Quo, formerly OpenPhone, charges extra for its AI agent. Sage comes included.
Quo (formerly OpenPhone) is the closest thing to CallSprout for small teams. The difference is the AI: Quo sells its agent as a paid monthly add-on, while Sage is part of the plan.
Who Quo is for
Quo, the product formerly called OpenPhone, built a genuinely good small-business phone. Clean app, transparent plans, real customer reviews, and a named AI agent with a live demo number you can call. If you are weighing CallSprout against it, you are comparing two products that actually understand small teams.
The split is the AI. Quo's agent is a paid add-on stacked on top of your per-seat plan, and the way you meet it is to dial their number. CallSprout includes Sage in the plan and turns the demo around: leave your number and she calls you. Same idea, less friction, and nothing extra to buy before your phone answers itself.

Where CallSprout pulls ahead
The same small-business instincts, with the AI included.
No separate AI agent to add at checkout. The voice agent is part of what you already pay for.
Instead of dialing a demo line, you leave your number and Sage rings you back in about ten seconds.
Usage is metered to the second and posted on the pricing page. No bundled-minute games, no rounding.
Cloud calling, the apps, and the AI agent in a single per-user plan, instead of a base plan with the agent bolted on.
Where Quo wins
No phone system is right for everyone. Here is where Quo is the stronger pick.
- Quo has years in market and thousands of customer reviews. If a long public track record is what tips your decision, they have more of one today.
- Their app is mature and widely used, with a large library of integrations built up over time.
- If you specifically want to test an AI agent by calling in on your own schedule, Quo's published inbound demo number does that.
Have Sage call you.
The fastest way to compare is to hear it. Leave your number and Sage, our AI voice agent, calls you in about 10 seconds.
Switching, answered.
- Is CallSprout a good OpenPhone or Quo alternative?
- Yes. CallSprout covers the same small-business calling Quo (formerly OpenPhone) does, with the AI voice agent included in the plan instead of sold as a separate monthly add-on.
- Does CallSprout charge extra for the AI agent like Quo does?
- No. Sage is included. Quo prices its agent as an add-on on top of your seats, while CallSprout meters Sage usage by the second with no separate agent fee.
- How do I hear CallSprout's AI agent?
- Leave your number and Sage calls you back in about ten seconds. You do not have to dial an inbound demo line to hear how she handles a call.
- Will switching from OpenPhone be disruptive?
- CallSprout is cloud based and runs on the devices you already use, so moving over does not mean new hardware. You keep working from the same phones, computers, and mobiles.
