Readymode pricing and review
Readymode, formerly Xencall, is cloud call center software for outbound phone teams in the US and Canada: four dialing modes, a built-in CRM and caller ID reputation tools, priced per license.

Readymode pricing
Readymode pricing starts at $239 per license a month on Starter, or $199 a month per license when you pay a year up front. iQ, the plan Readymode recommends, is $299 a month or $249 billed yearly. Both are on the pricing page as of November 4, 2026, and Starter can be bought without a demo.
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Phone numbers per license |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $239 | $199 a month | Up to 30 |
| iQ | $299 | $249 a month | Up to 75 |
| Custom (20+ licenses) | Quote | Quote | Not published |
Both plans include outbound minutes under a fair use policy, inbound minutes at $0.02 each, and one free admin login with fewer features than an agent license. Setup and number activation fees are waived, and teams of three or more licenses get a recorded onboarding session. iQ adds caller ID reputation monitoring, assisted remediation, call cadences, Autopilot and integrations, which the pricing table marks as missing on Starter.
What the license price leaves out. Extra phone numbers (no public price, non-refundable), voicemail drops (charged, rate not given), taxes, and telecom charges such as USF and e911 plus a regulatory recovery fee. The terms put no number on fair use: they call usage excessive when it “substantially exceeds the average” of other customers. The page labels yearly billing “Save 20%”, while the listed prices come to about 17% off.
What a typical setup costs: one caller on Starter pays $239 a month, or $2,388 a year up front. Three callers on Starter pay $717 a month. Five on iQ pay $1,495 a month, or $14,940 a year, before inbound minutes, drops and fees.
What Readymode does
Readymode runs an outbound calling floor from the browser, with nothing to install. Both plans have four dialing modes: preview shows the agent a lead before the call, and the predictive dialer calls ahead of free agents and, per Readymode, adjusts its own speed. Readymode doesn’t publish how many lines it dials per agent.
Leads, custom queues and call dispositions live in the built-in CRM. Compliance sits in the core: state calling-hour and holiday rules, internal do-not-call lists and call recording. Managers can listen to, whisper into or join a live call. Calling covers the continental US, Hawaii and Canada, and an account needs a registered business in either country plus a compliance form.
Most of its 2025 and 2026 product releases deal with caller ID reputation, meaning whether carriers show your numbers as spam. iQ monitors it, registers numbers with major carriers and helps clear flags. Autopilot (2025) picks the number for each call using reputation data from AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, and Smart Mode (February 2026) also matches it to the lead’s carrier. Readymode advertises no AI calling or call summaries; its 2025 AI launch is a support chat for its own customers.
Readymode strengths and drawbacks
Strengths
- A price you can see. Both plans are public, Starter needs no sales call, setup and number activation fees are waived, and outbound minutes are included (pricing).
- Quick for agents to learn. G2’s review summary says users “consistently praise” its ease of use, and Capterra scores ease of use 4.6 (search listings, November 2026).
- Tools aimed at spam labels. iQ’s reputation monitoring, remediation and carrier-aware number choice target the top complaint in reviews of Readymode (Autopilot).
- The floor in one login. Dialing, the CRM and compliance rules are on both plans; the pricing page’s feature list adds recording and live floor monitoring.
Drawbacks
- Starter may skip integrations. The pricing table marks them iQ only, $60 more per license a month on monthly billing, while the integrations page names no plan. Ask before buying Starter for a CRM sync.
- Usage costs without rates. No published price for extra numbers, voicemail drops or fair-use overage.
- Leaving takes planning. Terms renew on their own, and cancelling needs written notice 30 days before the term ends. An unrenewed yearly plan rolls to month to month at the undiscounted rate, and an early yearly refund bills the months used at the full monthly rate and forfeits 20% of the prepaid amount (terms).
What Readymode users say
Readymode holds 4.6 out of 5 on G2 from 250+ reviews and 4.6 on Capterra from about 145, per search listings in November 2026 (both sites blocked a direct check). Trustpilot shows 4.1 from 89 reviews, 15 in the past year, and notes the company hasn’t invited reviewers recently.
Praise centers on ease of use and call handling. The most repeated complaint is numbers marked “spam likely” and falling connect rates; a Reddit thread in r/WholesaleRealestate is titled “Readymode dialer for cold calling - bad results”. Capterra reviewers also mention cost as teams grow (“really expensive when you start to add more people to the team”), a steep learning curve at the start, and an occasional lag before agents hear the person say hello.
Who Readymode is for
Readymode fits outbound call floors in the US or Canada that want dialing, a CRM and calling-hour rules in one place. Its case studies and integrations lean toward insurance, real estate investing and home services. Readymode pitches Starter at one to four licenses and iQ at five or more.
Look elsewhere if you’re outside the US and Canada, have no registered business, want AI call notes, or want a trial without going through sales. If you buy it, I’d start on monthly billing and put the 30-day notice date in your calendar, because a yearly plan is paid up front and only part of it comes back.
Alternatives to Readymode
- CallTools: a call center platform with six dialing modes, including predictive and parallel, integrations on every tier and quote-only prices. See the CallTools profile.
- PhoneBurner: a single-line power dialer, so the rep is live on every connect, from $165 a user a month or $140 on an annual plan. See the PhoneBurner profile.
- BatchDialer: multi-line dialing for real estate investors, from $119 per agent a month, with a 7-day trial. See the BatchDialer profile.

- Mojo Dialer: single or triple-line dialing with optional US real estate lead data, from $99 a month for one user on a single line. See the Mojo Dialer profile.
- Reachkit (our product): not a dialer, and it doesn’t connect to Readymode. If part of your list is businesses, it adds an email channel where sender reputation, the email version of number reputation, is looked after for you: its plans include separate sending domains it registers, Google or Microsoft mailboxes it sets up and warms for about three weeks before they send, and campaigns that pause when bounces hit 5%. Positive replies can go to HubSpot, Zoho or GoHighLevel, three CRMs Readymode also lists.
Readymode: common questions
How much does Readymode cost?
Readymode costs $239 per license a month on Starter and $299 on iQ with monthly billing, or $199 and $249 a month per license paid a year up front. Teams of 20 or more licenses get custom pricing. Inbound minutes at $0.02 each, voicemail drops, extra numbers, taxes and telecom fees are charged on top. Prices checked November 2026.
Is Readymode legit?
Yes. Readymode is a Vancouver-based company founded in 2014 as Xencall, which took the Readymode name in July 2021. As of November 2026 it holds 4.6 on G2 from 250+ reviews, 4.6 on Capterra from about 145 and 4.1 on Trustpilot from 89. The top complaint is numbers flagged as spam.
Does Readymode have a free plan or free trial?
Readymode has no free plan, and its pricing page offers no trial you can start yourself; its FAQ says sales can discuss eligibility for free trials. You also need a registered business in the US or Canada and a completed compliance form before logins are issued.
Is Readymode a CRM?
Partly. Readymode includes a CRM with lead management, custom queues and dispositions, so a small call team can run without another one, but it's a dialer first. Its pricing table marks integrations with outside CRMs such as HubSpot, Salesforce and Zoho as iQ only, while its integrations page doesn't mention a plan.
Readymode Starter vs iQ: which do you need?
Starter, at $239 per license a month, has all four dialing modes, the CRM, compliance rules and up to 30 numbers per license. iQ, at $299, allows 75 numbers and adds caller ID reputation monitoring, remediation, Autopilot number selection, call cadences and integrations. Readymode pitches iQ at five or more licenses.
