Compare Relay vs. iPlum

Relay is a communication platform for businesses that offers phone and SMS services for teams, developed in Montreal. Teams can manage calls and messages directly from their browser using a shared inbox along with features like call forwarding, voicemail transcription, call recording, and signed webhooks. Unlike other services that mark up minutes, Relay operates through your personal Twilio or Telnyx account, ensuring that you only pay the provider's rates while keeping the numbers registered in your name. The only charges incurred are for the software itself, billed in Canadian dollars. Various plans are available that accommodate multiple team members, with additional seats costing between 3 to 7 dollars based on the selected plan. AI-generated call summaries utilize your own API key, eliminating any extra fees for users. You can also customize daily messaging and monthly minute caps for each team, with features that automatically pause outbound sending if an integration becomes overloaded while still accepting incoming calls. The platform supports both English and French, making it a versatile option. It serves as a Canadian alternative to competitors like OpenPhone, Aircall, and RingCentral, and offers a free plan with no credit card required for sign-up, making it easily accessible for new users. This flexibility and transparency in pricing make Relay an appealing choice for teams looking to streamline their communication.
