Aircall Power Dialer: what it costs, how it works, and where it stops

By Abhi Chawla, founder · Last updated October 5, 2026

Two kinds of people search this. Aircall customers who cannot find the Power Dialer, and buyers working out whether Aircall is a dialer at all. The answers are “it is on Professional, not on your plan” and “it is a phone system with a dialer feature in a browser extension”. Below: the price with the licence floor applied, how the extension actually works, the limits Aircall’s own help centre lists, and the whole bill next to DialSheet, the list dialer we build, at one, three, five and ten reps. The short version: if the dialer is the reason you are here, buy DialSheet; if the phone system is, buy Aircall.

TL;DR — our pick, and we build it

If the power dialer is the reason you are looking at Aircall, buy DialSheet instead: the same sequential list dialing on every plan including the free one, a 5-line parallel dialer Aircall does not sell included in Pro at $29/seat, and no $150-a-month licence floor, from one rep to a full floor.

$150The cheapest Aircall account that can power-dial: 3 Professional licences at $50 each, annual. A solo caller pays the same $150 as a team of three. DialSheet is free for one person, with a list of up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month.
$117 vs $162Three reps at 34 dials a day, software plus their own Twilio, against three Professional licences with a caller ID each ($6 a month for every number after the first).
1,000 contactsAircall’s own cap on one Power Dialer session, with numbers required in E.164 and one default country per session. A 3,000-row list is three sessions and a cleaning pass first.
1 lineAircall dials sequentially at every tier — no parallel, predictive or progressive mode. Two to five lines with voicemail screening is included in Pro here, so one seat with both modes is $29 a month.
~89 dials/dayThe honest limit. Above roughly 89 dials a rep a day on a three-rep team, Aircall’s bundled US and Canada minutes cost less than metered Twilio, by about $48 a month at 150 dials. That saving comes with Aircall’s single line and licence floor, and the table below prices both sides rather than stopping at the seat price.

Pick something else if you are buying a phone system rather than a dialer — IVR menus, support queues, smart routing, desk phones and the Salesforce CTI are what Aircall Professional is actually for, and DialSheet has none of them; or your reps each sustain more than about 89 dials a day and one flat invoice matters more to you than a second line and a free seat. Parallel dialing across more than 5 lines is Orum and Nooks territory, and not Aircall’s either.

Short answer

Aircall’s Power Dialer is Professional-plan only, about $50 a licence a month on annual billing, and every published Aircall plan carries a 3-licence minimum — so the cheapest Aircall account that can power-dial at all is $150 a month, or roughly $210 month to month. It is a browser-extension dialer: it reads numbers off a web page, a pasted list or a CSV, dials them one at a time with the rep on the line, and caps a session at 1,000 contacts.

DialSheet’s power dialer is on every plan, the free one included, so three reps dialing 34 times a day each pay about $117 a month all-in — software plus their own Twilio — against $162 for three Professional licences with a caller ID each, and the Pro seat carries a 5-line parallel dialer that Aircall does not sell at any tier. The cost case holds up to roughly 89 dials a rep a day; above it Aircall’s bundled US and Canada minutes are the cheaper line item, by about $48 a month for three reps at 150 dials, which is the one number on this page that argues for Aircall as a dialer.

If you are pricing Aircall’s dialer against the rest of the market, the field is ranked on the best power dialer software in 2026, and the entry cost of every tool is on the cheapest power dialers, ranked by true cost.

The price with the licence floor applied

Read from aircall.io/pricing on September 19, 2026. The advertised numbers are per licence; the number that lands on the card is three times larger, because every published plan has a floor.

Plan	Per licence, annual	Per licence, monthly	Minimum	Power Dialer	Cheapest account
Essentials	$30	~$40	3 licences	No — click-to-dial only	$90/mo, cannot power-dial
Professional	$50	~$70	3 licences	Yes, with Voicemail Drop	$150/mo annual, ~$210 monthly
Custom	Quote	Quote	25 licences	Yes	Enterprise

Method: the cheapest plan that actually includes the Power Dialer, multiplied by the vendor's own licence minimum, read from aircall.io/pricing on September 19, 2026. Annual rates and the 3-licence floor are Aircall's published figures; the monthly column is single-sourced from a competitor teardown and carries "~". One local or toll-free number is included per account and each extra caller ID is $6 a month.

