How we make this list: we compare pricing pages, product documentation and public user reviews. Ratings come from G2, Capterra or Trustpilot, with the date we checked them.
Key takeaways
- Power dialling calls one number at a time from a list, while parallel dialling calls several lines at once and connects the first answer, so match the mode to your list quality.
- The cheapest plan is rarely the dialler plan, so check which plan unlocks the dialler and what it costs with the dialler switched on.
- Seat minimums matter more than headline prices for small teams, because some enterprise diallers need nine or more seats before they will sell to you.
- Every dialler in this guide logs calls to a CRM, but the depth of that logging varies, so test it with your CRM before buying.
What is an auto dialer and how does it work?
An auto dialer is software that dials numbers from a list automatically, so sales reps spend their time talking instead of punching in numbers and waiting for rings. In preview mode, the rep sees the next contact and chooses when to call. In power mode, the system dials one number at a time and connects the rep the moment someone answers. In parallel mode, it dials several numbers at once and connects the first person who picks up. Predictive dialling uses algorithms to time calls against agent availability, but it is mainly built for large call centres.
How much does auto dialer software cost for a small business?
Auto dialer software for small business in this guide runs from $12 to $99.99 per user a month at the starting tier. Calilio starts at $12 per user a month billed yearly, and CallHippo and Ringover start at $19 per user a month on annual billing. CloudTalk starts at $25 per user a month, with the Power Dialer add-on at $15, making $40 per user a month with the dialler switched on. Aircall starts at $30, JustCall Pro at $49, and Close and Trellus at $99 and $99.99. Monthly billing usually costs 10 to 40 percent more than annual billing, and calling usage, extra numbers, and taxes sit on top of the licence price.
Which dialer mode should a small team choose?
A small team should start with preview or power dialling, because both keep the rep in control of each call and work well with small, high-quality lists. Preview mode suits consultative selling where the rep needs to read notes before dialling. Power mode suits steady outbound prospecting, where the list is long and each call is short. Parallel dialling only pays off when the team makes hundreds of calls a day and can accept the risk of silent calls, where a prospect answers and hears nothing because no agent was free.
What should I check before buying an auto dialer?
Check four things before buying an auto dialer: the seat minimum, the plan that unlocks the dialler, CRM logging, and compliance tools. Some vendors only sell to teams of nine or more, which rules them out for a small business. The dialler is often an add-on or a higher tier, so confirm the price with the dialler switched on, not the cheapest plan price. CRM logging should write the call outcome, recording, and notes to the contact record without manual work. Compliance tools should include do-not-call list handling and calling-hour limits, because a flagged number kills connect rates for the whole team.
We compared diallers on dialling modes, published pricing with the dialler switched on, seat minimums, CRM integrations, and fit for teams of one to ten people. We read each vendor homepage and used the published price where the vendor shows one, marking the rest with the most recent comparison of the vendor pricing page. We favoured tools with no seat minimum and a published price over enterprise diallers that need a sales call. Last verified: 15 November 2026. Prices in this guide were checked on 15 November 2026, and calling usage, numbers, and taxes are extra.

These eight tools cover the ways small teams buy a dialler: a full phone system with dialling built in, a CRM with dialling built in, a Chrome extension that dials inside the CRM, and a budget cloud phone system.
#1CloudTalk
Best for: Small sales and support teams that want power and parallel dialling inside a complete cloud phone system4.4/5 on
G2 (1,938 reviews, checked Oct 2026)

Starting price$40 per user per month (Starter $25 plus Power Dialer add-on $15, annual billing)
Free planNo free plan; 14-day free trial
CloudTalk is a cloud phone system and call centre platform for sales and support teams, and it is the strongest all-round dialler for small business because the dialler sits inside a complete phone system. It offers preview, power, and parallel dialling up to five lines, plus a smart dialler for click-to-call queues, with calls, recordings, and transcripts logged to the CRM automatically. The Starter plan costs $25 per user a month on annual billing, and the Power Dialer add-on costs $15, making $40 per user a month with the dialler switched on, according to November 2026 comparisons of the vendor pricing page.
What we like- Preview, power, and parallel dialling with local numbers in 160 plus countries, 100 plus CRM integrations, no seat minimum, start with a single user
Watch out for- No predictive dialling mode, and the vendor homepage FAQ lists plans in euros at 19 to 49 per user a month, which conflicts with the dollar figures in recent comparisons, so confirm the currency before budgeting
#2JustCall
Best for: Teams that run calling, SMS, and WhatsApp outreach side by side4.3/5 on
G2 (2,395 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit justcall.io
Starting price$49 per user per month for the Pro plan, annual billing
Free planNo free plan; 14-day free trial
JustCall is an AI communication platform for sales and support teams that combines calling, texting, and WhatsApp in one place. Its diallers include power, dynamic, and parallel modes with up to ten lines, plus local presence dialling and smart reattempt rules that improve connect rates. Every conversation is logged to the CRM, and AI features summarise calls and coach reps on talk time and follow-up. The Pro plan costs $49 per user a month on annual billing, according to a November 2026 read of the vendor pricing page, and a sale price of $37 was noted the same month.
What we like- Power, dynamic, and 10-line parallel diallers, local presence and smart reattempt rules, 70 plus native integrations, AI call summaries and coaching
Watch out for- The dialler sits on the Pro plan, so the entry price is higher than the cheapest JustCall tier, and an older comparison lists $29 a month, which conflicts with the $49 figure from a November 2026 read of the vendor pricing page
#3Close
Best for: Startups that want the CRM and the dialler in one product4.7/5 on
G2 (2,069 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit close.com
Starting price$99 per user per month for the Growth plan, annual billing
Free planNo
Close is a CRM with built-in calling, email, SMS, and automation, so a small sales team can run its whole outreach from one product without buying a separate phone system. The power dialler works through call lists in the CRM, logs every call and outcome to the contact record automatically, and pairs with email sequences and workflows that follow up without manual work. The Growth plan costs $99 per user a month on annual billing, according to a November 2026 comparison of the vendor pricing page, and calling usage is charged on top.
What we like- Built-in calling, email, SMS, and automation in the CRM, power dialler included, no separate phone system to buy or integrate, AI assistant that qualifies leads and books meetings
Watch out for- The $99 starting price comes from a November 2026 comparison of the vendor pricing page, and there is no predictive dialling, so high-volume floors may need a dedicated dialler instead
#4CallHippo
Best for: Affordable parallel dialling for global outbound teams4.4/5 on
G2 (416 reviews, checked Oct 2026)
Visit callhippo.com
Starting price$19 per user per month, annual billing

