Aircall alternatives

Reachkit, the company behind this page, makes cold email software. It sells no phone numbers or dialers, so it isn’t on this list. Each price below comes from the vendor’s own pages in October and November 2026, and any figure from a third party says so.

Aircall prices every plan per license with a floor of three, keeps the Power Dialer and voicemail drop for Professional, and renews contracts unless you give notice in time. The right replacement depends on which of those pushed you out:

• Closest swap at a lower entry price: Dialpad.
• One or two people who don’t want to pay for three: Quo.
• Cheap lines in many countries: CallHippo.
• A power dialer on one or two seats: CloudTalk.
• Calls outside the US and Canada in the seat price: Ringover Business.
• A small sales team that texts as much as it calls: JustCall.
• Reps who dial all day, with no yearly contract: PhoneBurner.
• Teams that live in HubSpot: Aloware.
• An AI agent that answers calls, without a phone system: Retell AI.

The Aircall profile breaks down every plan and add-on.

Dialpad is the rival Aircall’s own pricing FAQ compares itself with. One account can hold four Dialpad products: Connect (business lines), Sell (sales calling), Support (contact center) and Resolve (AI agents). Pick it if you want Aircall’s shape, a phone system that logs to your CRM, for less per seat.

Cost (checked October 2026): on yearly billing a Connect seat is $15 on Standard or $25 on Pro. Sell goes from $39 to $79 a seat, and Support from $89 to $149. Third-party guides put Connect at $27 and $35 billed monthly, plus a three-seat minimum on Pro. The invoice adds taxes, E911 and a per-user cost recovery fee Dialpad charges itself, with no amounts on the pricing page. Connect has a 14-day trial.

Strengths:

• Every Connect seat gets live transcription and AI recaps. On Aircall, call summaries cost extra until Professional.
• G2: 4.4 for Connect, about 4,200 reviews. Trustpilot: 4.1 from 3,243 (November 2026).

Drawbacks: slow support is a recurring complaint, and Dialpad’s small-business page reserves phone support for Pro and Enterprise. Voicemail drop and local presence come included from Sell Advanced ($59), sold through sales.

Versus Aircall: a lower entry price, but Aircall says it charges no recovery fee, and its $50 Professional seat already includes a Power Dialer and voicemail drop. See the Dialpad profile and our Dialpad alternatives.

Quo (OpenPhone until its rename in September 2025) gives a small US or Canadian team shared business numbers for calls and texts, plus Sona, an AI agent that picks up calls. It suits a founder or a pair tired of paying Aircall for a third license nobody uses.

Cost (checked October 2026): per user a month on yearly billing, Starter costs $15, Business $23 and Scale $35; paid monthly, the same plans cost $19, $33 and $47. So one person on Starter pays $15. Before you can text US numbers, carrier registration costs $19.50 up front and $1.50 to $3 monthly. A card is required for the 7-day trial, during which US texting is off.

Strengths:

• About 3,400 G2 reviews average 4.7 (October 2026), and ease of use is a leading theme in them.
• On every plan: the API, free porting of your numbers, 10 Sona calls a month (1,000 credits), and official Claude and ChatGPT connectors that let an assistant summarize your calls or send a text.

Drawbacks: auto-dialers are banned outright by Quo’s Fair Use Policy, which also names cold calling as prohibited, so nothing here replaces Aircall’s Power Dialer. You need Business for CRM integrations, and Starter’s only support channel is email.

Versus Aircall: a shared line for a small team rather than a call center, and Quo’s blog says it has no local numbers outside the US and Canada. See the Quo profile.

CallHippo, a cloud phone provider based in Ahmedabad, India, sells numbers in 150+ countries (local, toll-free and mobile) next to call-center plans, a parallel dialer and AI voice agents. Choose it when you mostly need phone lines and want each seat to cost less than Aircall’s $30.

Cost (checked October 2026): the $18 Starter seat, billed yearly, includes 1,000 minutes and 100 texts within the US and Canada; CallHippo’s help center puts the month-to-month price at $25. At $30 a seat billed yearly, Professional makes US and Canada minutes unlimited and adds call recording plus HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho. A $0 Basic plan runs for six months but includes no minutes. Trial: 10 days, no card.

Strengths:

• A standard number comes free with every user. Aircall gives one number per plan and bills $6 a month for each added number.
• Ratings in October 2026: G2 4.4 (about 410 reviews), Capterra 4.4 (about 690).

Drawbacks: you can’t switch off auto-renewal, nothing is refunded, and a yearly plan cancelled early is still owed in full. On Trustpilot it scores 2.8 across 690 reviews.

