How we grade them
| 2.4GPAJustCallFair | 1.4GPAReadymodeWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$29 a head for five on Team, billed yearly ($39 monthly), right at this category's dearest tenth ($29 and up). There's a 2-license minimum, so one person still pays $58 a month. The power dialer needs Pro at $49. | DGraded against its own alternatives, as it's a call-centre dialer: $199 a license a month ($239 billed monthly), about four times the power-dialer plans of JustCall ($49) or Aircall ($50). Predictive dialing and free outbound minutes are what the extra buys. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 14-day free trial with no credit card needed. No free plan. | FNothing free: no free plan and no trial, just a demo. Sign-up also waits on a compliance review, and annual plans are prepaid and non-refundable. |
| Features | BNumbers in 70+ countries, calls, SMS, MMS and WhatsApp in a team inbox, phone menus, unlimited AI transcription, and power and predictive dialers higher up. It covers the whole job, and then some for sales teams. | CIt does the outbound job fully: four dialing modes up to 20 or more lines per agent, a built-in CRM, scripts, live monitoring and DNC tools. But the listing names gaps: no texting of its own, and calls only reach the US and Canada. |
| Ease of use | C4.37 from about 1,100 App Store ratings, behind the better-rated phone apps here. There's routing and CRM setup to do before a team is running. | CNo App Store rating on record. Only registered US or Canadian businesses get in, after a compliance review, and then there are lead lists, scripts and campaigns to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Zendesk, Intercom, Slack and Zapier, plus a public API. | CWeb only, with no phone or desktop app. Salesforce, HighLevel, Pipedrive and Zapier connect, but only on iQ, which needs at least 5 licenses. Starter has no integrations at all. |
| Best for | sales teams calling and texting in many countries | call centres dialing big lead lists |
