Clerk Chat vs OpenPhone

OpenPhone is a legacy business phone system from the early 2000s.

Introducing: your modern messaging platform.

  • SMS, WhatsApp, iMessage & RCS - for business.

    We did the heavy lifting with APIs so when you bring - or choose - a number, you can instantly integrate with the leading messaging protocols, out of the box.

  • Contacts from anywhere.

    Bring your contacts from integrations like Salesforce, Hubspot, Microsoft Dynamics and more! Send mass texts to drive revenue and increase engagement.

  • A drizzle of A.I.

    Search through contacts by typing things like ‘show me all customers in San Francisco who are in area code 94105’ and watch as our system pulls up the relevant contacts, instantly. The future is here.

Existing Phone

Shared numbers for your team

  • One inbox, or shared. Or both!

    Allow members of your company to use their own phone number inside Clerk Chat. Or better yet, share a number to allow everyone to collaborate in real-time or asynchronously.

  • Stay on top of all communication

    Never miss a message. You can assign messages to team-members or use our powerful ‘round-robin’ system

  • Get multiple numbers

    Choose any area-code locally or internationally and scale your organization to offer the best, most local service possible.

Contact Information

Easily manage your work contacts

  • One place for all your work contacts

    Sync your contacts with Clerk Chat from existing sources like Salesforce, Hubspot, Google, Outlook and Microsoft Dynamics.

  • Share a specific contact with a teammate

    Keep contacts private, share them one-by-one or share them all! Choose your own adventure with flexible contact permissions.

  • Improve every touchpoint

    Add color to your contacts like what city they are in, what items they purchased or even their favorite meal - to ensure each message is personalized.

    Owner @ Sunflower MediSpa

    Not only do I LOVE this platform, but the support team is wonderful. A real, and very pleasant person responded quickly when I had a question and worked with me closely to make sure I could accomplish what I was trying to do - even taking the time to do a virtual screenshare meeting with me. Highly recommend!

    Founder @ Greenworks Realty

    I have used many tools over the last 5 years to communicate with my customers over SMS and Clerk has been, by far, the fastest and easiest way to get setup. In no more than 5 minutes I had a phone number connected to a Salesforce channel and was communicating seamlessly with customers.

Helpful Answers

We know there's a lot to learn and read about all that Clerk can do.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.

  • OpenPhone is a cloud-based phone system and business phone service designed to help companies manage their communication needs. It provides businesses with virtual phone numbers that can be used to make and receive calls and manage voicemail and other communication features.
  • To determine if OpenPhone is experiencing downtime or issues, please visit the official OpenPhone website or check their social media accounts for any announcements or updates regarding service disruptions.
  • OpenPhone relies on Twilio as its service provider to serve its customers. The phone numbers provided by OpenPhone are virtual, utilizing VOIP technology. If you intend to use a VOIP number to receive verification codes from highly secure websites, it won't be effective. In such cases, you'll require a non-VOIP number.
  • We cannot provide a definitive assessment of OpenPhone's safety, but examining their security infrastructure, it's worth noting that they hold SOC2 certification, which serves as an assurance of their safety measures. For more specific information about their security protocols, we recommend reaching out to their team and inquiring further.