Versus Aircall: CallHippo’s fair-use rules forbid auto and predictive dialing on the office plans, so call volume belongs on its Parallel Dialer, priced from $35 a user behind a “Contact Us” button. See the CallHippo profile.

CloudTalk, built in Bratislava, Slovakia, gives sales and support teams numbers in 160+ countries, call routing and IVR, CRM logging, AI voice agents and two outbound dialers. It’s a close match to Aircall’s Professional toolkit for a team too small to fill three licenses.

Cost (checked October 2026): per user a month, yearly against monthly billing: Starter $25 or $34, Essential $29 or $39, Expert $49 or $69. Expert needs three licences; the first two plans can be bought one seat at a time. Yearly add-ons: the Power Dialer at $15 a user (built into Expert) and the Parallel Dialer at $39, dialing as many as 10 numbers together. US accounts pay an 11% cost recovery fee on the software portion. Free trial: 14 days, no card.

Strengths:

• A two-rep team on Essential plus the Power Dialer pays $88 a month before that fee, against $150 for the three Professional licenses Aircall requires before its dialer unlocks.
• Calls to the US and Canada are unlimited on every plan up to a fair-use cap of 10,000 minutes per user each month, and Essential and up include an official MCP server.

Drawbacks: yearly billing locks in 12 months and renews automatically unless you give 30 days’ notice, and the terms say no reminder comes first. Call issues and connection trouble lead the complaints on G2.

Versus Aircall: a lower floor, with a published 11% fee where Aircall says it charges none. See the CloudTalk profile.

Ringover, from a French team, is a cloud phone system for sales, support and recruiting, with a power dialer, 100+ native integrations, including recruiting software, and numbers in 65 countries on Business. It’s for a team of three or more calling abroad, since Aircall quotes international rates on Essentials and Professional only on request.

Cost (checked October 2026): the US pricing page shows Talk at $19, Business $49 and Unified $69 a user a month, each on a 12-month commitment for at least 3 users. A Ringover page on unlimited calls labels those annual and gives monthly prices of $29, $69 and $89. The sign-up page says “starting from” $15 and $47. On US invoices Ringover adds $2.97 a user for cost recovery and $0.97 for E911, both monthly.

Strengths:

• Business includes unlimited calls to 90 destinations, with footnotes by number location.
• October 2026 ratings: G2 4.6 (about 500 reviews), Capterra 4.7 (about 890). There’s also a read-only MCP server.

Drawbacks: leave early and you pay the rest of the term, seat counts can’t be reduced until it ends, and renewals can bring increases of up to 6% a year.

Versus Aircall: both start at three seats, but Ringover Business puts international calls in the seat price and itemizes its US fees. See the Ringover profile.

JustCall is SaaS Labs’ calling and texting platform for sales and support teams, with numbers in 70+ countries, SMS and WhatsApp, a sales dialer and an AI Voice Agent. For a sales pair it combines a power dialer and texting with a two-license floor instead of three.

Cost (checked October 2026): yearly billing puts Team at $29 a user a month, Pro at $49 and Pro Plus at $89. Month to month, JustCall’s help center lists $39, $69 and $109. Any plan needs at least two licenses. Pro brings the power dialer and bulk texts, so two reps pay $98 a month billed yearly. The AI Voice Agent is extra at $0.99 a minute, over three times Aircall’s $0.29. No card for the 14-day trial.

Strengths:

• Texting comes with an allowance (Team: 500 segments a user; Pro and above: 1,000), and Team, Pro and Pro Plus transcribe calls with unlimited AI minutes.
• HubSpot certifies its app, Salesforce lists it on AppExchange, and JustCall runs its own MCP server.

Drawbacks: the minutes limit depends on which JustCall page you read: unlimited in its Fair Usage Policy, 1,000 outbound per user in a pricing-page pop-up. Renewal is automatic without 30 days’ notice, and payments are non-refundable.

Versus Aircall: multi-line predictive dialing needs SalesPro, sold by quote, which JustCall’s cost guide prices at $249 a user monthly. Aircall’s Power Dialer works through lists of up to 1,000 numbers on Professional. See the JustCall profile.

PhoneBurner, around since 2008, is a dialer first: one line at a time, a CRM built in, and calls to the US and Canada only. It suits reps who used Aircall mostly to work through lists and want to drop the yearly contract.

Cost (checked October 2026): month to month, a seat is $165 on Standard, $195 on Professional and $215 on Premium; an annual contract lowers those to $140, $165 and $183. No per-minute charges, under reasonable-use terms, and the admin seat costs nothing. Texting requires Premium, carrier approval and a $50 one-time application fee. The trial gives free calling minutes without a card.