How the Aircall Power Dialer works, step by step

Install the Aircall browser extension in Chrome or Edge and sign in to a Professional-plan account.
Open a page with the numbers on it (a CRM list view, a web directory, a published Google Sheet), or prepare a CSV. Numbers must be E.164, with the plus and the country code.
Start a Power Dialer session from the extension. It collects the numbers it detects or the list you paste, up to 1,000 contacts.
Set the default country in the Aircall app before you start; it applies to the whole session.
Dial. The session moves to the next number when a call ends; tag and note the call in Aircall, or let the CRM integration log it.

The Google Sheets case is the one people search for by name. Aircall’s help centre states that the extension cannot highlight numbers inside the editable Sheets interface, and offers three workarounds: CSV export, copy-paste, or “Publish to the web” and open the published copy. All three work. All three also leave the list in the sheet and the outcomes in Aircall, which is the seam a list dialer exists to close. If dialing straight from a spreadsheet is the job, that is a different shape of tool.

What a list dialer does differently: the queue is the record, so a session can be shrunk to a pill, interrupted, and resumed on the exact same lead. Watch the video or open it on YouTube.

Its limits, as Aircall states them

1,000 contacts per session. A 3,000-row list is three sessions.
E.164 only. (415) 555-2671 is not detected; +14155552671 is. The list gets cleaned first, every time.
One default country per session, set in the app before the session starts.
Single line. No parallel, predictive or progressive mode at any tier.
The list is not the record. Outcomes go to Aircall’s activity feed or to your CRM through an integration, not back onto the row you are calling.

Which tier is the power dialer in? Aircall, Dialpad, JustCall and Apollo

The Aircall surprise is not an Aircall problem. Every mainstream tool in this bracket puts the dialer above the plan its pricing page leads with, which is why “does {tool} have a power dialer” is such a common search. Here is where each one keeps it.

Tool	Plan that carries the dialer	Price	Seat minimum	Cheapest account that can dial a list
DialSheet	Every plan, free included	$29/seat on Pro	None	$0
Aircall	Professional	$50/licence	3	$150/mo
JustCall	Pro	~$49/user	2	~$98/mo
Dialpad Sell	Sell Premium (or the legacy Salesforce Powerdialer)	$79/user/mo billed yearly, or $95 monthly (Sell Premium, the tier the Dialpad Dialer needs, plus outbound calling credits; Essentials at $39/$49 and Advanced at $59/$70 do not include it)	None published	~$79/mo
Apollo	Advanced Dialer add-on	~$119/team/mo on top of a plan	None	~$168/mo

Aircall read live on September 19, 2026; the other three carry "~" and were checked on the dates given on each tool's own page here. Apollo prices its dialer per team rather than per seat, which makes it cheap for a large team and expensive for one person. Dialpad's progressive dialer integrates only with Salesforce.

Aircall does not offer multi-line dialing. DialSheet includes parallel dialing in Pro at $29 per seat a month, with up to 5 lines on your own Twilio account. Twilio usage is billed separately. A DialSheet-managed line includes up to 3 lines once your business is verified and the setup checks pass.

Demo of parallel dialing with voicemail screening. Parallel dialing is included in Pro, with up to 5 lines on your own Twilio and 3 on a verified DialSheet line. This recording shows four lines. Watch the video or open it on YouTube.

The whole bill at one, three, five and ten reps

Aircall bundles US and Canada calling into the licence, so the only fair comparison is software plus telephony. DialSheet is $29 for the first seat and $29 for each one after it; Twilio bills ~$0.014/min on the carrier leg, $0.004 a minute on the browser leg including unanswered ringing, and ~$1.15/month for each number. Light is 34 dials a rep a day (about $10 of Twilio a month each); heavy is 150 (about $41).

Reps	Aircall Professional, annual	Plus a caller ID each	DialSheet all-in, 34 dials/day	DialSheet all-in, 150 dials/day
1	$150/mo	$150/mo	~$39/mo	~$70/mo
2	$150/mo	$156/mo	~$78/mo	~$140/mo
3	$150/mo	$162/mo	~$117/mo	~$210/mo
5	$250/mo	$274/mo	~$195/mo	~$350/mo
10	$500/mo	$554/mo	~$390/mo	~$700/mo

Twilio figures from perRepTelephony(): 25% of dials reach a voicemail greeting and bill a whole minute, 10% reach a person for three minutes, over 21 working days. One and two reps cannot buy Aircall Professional at all without paying for 3 licences, which is why the first two rows of the Aircall column do not move.

The crossover matters more than any single row. A solo caller passes the $150 Aircall floor at roughly 456 dials a day; three reps pass $162 at about 89 dials a rep a day. Below those volumes metering is cheaper because you are not paying for minutes you never dial. Above them the bundle is cheaper and switching to save money is the wrong move.

