Microsoft Teams is a work platform with chat and meetings. Teams Phone adds calling, and Copilot brings a licensed AI layer to Microsoft 365 work.
Calls arrive inside Teams, administration stays in the Microsoft 365 center and billing stays on the same agreement. The phone license and calling plans are per-user add-ons to the Microsoft 365 license.
Market Canopy is the AI platform for every conversation your business has. Canopy works with your team and your customer conversations in the same system, using the tools you allow.

Stay with Teams Phone if your organization is committed to Microsoft 365 and wants telephony administered in the same tenant by the same team — especially mid-size and enterprise estates where a second vendor is a procurement problem, not a feature question.