Strengths:

• No contract or setup fee by default, seats you can add or drop, and cancellation in the app.
• October 2026 ratings: G2 4.7 (about 290 reviews), Capterra 4.8 (176).

Drawbacks: a single Standard seat, month to month ($165), already costs more than the three Professional licenses Aircall requires, billed yearly ($150). Only Premium gets texting, inbound routing and AI call notes.

Versus Aircall: PhoneBurner is built around the outbound dial session, with its own CRM and email follow-ups, where Aircall is a whole phone system with IVR and a shared inbox. See the PhoneBurner profile.

Aloware, based in Los Angeles, builds calling, texting, a power dialer, AI voice and text agents and compliance tools around the CRM a sales team already uses. It’s for teams that chose Aircall for HubSpot logging and would rather work from HubSpot itself.

Cost (checked October 2026): three per-user plans, each with a seat minimum: iPro (10 users) at $30, uPro (5) at $60 and xPro (5) at $85 a month on the discounted term, or $40, $70 and $100 paid month to month. The pricing page says that discount is annual while other Aloware pages say quarterly, so ask before you sign. The Power Dialer begins at uPro. Smaller teams can buy a $199 monthly package for up to 3 users with 500 minutes and 500 texts. 7-day trial, no card.

Strengths:

• A HubSpot certified app that lets reps text from inside HubSpot, with workflow triggers on uPro and xPro.
• Per-user plans include unlimited one-to-one calls and texts across the US and Canada; automated usage has a public rate card, and there’s a first-party MCP server.

Drawbacks: the seat minimums sit above Aircall’s three, licenses auto-renew with no refunds, and the cons G2 reviewers mention most are call issues and slow performance.

Versus Aircall: Aircall sends call logs into HubSpot, while Aloware runs calling and texting from the HubSpot record; its pricing page lists an AI voice agent from 10 cents a minute. See the Aloware profile.

Retell AI lets you build AI voice agents that take and make calls, paid per minute from a prepaid balance. It’s for a team that priced Aircall’s AI Voice Agents for reception or callbacks, and needs no phone system around them.

Cost (checked October 2026): the floor is $0.07 a minute: a $0.055 infrastructure fee plus whatever voice, model and phone line you choose. By our math from its rate card, common setups cost $0.11 to $0.20 a minute: about $127 for 1,000 minutes with one number. New accounts receive a one-time $10 credit.

Strengths:

• Up to 20 concurrent calls free, and you can use your own numbers over SIP from Twilio, Vonage or Telnyx.
• October 2026 ratings: Trustpilot 4.9 (805 reviews, many invited) and G2 about 4.8.

Drawbacks: silence and long prompts add billed time, test calls are charged like live ones, and pay-as-you-go support is community and email only.

Versus Aircall: Aircall’s AI Voice Agents, bought alone, carry a $99 monthly minimum and cost $0.29 a minute pay as you go, with model, voice and line included, no token charges; bundles, on a yearly commitment, run from $250 a month for 1,000 minutes to as low as $0.12 a minute past 50,000. 1,000 pay-as-you-go minutes on Aircall come to $290. See the Retell AI profile and Vapi vs Retell AI.

Start from how many people need a line, then what they dial.

• One or two people: Quo for a shared line, CloudTalk Essential with the Power Dialer if you prospect by phone, or JustCall Pro for two reps who also text.
• Three or more on a support line: Dialpad Connect or CloudTalk, priced with every fee.
• Customers abroad: Ringover, or CallHippo if you mostly need numbers in other countries.
• Working lists all day: PhoneBurner, or JustCall’s quote-based SalesPro if you want multi-line dialing.
• HubSpot at the center: Aloware.
• AI answering the phone: Retell AI. Our Vapi alternatives page compares the other voice agent platforms.

Before you switch, find the date your Aircall term ends: notice is due 30 days before it, and committed licenses keep billing until then. Port numbers only after a trial proves call quality. Aircall may still be the right fit if your team is three or more, works in Salesforce or HubSpot, and uses its 250+ integrations.

Aircall is a good phone system for a team of three or more that works in Salesforce or HubSpot and wants calls logged without effort. The reasons to leave it are structural: the three-license floor, a dialer held back for Professional, and renewal terms you have to track. For one or two people I’d start with Quo for a shared line, or CloudTalk if you need a dialer. A team working lists all day should give PhoneBurner and JustCall a week each with the same contacts and compare. When the people you call have never heard of you, I’d send an email before the first call and ring whoever writes back, which is the part Reachkit, my product, handles.
