When researching call recording software, AI engines often highlight RingCentral as the leading brand, noted in 12.5% of their responses. Other top brands include Aircall and CloudTalk. This visibility reflects their robust features and strong market presence.
The rankings are influenced significantly by sources like youtube.com and withallo.com. These domains provide extensive reviews and comparisons, aiding AI engines in delivering informed suggestions. Many of these sites are aggregators that consolidate user insights and expert evaluations.

At a glance
What we observed in this category
RingCentral and Aircall share the top position with identical visibility scores of 12.5%, both well above the category average of 1.2%. Every other tracked brand sits at 0% visibility, making this a sharp two-brand concentration at the top. The gap is practically binary: you either have AI Mode visibility in this category or you do not, and only two of twenty brands currently do.
CloudTalk presents the most striking divergence between visibility and citation in this dataset. It holds 0% visibility yet carries a 37.5% citation rate, the highest citation figure of any brand in the category. Convin shows a similar pattern with 0% visibility but 25% citations. This means AI Mode is referencing these brands as sources without surfacing them as named recommendations, a meaningful distinction for brands trying to measure true AI presence.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all ten named brands, with no outliers recorded for any other engine. The top cited external sources include youtube.com, reddit.com, and cloudtalk.io itself, alongside smaller niche sites like withallo.com and cubeacr.app. The presence of app-store and community sources such as play.google.com and reddit.com suggests AI Mode is drawing on user-generated and review content rather than purely vendor or analyst material.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