When Aircall is the right buy, and who should pick DialSheet

Aircall Professional is priced for a phone system with a dialer in it, not for a dialer. If you are buying inbound routing, IVR menus, shared lines, call queues, a support desk and a sales team on one bill, plus the HubSpot, Salesforce or Zendesk integration you already live in, that is what the licence pays for and it is good at it. DialSheet has none of that.

You run inbound queues, IVR menus or smart routing — DialSheet is outbound only.
You need the Salesforce CTI widget or mandatory call tagging, both Professional features.
Your reps each sustain more than about 89 dials a day and you would rather have one predictable invoice than a usage bill.
You want one vendor to own the carrier relationship and never open a Twilio console.

Which power dialer should you actually buy?

Our opinion, and we are not neutral

We build DialSheet, so weigh this accordingly. Having priced every dialer in this category line by line: for a team whose day is dialing a list, DialSheet does the same core job as Aircall, with power dialing, call recordings and transcripts, AI call summaries, a built-in CRM and parallel dialing included in Pro, and it costs about $117 a month for three reps all-in against $162 on three Aircall Professional licences with a caller ID each. It is also moving faster (we shipped 251 changes across 15 releases in the 30 days to September 8, 2026) because the people using it are the ones asking for the changes. Where it loses to Aircall is narrow and specific, and it is listed below rather than buried. The teams running on it are published with their numbers at dialsheet.io/customers: a 12-seat UK accountancy practice that put a nine-rep calling floor live in a day, a two-person US acquisition team sustaining about 8,200 dials a month, a solo funding desk at 1,335 calls last month, and an insurance agency at about 1,000 calls a month, retained month over month.

DialSheet Free

One person who just wants to dial a list. Aircall bills 3 licences whatever your headcount, so a solo caller on the tier with the Power Dialer pays $150 a month for two chairs nobody sits in. DialSheet is free for one person, with a list of up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, with the power dialer, notes and outcomes included; the only bill is Twilio, about $10 a month at 34 dials a day.

DialSheet Pro

An outbound team of three reps to a full floor, whose day is dialing a list. $29 for the first seat and $29 for each teammate, so ten reps are $290 of software against $500 in Aircall licences, and about $390 a month all-in at 34 dials a day. Recordings, transcripts and AI summaries are in every Pro seat, with no three-licence floor under them.

DialSheet Pro, or Orum and Nooks above it

A team that wants several lines dialed at once. Aircall has no parallel mode at any tier, so this is not a choice between the two. Two to five lines with voicemail screening is included in Pro, $29 a seat with both modes. If parallel dialing across many lines is the whole purchase and there is budget for an annual contract, Orum (~$250+/user/mo) and Nooks are built around it.

Aircall Professional, if the flat seat matters more than a second line

Reps who each sustain more than ~89 dials a day and want one flat invoice. A flat licence with bundled US and Canada minutes stops the bill rising with dials: three Professional licences are $162 a month at any volume, about $48 less than DialSheet plus Twilio at 150 dials a rep a day. The trade is one line at a time and a 3-licence floor, so at that volume the real question is whether a second line would do more for the day than the saving.

Aircall

A team buying a phone system, not a dialer. IVR menus, support queues, smart routing, desk phones and the Salesforce CTI are what the Professional licence is for. DialSheet has none of them, and no amount of cost arithmetic changes that.

Who actually runs on it

We build DialSheet, so weigh this page accordingly. These are the places you can check the claim without taking our word for it: two customers whose production numbers we publish, one who tells the story on their own site, and one third-party listing.

Common questions

Does Aircall have a power dialer, and which plan is it on?

Yes, on the Professional plan only. Aircall lists the Power Dialer and Voicemail Drop under Professional's advanced sales features at $50 per licence a month on annual billing, with a 3-licence minimum on every published plan, so the cheapest Aircall account that can power-dial is $150 a month. Essentials, the $30 tier, gives you click-to-dial from the browser extension, which does not auto-advance through a list. The Power Dialer runs from that same extension: it reads numbers off a web page, a pasted list or a CSV and dials them one after another with the rep on the line. It is sequential only — Aircall has no parallel or predictive mode at any tier.

How much does the Aircall Power Dialer cost?

$150 a month, because it is bundled into Professional at $50 a licence on annual billing and every published Aircall plan bills at least 3 licences. Month to month that is about $210, since monthly billing runs roughly 25% above the advertised annual rate. One caller ID is included per account and each extra is $6 a month, so three reps who each want their own number pay $162. A solo caller pays the same $150 as a team of three, for two licences nobody sits in. The quote-only Custom tier starts at 25 licences.

