5 reasons to choose Allo instead of Quo

Allo is the phone system that handles the work your calls create. Here is what changes when your team leaves Quo.

1. Calls that come through clear, on our own network

Quo

Every call runs over a network, and when it has a bad day, a call that drops or sounds bad is a customer you lose.

Allo

Allo runs its own VoIP infrastructure instead of reselling someone else's.

2. You choose who answers, and when

Quo

On Quo Starter there is no phone menu: phone menus start on Business, at $23 a user.

Allo

Change business hours and call routing yourself, in the app.

3. An Allo agent handles the work after each call

Quo

Quo writes transcripts and AI summaries from its Business plan, AI call tags need Scale, and its follow-up drafting, Quo Agent, is still in beta.

Allo

After each call, Allo writes the summary, drafts the follow-up and updates your CRM.

Included in every paid Allo seat.

4. A team that looks after you, from the switch on

Quo

Moving your numbers is the step teams worry about: a port that goes wrong means calls nobody gets.

Allo

Email and chat with our team, and we move your numbers for free while Quo keeps ringing.

Perfect, thank you!

5. A flat price for the AI receptionist

Quo

Quo's AI agent, Sona, answers 10 calls a month free, then bills by the call: $25 for 40 calls, up to $199 for 600.

Allo

Allo's AI receptionist is $32 a month per agent, billed yearly, however many calls it answers.

At about 100 AI-answered calls a month: $32 on Allo, $47.5 on Quo. See the math

Quo or Allo: which one fits your team

Quo is the better choice for some teams, and we would rather say so. Here is where it fits better, from Quo's own site, and where Allo does.

QuoChoose Quo if

  • You want a shared team number at a low price. Quo Starter is $15 a user billed annually and shares numbers with up to 10 paid users.
  • Your AI agent only answers a handful of calls. Sona answers 10 calls a month free on every Quo plan, in English, Spanish or French.
  • You want ChatGPT or Claude on the cheapest plan. Quo's MCP connector is on every plan from $15, where Allo's starts at Business.

Choose Allo if

  • You want transcripts, AI summaries and native CRM sync on every plan, from $10, where Quo keeps them for Business at $23.
  • You want AI on the calls you make, not only the ones you get. Sona answers inbound calls; Allo summarizes every call and drafts the follow-up on Business.
  • You want your AI receptionist priced per agent, $32 a month billed annually, however many calls it takes, rather than by the call.
  • You want AI call tags in your CRM on the $32 Business plan, where Quo keeps them for Scale at $35.
