    Fit:

    FreeSWITCH offers routing, IVR, recording and queue/call-center primitives for a custom voice system. Aircall supplies a shared workspace, CRM integrations and analytics; those workflows need other applications or development. Retain/export required recordings and reporting separately; no verified Aircall migration importer. Carrier/number transfer needs provider coordination.