What is the best alternative to Aircall's Power Dialer?

DialSheet, if the dialer is what you are buying. It is a list dialer rather than a phone system: import a CSV, power-dial it in the browser with the outcome logged on the row, free for one person with up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, then $29/month per seat with a two-to-5-line parallel dialer, recordings, transcripts and AI call summaries included, and no licence floor or session cap. Three reps at 34 dials a day pay about $117 a month all-in with their own Twilio, against $162 on Aircall Professional. We build DialSheet. Pick Aircall instead if you need IVR menus, support queues or the Salesforce CTI, or if your reps each pass about 89 dials a day and you want one flat invoice more than a second line.

How do you use the Aircall Power Dialer with Google Sheets?

Aircall's help centre says the browser extension cannot detect numbers inside the editable Google Sheets interface. The three workarounds it gives are to export the sheet as CSV and import that into a Power Dialer session, to copy and paste the numbers in, or to use "Publish to the web" on the sheet and open the published copy, where the extension can read them. Numbers must be in E.164 format (+14155552671, not (415) 555-2671), the default country set in the Aircall app applies to the whole session, and a session holds at most 1,000 contacts. The side effect is that the list lives in the sheet and the outcomes live in Aircall, which is the seam a list dialer exists to close.

What are the limits of the Aircall Power Dialer?

One line at a time, 1,000 contacts per session, E.164 numbers only, one default country per session, and it lives in the browser extension rather than in a list view, so outcomes and notes land in Aircall's activity feed or go to your CRM through an integration instead of sitting next to the row you are calling. A 3,000-row list is three sessions. It is a good click-to-dial-a-list tool inside a phone system; it is not a list-management dialer, and it is not a parallel dialer.

Does Aircall have a parallel dialer or an auto dialer?

No. Aircall's Power Dialer is sequential: one number, one line, the rep listening to every ring. There is no parallel, predictive or progressive mode on Essentials, Professional or Custom. The cheapest way to get one is DialSheet Pro: a two-to-5-line parallel dialer with voicemail screening is included in the $29 seat, so one rep has both the sequential and the parallel dialer for less than one Aircall licence. It runs on your own Twilio account, and it comes included with a DialSheet-managed line (up to 3 lines once Twilio has verified the business). Above 5 lines, or for a funded SDR floor that wants AI coaching across the team, Orum (~$250+/user/mo) and Nooks sell parallel dialers on annual contracts, and Kixie sells multi-line power dialing at ~$95–185/user/mo (reported; Kixie publishes no price).

Which tier is the power dialer in on Dialpad, JustCall and Apollo?

Above the entry plan on all three, which is the same surprise Aircall buyers get. Dialpad's current dialer needs Dialpad Sell Premium: $79/user/mo billed yearly, or $95 monthly (Sell Premium, the tier the Dialpad Dialer needs, plus outbound calling credits; Essentials at $39/$49 and Advanced at $59/$70 do not include it). Its cheaper Salesforce Powerdialer still runs on any Sell licence, but Dialpad's own help centre now heads that page "Legacy feature" and it works only inside Salesforce Lightning. JustCall's power dialer starts on its Pro tier at about $49 a user a month with a 2-licence minimum. Apollo's power and parallel dialing sit in its Advanced Dialer add-on, about $119 per team a month on annual billing on top of a plan that starts at $49 a user. DialSheet is the exception in this group rather than the rule: the sequential power dialer is on every plan, the free one included.

Is Aircall Professional worth it just for the Power Dialer?

If you are buying a phone system and the dialer is a bonus, yes — Professional also brings IVR, smart routing, advanced analytics, the Salesforce CTI and unlimited US and Canada outbound under Aircall's terms of use. If the dialer is the only reason, the maths is hard to justify below heavy volume: three reps on Professional with a caller ID each are $162 a month at any dial volume, while the same three on DialSheet plus their own Twilio are about $117 at 34 dials a day and $210 at 150. The crossover is around 89 dials a rep a day; above it Aircall's bundled minutes are the cheaper line item, by about $48 a month for three reps at 150 dials, and a switch to DialSheet at that volume is a buy for the parallel dialer, the free seat and the list as the record rather than for the bill.

Does Aircall's Power Dialer work with HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive?

Aircall's CRM integrations log the calls and put click-to-dial inside those CRMs, but the Power Dialer itself runs from the browser extension against whatever page or list you give it. In practice teams open a CRM list view or report, let the extension pick up the numbers on it, and run the session from there, with each call logged back through the integration. The Salesforce CTI widget is Professional-only, like the dialer itself.
