The short version

Only Quo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Groove billed per ticket at $1 rather than per agent, so support cost scales with how many customers get in touch; Quo unlimited calling to US and Canadian numbers is subject to a Fair Usage Policy rather than being truly unlimited
