Differentiation from Toky.co and callpage.io ? I'm curious because I've recommended both of these solutions to previous customers of mine with positive ROI.

@datarade It looks like callpage.io does only call-backs, while Callingly does direct calls from the browser much more like Toky.co. And unlike Toky.co you don't need to install an SSL certificate on your site, its just a link that you point to. In addition, because its a link, you can drive calls with Callingly from emails, social media, Craigslist, etc. which I believe you can't with the other platforms.

@revitup Just upped your account to 50. For some reason the script missed a few people that did come from PH

Hi Hunters, I’ve always believed that connecting with your customers requires a personal touch - and a phone call always wins when it comes to personal. Some people won’t even do business with you without one. That is why I’ve developed Callingly - to bring the web and phone call experiences together, making it easy for you to talk to your customers without ever giving out your phone number. Callingly turns any phone number into a short link that you can post on social media, embed in your website, or add to your email signature. Anybody can click your link and call you right through their computer or phone! And we have some special bonuses for Product Hunters today: - 50 free call credits for the first 100 to sign up - Exclusive access to extra short usernames! (If you want to get callingly.com/mike or callingly.com/jim, you'd better hurry!) With a Callingly link you can: - Receive calls at any phone number without ever posting it online - Control during what times you’re available for your phone to ring - Know you’re getting a customer call before you pick up the phone - Track where each caller comes from: Google, Adwords, Facebook, Twitter, emails, or any other website. - See what promotions are driving calls and sales - Make it free for anybody in the world to call you through their browser I’d love to hear any and all feedback from the Product Hunt community as well. My direct email is leon@callingly.com Best regards, Leon Klepfish https://callingly.com/leon

I love this! Simple and brilliant idea. One of these "how come no one thought of it before" ideas!

Hi Leon, looks awesome... I realize you are just starting... I hope to see real soon some call packages... Clever how it detects a browser that can't work with the call back feature [in this case Safari]- even though, I'd really like to find someone who figures out a way [i.e. codes it] to just make their product work irrelevant of browser... Only one thing, is no volume discount pricing :/ i.e. if we buy $ 50, $ 100, $ 200 up front ---> staged cheaper prices down to a bottom price... Something like: $ 50 - 20 cents / call $ 100 - 18 cents / call $ 200 - 15 cents / call Because while 25 cents doesn't seem expensive it kinda of is compared to other [albeit not as cool solutions]...
Leon Klepfish
@exlemor Thanks! So Safari doesn't support WebRTC (which is the technology behind browser-based calling) at all. But they say they're working on it, so as soon as that comes out we can make it truly cross-browser. For now we have the fallback. And good suggestion on the volume pricing! We definitely have that in the works.

Awesome concept.. I've heard great things from those who have used it, and will definitely check it out!

you only get 10 credits to start, then you have to buy more I guess. Thanks anyway

@adamrsweet As a product hunter, you start with 50. I made sure that your account was updated.

Nice service but I like Toky more. It has a mobile app, chrome extension, works well and is cheap.
Emmanuel Lemor
@raphchabaud Bonjour Raphaël, I checked out Toky but I see that as more expensive for low usage and slightly different product to me... 1. for one it takes in per agent pricing while Callingly is per call not limiting it to Agent unless I mis-understood that... 2. At $ 15 / month [forgetting the agent topic from #1 above], that's 60 calls per month... so for a small use website who wants to have a cool elegant capability for its clients... this is perfect. To Toky's advantage is DOES include a few extra features - which bring it closer to other tools/solutions but to me it feels that Callingly is slipping through as a unique solution between other offerings on the market...
