From $199/mo
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAKixieFair | 1.4GPAReadymodeWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo published prices: the pricing page lists three plans, and Kixie's own fact page says per-seat prices are quoted per team. With no figure it sits at the ordinary grade, and there's no per-head cost for five to give. | 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 7-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 | CCalls and texts that sync both ways with your CRM, IVR, queues, recording, live coaching and a power dialer. It does the sales calling job fully, but that's narrower than a full phone system, and the AI extras are paid add-ons. | 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 | CNo App Store rating on record. You'll need to connect your CRM and set up dial lists before it earns its keep. | 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 | BA Chrome extension and a web dashboard, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Zapier and a developer API. No desktop or phone apps on record. | 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. |

Worth knowing
Kixie
- Kixie publishes no plan prices: the pricing page lists three plans, and its own fact page says per-seat prices are quoted per team.
- AI Human Voice Detection is limited to the Multi-Line PowerDialer plan and is sold as a premium add-on.
- ConnectionBoost, Conversation Intelligence and Do Not Call compliance are add-ons on top of a plan.
- Kixie's pages name a Chrome extension and a web dashboard but list no desktop or mobile apps.
Readymode
- Only registered businesses in the US or Canada can sign up, after a compliance review, and calls reach only the US and Canada.
- Starter is limited to 1 to 4 licenses without integrations, and iQ needs at least 5 licenses; the pricing page does not say whether its prices are monthly or annual.
- Outbound minutes are free under a fair use policy, inbound minutes cost $0.02 each, and voicemail drop costs extra for those who qualify.
- It is voice-first: there is no texting of its own, so SMS needs a service such as Volt or ClickSend. Annual plans are prepaid and non-refundable.
