For most small-to-mid teams that don't need outbound PSTN dialing: yes, by 70-85%. A 10-agent team on Aircall pays €400+/month minimum (per-user) plus per-minute charges. WebCallHub is €99/mo flat with unlimited calls.
Pick Aircall when you need a full cloud phone system — outbound dialing, SMS, call queues with IVR, multi-language voicemail trees, hundreds of CRM integrations, mobile apps. Aircall is best for teams running an actual call center. WebCallHub is best for adding a 'call us' button to a website.
Yes — many teams keep Aircall for outbound + traditional phone calls and add WebCallHub as the inbound website-visitor channel. Others fully replace Aircall when they realize 80% of their calls were already coming through their website. Migration takes about 1 hour.
No — WebCallHub is browser-only (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Aircall has native iOS + Android apps for agents in the field. If your reps work from phones outside an office, Aircall wins. If they're at a laptop/desktop, browser-only is actually simpler.
WebCallHub: 5 minutes (sign up, paste one script tag in your site). Aircall: 1-2 weeks including SIM porting if you're moving existing numbers, IVR configuration, user provisioning, and integration setup.
Both offer EU data residency. WebCallHub is EU-hosted by default (Hetzner Helsinki). Aircall offers an EU region option but US-default; check your contract.
Free for one agent forever. No credit card. EU-hosted, GDPR-first.