AI features coach agents, summarise calls, and automate follow-up tasks after each call.

What we like- Preview, power, progressive, predictive, and parallel diallers in one tool, virtual numbers in many countries, AI coaching and post-call automation, low starting price
Watch out for- The $19 starting price comes from the vendor own comparison blog rather than the pricing page itself, and the interface packs many features into one screen, which takes new users time to learn
#5Aircall

What we like- Power dialler on Professional plans and up, 250 plus integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zendesk, AI assistants for live coaching and transcription, fast setup with no hardware
Watch out for- The $30 starting price comes from a November 2026 comparison of the vendor pricing page, and the power dialler is not on the cheapest plan, so small teams pay more than the headline price to get it
#6

Best for: Small sales and recruiting teams needing a power dialler
Visit ringover.com
Starting price$19 per user per month, annual billing
Free planNo

Watch out for- The $19 starting price comes from a November 2026 comparison of the vendor pricing page, and parallel dialling is an add-on, so teams that need it pay more than the starting price
#7
Trellus
Best for: Solo sellers and small teams who dial inside their CRM all day
Visit trellus.ai
Starting price$99.99 per seat per month for the Power plan
Free planNo
Trellus is a Chrome extension that adds power dialling and parallel dialling up to five lines inside the CRM or sales engagement platform a rep already uses, rather than making them switch to a separate dialler.

Power costs $99.99 per seat per month, and Power plus Parallel costs $149.99, both published on the vendor own site and checked in November 2026.
What we like- Power and parallel dialling inside Salesloft, Outreach, HubSpot, Apollo, and Salesforce, no seat minimum, buy one seat online, voicemail drop and spam remediation included
Watch out for- It is a Chrome extension, not a full phone system, so it needs a supported CRM or sales platform underneath it, and there is no free plan and no free trial
#8
Calilio
Best for: Budget teams that need a simple power dialler with a cloud phone system
Visit calilio.com
Starting price$12 per user per month, billed yearly, for the Standard plan
Free planNo
Calilio is a cloud phone system for growing businesses that includes a power dialler on every plan, which makes it the cheapest entry point in this guide.

Premium at $28 a month adds more minutes, SMS, and AI voice minutes. Every plan includes free monthly calls and SMS, and setup takes about five minutes with no hardware needed.
What we like- Lowest starting price in this guide, power dialler on every plan, free local number on paid plans, free monthly minutes and SMS included, 14-day money-back guarantee
Watch out for- Fewer CRM integrations than CloudTalk or Aircall, with Pipedrive and HubSpot native and the rest through a connector, and no predictive dialling mode
Frequently asked questions
What is the best auto dialer for a small business with two reps?
CloudTalk is the best fit for a two-person team, because it has no seat minimum, starts at one user, and combines the dialler with a full phone system. CallHippo is the budget alternative at $19 per user a month. Avoid enterprise diallers with seat minimums of nine or more, because they will not sell to a two-person team at all, whatever the headline price says.
Is parallel dialling legal for small businesses?
Parallel dialling is legal in most places, but it is regulated, and the rules differ by country and by the type of call. In the US, the FCC limits abandoned calls, which happen when a prospect answers and no agent is free, and requires caller ID to be shown accurately. Use a dialler with do-not-call handling, calling-hour limits, and abandoned-call controls, and check the rules for every country you call before switching parallel mode on.
How many calls can a rep make per day with a power dialler?
A rep using a power dialler typically makes 80 to 150 calls a day, against 30 to 50 dialling manually, because the system removes dialling time, busy signals, and voicemails from the working day. The real number depends on list quality, answer rates, and talk time: a list of warm leads with long conversations produces fewer calls than a cold list with short ones. Measure connects and conversations, not raw dials, when you judge the tool.
Do auto dialers work with HubSpot and Salesforce?
Yes, every dialler in this guide integrates with HubSpot or Salesforce, and most cover both. CloudTalk, Aircall, and JustCall have native integrations that log calls, recordings, and outcomes to the contact record. Trellus works inside the CRM itself as a Chrome extension. Before buying, test the integration with your exact CRM setup, because custom fields and workflows can change what syncs.
What is the difference between a power dialer and a predictive dialer?
A power dialer calls one number at a time and connects the rep the moment someone answers, so the rep is always ready when the call connects. A predictive dialer uses algorithms to dial several numbers ahead of agent availability, which raises talk time on large floors but can produce abandoned calls when no agent is free. Small teams should use power dialling, because predictive dialling needs volume to work and brings stricter compliance rules.
