Best for a sales team calling and texting from one dialer
Aloware is cloud calling and texting for sales and support teams, with a power dialer, AI call analytics and apps on every platform. It starts at $30 a user a month with a 10-user minimum, and texts, carrier fees and compliance setup are billed on top.
Who Aloware is for
- Fits if you run a sales team of 10 or more that lives on outbound calls and texts
- Works for support teams that want calls and SMS in one place
Who Aloware is not for
- Not for you if you are a solo user or a team under 5, because per-user plans need 5 to 10 seats
- Pricey if you add the extras: Local Presence is $300 a month and managed A2P 10DLC registration is $500 once
- Watch out: bulk texts, sequences, automated activity and toll-free calls are billed by usage, plus carrier fees of $0.005 to $0.015 per text segment
- Watch out: the 3-user and 5-user packages cap minutes and texts, and heavy users are pushed to xPro

Keep Aloware, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Aloware you would be making phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $360 a year.
What you could not
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Phone numbers that change for each visitor so every call is traced to its source.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Aloware’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
