Both phone systems are user friendly and easy to set up - an appealing feature for small to medium size businesses. The main drawback of Grasshopper, when compared with Zadarma, is that it is only available to purchase from the USA and Canada currently. In addition, Grasshopper requires existing landlines and mobile phones and provides limited features beyond the basic call features. Grasshopper lacks the advanced features that Zadarma’s PBX offers and is more expensive. Zadrama’s cloud VoIP solution, provides a broader appeal, with free standard features including free CRM integration, free video conferencing and free call back widgets, offering a seamless, cost effective, intuitive, easy to set up and use solution, suitable for small, medium and large enterprises looking to scale.
