| Conversations | An inbox for email, WhatsApp, Teams, phone and video. | A shared inbox. |
| Telephony | Built in, on your own SIP trunk or through Eylo VoIP. | Integrations with software you already use. |
| What you choose | Separate apps, ours, others' or your own. | Teamleader Focus, or Orbit for agencies. |
| Quotes and invoices | Quotes, invoices, price agreements and contracts in the Sales app. | Quotes with online signing, invoices, and e-invoicing through Teamleader One. |
