Comparison
An honest 2026 comparison of GoTo Connect and Dialpad (features, AI, pricing and total cost) from a Dialpad partner.
If you want one converged, AI-native platform, Dialpad is the better choice, calling, meetings, contact center and sales intelligence in a single app, with real-time transcription, AI call recaps and live coaching built into every interaction. GoTo Connect is a simple SMB UCaaS bundled with GoTo's remote-support suite, so teams already standardised on GoTo's IT and support tooling may still prefer the bundle. For most teams that want real AI on every call and a modern, converged experience, Dialpad wins on AI, simplicity and total cost, and your numbers and config can come with you.

Head to head
Bundled with remote support. GoTo Connect pairs simple UCaaS with GoTo's remote-support and IT tooling, convenient if you already use that suite.
SMB simplicity. An easy, no-frills cloud phone system for smaller teams that value straightforwardness.
Single-vendor IT + comms. One relationship for both communications and remote-support tools.
Native real-time AI on every call. Dialpad Ai gives live transcription, automatic summaries, action items and real-time coaching out of the box, beyond GoTo Connect's core UCaaS.
One converged platform. Calling, meetings, contact center and sales intelligence in a single app and license, with one admin console.
Simpler, modern UX. A clean, consistent interface across desktop and mobile shortens onboarding and lifts adoption.
Competitive pricing & consolidation. One platform for UC, AI and contact center typically removes overlapping subscriptions and lowers total cost.
The decisive factor for most teams is native AI and convergence. GoTo Connect's value is partly the bundle with remote support; advanced AI and contact center typically sit in higher tiers or add-ons. Dialpad bundles real-time AI into the core platform and runs contact center on the same stack, so teams often retire overlapping subscriptions and simplify vendor management. Compare total cost across calling, meetings, AI and contact center together, not just the headline per-seat rate.
Moving is straightforward with the right partner. Codimite, a Dialpad partner, ports your numbers (LNP) and rebuilds extensions, IVR, call routing, queues, voicemail and e911 in Dialpad, running both systems in parallel for a zero-downtime cutover.
