PhoneBurner pricing and review

PhoneBurner is a browser-based power dialer with a built-in CRM. It rings one number at a time, so the rep is already live when someone answers, and its per-user prices are public.

PhoneBurner at a glance

PhoneBurner pricing

PhoneBurner pricing runs from $165 to $215 per user a month paid month to month, or $140 to $183 a month on an annual contract. The pricing page shows both on each plan, in USD, as of November 4, 2026.

PlanAnnual contractMonth to monthWhat it adds
Standard$140$165Power dialing, CRM, 30 days of recordings, 10,000 imports a month
Professional$165$195Browser softphone, noise cancellation, live coaching, Open API, 20,000 imports
Premium$183$215A PhoneBurner number, inbound routing, AI notes, SMS, 50,000 imports

So $165 buys either Standard month to month or Professional on a yearly contract. The annual plan saves about 15%, a team admin seat is free, and there’s no setup fee or required contract.

Extras. The help center lists ARMOR, PhoneBurner’s spam-flag monitoring, at $5 a month per number bought from PhoneBurner, and puts the average at about four numbers per seat. Premium includes 1,000 outbound texts a month, then $15 per 1,000; texting needs carrier registration and a one-time $50 fee. Phone numbers and Connect Scores tiers have no public price.

Usage. The FAQ promises unlimited dialing on every plan, to US and Canadian numbers only. The acceptable use policy lets PhoneBurner add $0.01 a call on calls it deems excessive, such as unanswered or very short ones, with no threshold stated.

What a typical setup costs: one rep on Standard pays $165 a month, or $1,680 a year on contract. Five reps on Professional, billed annually, pay $825 a month, or $925 with ARMOR on 20 numbers, before the numbers themselves.

Each plan rose $16 a month in March 2025, so guides quoting $149, $179 and $199 are out of date.

What PhoneBurner does

PhoneBurner works through a call list one contact at a time. Because it never rings several numbers at once, PhoneBurner says no answered call gets dropped, and it puts the pace at up to 80 dials an hour. After each call, one click logs the outcome and can leave a recorded voicemail, send a follow-up email, update the CRM and dial the next contact. It runs in a browser with any phone or headset.

Contacts live in PhoneBurner’s own CRM or sync from Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Close, GoHighLevel and others. Other tools connect through Zapier, webhooks or the REST API, which is listed from Professional up. There’s no official MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can only reach your PhoneBurner contacts through third-party connectors such as Zapier’s or Pipedream’s, or the API.

Much of the product is about getting calls answered. Local Presence shows a number matching the contact’s area code after an identity check. ARMOR watches your numbers for spam labels, and PhoneBurner’s team asks carriers to remove false ones. Connect Scores rate how likely each number is to pick up, so a session can skip the weak ones. Calls stop after 9 p.m. local time, and lists can be scrubbed against the national Do Not Call registry through DNC.com, though the terms say PhoneBurner doesn’t track consent for you.

PhoneBurner strengths and drawbacks

Strengths

  • Prices you can see. Three public plans, month to month by default, no setup fee (pricing, FAQ), and you cancel in the app (help center).
  • The rep is on every answered call, with no dropped calls. A G2 reviewer says it “makes the process of cold calling a lot faster”.
  • Answer-rate tools. ARMOR, Connect Scores and a Tier 1 carrier. PhoneBurner says its numbers with ARMOR average 15% higher answer rates than those without (ARMOR).
  • A CRM on every plan, plus native sync for teams that already have one.

Drawbacks

  • Premium holds the extras. Texting, inbound routing, an included number and AI transcription need Premium ($183 to $215 a user), and the API starts on Professional.
  • One line, two countries. No plan lists multi-line dialing and the FAQ says it won’t ring more than one person at a time, though one answer on its auto-dialer page says reps can dial several lines. Calls go only to US and Canadian numbers. A design choice, but a dealbreaker for some teams.
  • Unpriced extras. Phone numbers, Connect Scores tiers and DNC.com scrubbing have no price on PhoneBurner’s pages.
  • No refunds. The terms make fees nonrefundable unless PhoneBurner decides otherwise, annual fees included, and the help center says cancelling mid-cycle isn’t prorated. Payment is by credit card only.

What PhoneBurner users say

PhoneBurner holds 4.7 out of 5 on G2 from about 290 reviews, with 9.6 out of 10 for quality of support, and 4.8 on Capterra from 176 reviews, as listed in November 2026. Trustpilot shows 2.7 on November 4, 2026, from just seven reviews, too few to read as a verdict.

Much of the praise is about pace without losing the conversation. One Capterra reviewer wrote in 2019: “you can get through up to 60 calls in a hour but are still able to talk to people live”.

The common complaint is price for one person or a small team. A Trustpilot reviewer wrote “For $60-$70/mo it’s great, $150 is too much”; another, “While it is not cheap, it is highly effective”. Some GetApp, Software Advice and Capterra reviewers mention occasional glitches and CRM sync gaps.

Who PhoneBurner is for

PhoneBurner fits reps and small sales teams whose day is live phone calls to US and Canadian numbers, and who want the dialer and a CRM in one login at a price they can read before signing up.

Look elsewhere if you need to ring several numbers at once, call outside North America, or text prospects without paying for Premium. Its emails are follow-ups around calls, so it isn’t built for cold email at volume. If you pick PhoneBurner, I’d decide upfront whether you’ll text or take inbound calls, since either one means paying for Premium.

PhoneBurner: common questions

How much does PhoneBurner cost per month?

PhoneBurner costs $165 (Standard), $195 (Professional) or $215 (Premium) per user a month on month-to-month billing, or $140, $165 and $183 a month on an annual contract, as of November 2026. Phone numbers, ARMOR at $5 a number and extra texts cost more.

Is PhoneBurner free?

No. PhoneBurner has no free plan. It offers a free trial with a block of calling minutes and no credit card, and teams can ask for a longer trial. After that, seats start at $165 a month, or $140 on an annual contract.

Is PhoneBurner a CRM?

Yes. Every PhoneBurner plan includes a built-in CRM for contacts, call outcomes, emails and appointments, so a solo rep needs no other system. Teams on Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM or Close can connect it and dial from there.

Is PhoneBurner a power dialer?

Yes. PhoneBurner is a single-line power dialer: it calls one contact after another, so a rep is live whenever someone answers. No plan lists predictive or multi-line dialing, and its FAQ says it won't dial more than one person at a time, though one answer on its auto-dialer page says otherwise. It calls only US and Canadian numbers.

Is PhoneBurner legit?

Yes. PhoneBurner, Inc. is based in Laguna Beach, California, has been around since 2008 and says it has more than 3,000 customers. It rates 4.7 on G2 and 4.8 on Capterra; its Trustpilot score is 2.7, but from only seven reviews, as of November 2026.

Can PhoneBurner run cold email campaigns?

PhoneBurner can send follow-up emails from dial sessions and cadences, with templates and tracking, but it's built for calling. Teams that want cold email at volume add a tool such as Reachkit, which is our product: it finds verified leads, sends from mailboxes it sets up and warms, and pushes positive replies to HubSpot, Zoho or GoHighLevel.
