What is Grasshopper?

Grasshopper is a virtual phone system aimed at solopreneurs and small businesses that want a professional business number without new hardware. It offers toll free, local, and vanity numbers, custom greetings, voicemail transcription, call forwarding to a personal phone, and unlimited users and extensions on its higher tiers. The product is owned by GoTo, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

Grasshopper sells three plans, True Solo, Solo Plus, and Small Business, priced per month with a discount for annual billing. A seven day free trial is available but limits usage to 50 minutes of calling. Because third party sources reported inconsistent current prices for the Small Business tier at the time of this research, exact current pricing should be confirmed on grasshopper.com before publishing.
