The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $30 a user a month on annual billing sits at the start of the dearest tenth of business-phone tools, against $19 in the middle, and the cheapest plan needs 10 users. The 3-user package is $199 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 7-day free trial with no credit card. No free plan. |
| Features | C | Calling, texting, power dialer, AI voice analytics and a voice agent. Salesforce integration is limited to xPro and extra analytics minutes cannot be bought. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Numbers, compliance registration and integrations all need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and a browser extension, with 8 integrations on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Sales and lead-response teams that want unlimited calling and texting per seat
- HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or Zoho users who log calls to the CRM

Worth knowing

- Local Presence is $300 a month, and managed A2P 10DLC registration is a $500 one-time fee.
- Salesforce integration is limited to xPro; extra analytics minutes cannot be bought, so heavy users must move to xPro.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
