The short answer

Peak PTT sells a 4G LTE push-to-talk radio, the PTT-84G, and its page says voice travels over AT&T's nationwide LTE network ^[3] ^[3]. Push-to-talk means one person holds a button to speak while the others listen.

Voxer's facts covered here are a 14-day free trial for business and a free Personal plan ^[1] ^[2]. Those facts do not describe Voxer's calling features or how it builds groups, so check them in Voxer's own material.

OperatorLink runs in a phone browser with no app install ^[5]. It shows STOP, HOLD and SLOW to the jobsite crew and passes button presses, chat and voice between phones ^[5].

A crew that needs push-to-talk over a cellular network matches the Peak PTT facts ^[3]. A crew that needs a free way to send stop and hold signals on phones it already carries matches the OperatorLink claims ^[5].

What Peak PTT, Voxer is built for

Peak PTT's pages say its radio transmits voice over AT&T's nationwide LTE network ^[3], and its radios are backed by a lifetime hardware warranty with an active service plan ^[3]. Same-business-day shipping is offered on most orders ^[3].

Voxer's facts say it offers a 14-day free trial for business ^[1] and a free Personal plan for individuals ^[2]. No other Voxer facts are available for this page, so its features beyond these are not described here.

What OperatorLink is built for

OperatorLink is made by the team that publishes this site.

OperatorLink shows STOP, HOLD and SLOW to the jobsite crew, and passes button presses, chat and voice between phones in a phone browser ^[5]. STOP releases every held direction on every phone and shows a full-screen alert to everyone else ^[5]. HOLD and SLOW stay on for everyone in the jobsite and are cleared when the last person leaves ^[5].

Holding a move button keeps sending that move to the other phones; if it stops arriving for 2 seconds, they drop it ^[5]. One-tap calls such as Go Ahead, Copy That and All Clear are sent as chat messages ^[5]. Anyone who joins can take part in a voice call run from the phone browser ^[5].

On Android browsers, signals such as STOP make the phone buzz; iPhone Safari ignores the buzz ^[5].

Pricing and fees

Peak PTT's PTT-84G radio is priced at $229 with a $19.95 activation fee and $24.95 a month for unlimited push-to-talk, with no contracts ^[3]. The $24.95 monthly rate is per radio, on Tier-1 U.S. carrier native SIMs ^[4].

Voxer's facts show a 14-day free trial for business and a free Personal plan ^[1] ^[2]. Voxer's facts do not publish a paid business price, so a cost comparison cannot be made from them.

OperatorLink is currently free to use, and no paid plan is built yet ^[5]. Fees beyond that are not described in the product claims for this page.

Setting it up on a jobsite

Peak PTT's pages say the radio transmits voice over AT&T's nationwide LTE network ^[3], and same-business-day shipping is offered on most orders ^[3]. The facts do not describe how crew members are added to a group, so ask the seller for those steps before ordering.

Voxer's facts do not describe how a crew joins a call or builds a group, so check those steps in Voxer's own material before relying on them.

With OperatorLink, the person who starts a jobsite shares a link or QR code, and the crew joins from it ^[5]. A jobsite link stops working 12 hours after the first person joins ^[5]. A jobsite with nobody in it is wiped after 3 idle hours ^[5]. The app can be added to a phone's home screen as a standalone app ^[5].

Things to check before you choose

Does the crew need a radio for each person, and what is the total monthly cost for the crew size? Peak PTT's listed rate is per radio ^[4].

What coverage area does the cellular network cover on the sites where the crew works? Peak PTT's facts name AT&T's nationwide LTE network ^[3], but not local coverage detail.

What does Voxer cost for a business team after the 14-day free trial ends ^[1]? Its facts do not publish that price.

Does the crew use iPhones? On iPhone Safari, the buzz from a STOP signal does not sound ^[5], so a crew on iPhones needs another way to notice a signal.

Is a 12-hour link lifetime long enough for a full shift ^[5]?

How to choose

A crew that needs a radio on a nationwide cellular network matches the Peak PTT facts ^[3].

A crew that wants to try a business tool for 14 days before paying matches the Voxer trial ^[1].

A crew that wants to send STOP, HOLD and SLOW signals from phones in a browser, at no cost, matches the OperatorLink claims ^[5] ^[5].
