The usual way: Google Workspace for email, OpenPhone for calls, a registrar dashboard for DNS — three subscriptions, around $22–30/mo, and none of them talk to each other.
Alolu: one app, from $9.99/mo
How it works
Reachable in three steps
From signup to a live number and a working custom email in under ten minutes.
Connect a domainSoon
Bring the domain you own and we handle MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC — no DNS tutorial required. Not open yet; your number works without it.
Pick your number
Choose a local or toll-free number. Texts flow both ways and missed calls arrive as transcribed voicemail. Forwarding to your cell ships with early access.
Work one inbox
Every call, text, and email lands in a single stream. Reply from your business identity — from anywhere, with a co-founder if you have one.
Everywhere you work
One inbox, on every screen you own
The same conversation stream in the browser, on your Mac, and in your pocket. Reply from a laptop, keep reading on the train.
The web app comes first; the Mac, iPhone, and Android apps go out with early-access invites.
Built in
The details that make you look established
Voicemail transcription
Read your voicemails like texts. The audio is one tap away.
Business hours
After hours, callers hear your greeting and missed calls get an auto-text.
AliasesSoon
hello@, support@, you@ — one mailbox, as many fronts as you need. Arrives with custom-domain email.
Shared access
Invite a co-founder. Same inbox, same context, no forwarded screenshots.
The stack you're replacing
What a new founder normally stitches together, and what Alolu does instead.
| Three services | Alolu | |
|---|---|---|
| Business phone number | Separate app, separate bill | Included |
| Email on your domain | Per-mailbox seat pricing | Included |
| DNS setup | You, a docs tab, and hope | Handled for you |
| Calls, texts, email together | Three inboxes to check | One stream |
| Monthly cost | About $22–30 | From $9.99 |

FAQ
Fair questions
What exactly do I get?+
A real business phone number (local or toll-free), with calls, texts, voicemail and email all landing in one unified inbox. Email on your own domain is the next thing we ship, and it is included in your plan when it lands — today the number and the shared inbox are what you are paying for.
Do I need to know DNS?+
No. Connect the domain you own (or buy one in Alolu) and we set up MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for you — one click on supported registrars, copy-paste instructions everywhere else.
Why is a card required for the trial?+
SMS fraud. Free tiers on phone-number products get farmed by spammers, and that gets everyone's messages filtered by carriers. A card at signup keeps the network clean so your texts actually deliver. You won't be charged during the 7-day trial.
Is this a burner number app?+
The opposite. Alolu is a business second line: your identity is verified, your number is registered with carriers (A2P 10DLC in the US), and it's built to be the permanent front door of your product.
Can I take calls on my cell?+
Voicemail works today: missed calls arrive transcribed in your inbox, so nothing is lost while you set up. Forwarding calls through to your personal phone ships with early access, and the iOS and Android apps with full in-app calling come after that.
What's the AI tier?+
A planned upgrade where an AI employee answers your calls, texts back missed ones, and triages email — running on the same inbox you already have. Nothing to migrate, it just switches on.
