. When I'm on the go, I know that my calls will be route to my cell so I don't miss a thing!
Grasshopper does call forwarding and does it well. You can set up a chain so that if the first person does not answer a call, it will be passed to the next person in line, and so on.
Grasshopper for not work well when I tried to forward calls to my Google voice number, because of the validation, but it was not a big deal since I could just forward the calls to my regular number instead.
This tool was ideal for a small team without dedicated office space or phone lines. The call forwarding ensured that no calls works be missed.
That it will forward calls to our employees who are hundreds of miles apart as if we were in the same office building. I started a small business selling sunglass straps called, Backstays, and we only had a couple employees who all lived in different cities. We couldn't afford a office assistant to answer calls and then forward them to the right person. This provided an easy way to not only forward our calls to the employees hundreds of miles apart, and alert us the reason the customer was calling (inquiring about an order, wanting to be a campus rep, calling about a custom design, etc. - Grasshopper lets you program these however you want numerically).
I disliked how misleading the price was. Signed up for the cheaper plan and the price ended up going up almost 50% from the advertised price once we had to add in fees. Still a great service but pricier than I initially wanted to pay and thought was fair.
This solves the problem of having our employees not all working under the same roof. It also lets us keep our personal cell phones with a business line forwarded to them. The major benefit we realized was not having to use a secretary or office assistant.
It has made it super simple to make our clients aware of our schedule, and to customize information being provided to them
It can be difficult to find support and manage your account
We can now utilize away messages, auto responses, and more
Grasshopper was very user friendly. It was easy to use and never really had a need to contact customer support. We used it for a few years and were very satisfied. The implemenation was easy and we loved that we can use it on a line line/VOIP or also log into the Grasshopper app and answer on the go. Grasshopper app is slightly better than our current company.
Downside was that we grew rather quickly and needed to switch to another company to meet our needs. Other than that, we would've stayed. Plus I believe our new company has better perks when using an 800 number with them.
The need to answer mutliple calls at once plus the ability to have mutliple answering the phones. Not to mention, the ease of forwarding the call or forwarding a line to another phone.
Easy to use Nice Help Scout intergration Transcription feature
Web app could use a redesign Text messaging should be included Not the easiest to set up
Grasshopper makes it easy to take phone calls from customers that need assistance. Voicemail and transaction of voicemails make missing calls even easier.
Decent interface, you can text, call, leave voicemails, multiple lines, and instant responses. Also, quick support bot in case you need any assistance. Plus the mobile app, it's a plus!
The app itself doesn't have a built-in option section, so you'll have to use your browser to configure your stuff. The ringing sounds a bit cheap, I might say. Also mentioning a few bugs and having troubles with logged sessions.
Multiple incoming calls, we have different extensions that help us divide the queue. We reduced our missed call rate due to its waiting system. You can also have the mobile option, which is convenient.
Grasshopper is a neat plug-in for Rhinoceros that allows for some smart, complicated math to create experimental design. It requires some almost "coding" but for those with a puzzle-minded brain, it's enjoyable to work with and try different options.
It can be a little complicated at times to understand how to use and put the various bits of code together. It could be easier to use if there were more helpful hints about how to create the flow of your program, or to see things change live as you manipulate.
Grasshopper takes the difficulty of complicated math and algorithms out of your hands while designing and lets you maintain focus on what piece of design you are experimenting with.
Grasshopper being open source is a platform with infinite possibilities. It's amazing that we get to design or simulation workflows and customise the visualisations.
It was hard to get at first. I don't like that is not readable at full view of the script. Better zoom options would improve this.
Building design optimization for daylight, energy and thermal comfort.
The best thing was the simplicity. As a business owner I needed an easy way to get a business phone number so I did not have to give out my personal line. Also the call routing, VM functionality made it a professional solution for us while we were new and growing.
There is not much I really disliked because it solved the issue for my business. I wish it was cheaper because you could leverage Google voice for free but the features you get make it worth it.
I needed a business line for my consulting business so I was not using my personal phone number. I needed this forwarded to my cell phone since I am always on the move.
