Aircall pricing in 2026: every plan, the add-ons and the real monthly bill
Aircall publishes nearly everything: licence prices on both billing terms, the minimums, the per-number fee and each add-on. Very little written about it adds those lines up into one monthly number for a team that calls lists. This page does, from aircall.io/pricing as it read in a browser on September 23, 2026, and it changed this month.
If Aircall is one of several on your list, the best power dialer software in 2026 ranks the whole field on what each dialer does for the money.
Aircall plans and prices in 2026
| Plan | Per licence, annual | Per licence, monthly | Minimum licences | Smallest monthly bill (annual) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $30 | $40 | 3 | $90 |
| Professional (Power Dialer, voicemail drop, AI summaries) | $50 | $70 | 3 | $150 |
| Enterprise | Quote only | Quote only | 25 | Quote only |
Read on aircall.io/pricing (United States) on September 23, 2026, both billing toggles. The page advertises "save 25% by paying annually". List prices, not quotes.
Essentials is the phone system: unlimited calls within the US and Canada, SMS and MMS, a shared inbox, call recordings and AI transcripts, IVR, basic dashboards, 250+ integrations and 50 minutes of AI Voice Agents a month. Professional adds the outbound layer and the manager tools: Power Dialer, voicemail drop, outbound call campaigns, AI call summaries and conversation intelligence, smart routing and queue callback, call whispering and barge, user-level analytics and live monitoring, Salesforce, and full API access. Enterprise adds unlimited global calls, SSO and SCIM, HIPAA, and prioritised support.
If you are buying Aircall to call lists, Professional is the plan, so $150 a month, or $210 on monthly billing, is the number to budget.
What changed on Aircall’s pricing page in September 2026
- AI call summaries moved into Professional. Earlier this month they were the AI Assist add-on at $9 a licence. Aircall now lists summaries, sentiment and key topics as included on Professional, and AI Assist is gone from the add-on list. That makes a kitted Professional team cheaper than it was, and most pages quoting Aircall still add the $9.
- Custom became Enterprise, still quote-only from 25 licences.
- Two per-use add-ons appeared: Branded caller ID at $0.08 a call and Spam Management at $0.03 a check, both through sales.
- AI Voice Agents became a product of their own with a $100 a month minimum ($125 monthly), from $0.19 a minute in bundles, alongside the 50 minutes every licence includes.
Aircall cost per user is not what a user costs
Three lines on Aircall’s own page separate the licence price from the invoice.
- The three-licence minimum. One person on Professional pays $150, the same as three. The effective price per person only falls to $50 at the third rep.
- Numbers are per account, not per user. One local or toll-free number comes with the plan and every additional one is $6 a month on every tier. An outbound team wants a caller ID per rep: three reps add $12, ten add $54.
- Per-call and per-seat add-ons. Branded caller ID is $0.08 a call. A rep at 100 dials a day makes about 2,100 calls a month, which is up to $168 a rep if every dial is billed. Real-time coaching (AI Assist Pro) is $49 a seat, and seat add-ons are bought per licence, so the minimum applies to them too.
Aircall add-on pricing

The whole bill: Aircall against a dialer on your own Twilio
| Reps | Licences billed | Aircall Essentials | Aircall Professional + caller IDs | Same, monthly billing | DialSheet, 34 dials/day | DialSheet, 100 dials/day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | $90 | $150 | $210 | $39 | $56 |
| 2 | 3 | $90 | $156 | $216 | $78 | $112 |
| 3 | 3 | $90 | $162 | $222 | $117 | $168 |
| 5 | 5 | $150 | $274 | $374 | $195 | $280 |
| 10 | 10 | $300 | $554 | $754 | $390 | $560 |
Aircall columns: licences at the published rate with the three-licence minimum, plus $6 for each caller ID after the first. Essentials has no Power Dialer. DialSheet columns: Pro software ($29 first seat, $29 each after) plus that team's own Twilio bill from perRepTelephony(): 25% of dials reach voicemail, 10% reach a person for three minutes, 21 working days, both call legs and one number per rep. Aircall prices read September 23, 2026.
A solo caller is the starkest row: $150 a month for Aircall’s smallest Professional account, against $39 for DialSheet Pro and Twilio, or $10 of Twilio alone on the free plan. At ten reps the gap is $164 a month at a normal pace.
Aircall against the tools buyers price it against

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DialSheet | Free; Pro for teams | $0 / $29 | 1 | $0 | Free up to 500 calls a month for one person; Pro is $29 + $29 a teammate. Calls billed by your own Twilio. |
| CloudTalk | Starter + Power Dialer add-on | $40 | 1 | $40 | Dialer is a $15 add-on below Expert; parallel is another $39 |
| Ringover | Smart | $47 | 3 | $141 | Annual only, plus $0.08 a minute on automated dialing |

Method, as on the cited "cheapest dialer" pages: the cheapest published plan that includes a power dialer, times the vendor's published seat minimum, annual billing, telephony excluded. Read from each vendor's pricing page in September 2026; sources and dates are kept in our competitor file. Kixie, Orum and Nooks publish no price and are left out.
Aircall’s $150 sits with Dialpad Sell and PhoneBurner at the top of this table, and it is the only one of the three that gets there through a seat minimum rather than the seat price. Dialpad’s side of that is on Dialpad alternatives. The full ranked list is on Aircall alternatives, and the same arithmetic across the category is on cheap power dialers.
What people complain about with Aircall’s pricing
- Paying for seats nobody uses. The three-licence minimum is the complaint competitors lead with, and it is printed on Aircall’s own page: a one- or two-person team pays for three.
- A number per account, not per rep. Teams find out at setup that the second and third caller IDs are $6 a month each.
- Recordings you have to ask for. The dashboard keeps six months of recordings on every plan; anything older is “by request”, up to one year on Essentials.
- Support and billing. CloudTalk’s April 2026 round-up of Reddit and G2, written by a competitor, reports that users like the product and complain about slow support, delayed plan changes and contract terms. Standard onboarding is offered from 11 users.
None of this makes Aircall a bad phone system. It makes it an expensive dialer for a small team, which is the reader this page is for.
If you are buying for a team
The team case is arithmetic before it is anything else: Aircall charges the same rate for your tenth rep as your first, so 10 seats is $500 a month, while DialSheet is $29 for the first seat and $29 for each one after it, $290 in all, a difference of $210 a month that widens every time you hire. What that buys is a product built for teams: assign leads to reps, or let the team work a shared pool, a caller ID per rep, pinned to that rep, shared call scripts, so a new hire opens the same way as the floor, a team dashboard: assigned, connected, meetings booked, no-answers and talk time per rep, over any date range.
What that buys on our side, checked against the product rather than a roadmap: assign leads to reps, or let the team work a shared pool, a caller ID per rep, pinned to that rep, shared call scripts, so a new hire opens the same way as the floor, a team dashboard: assigned, connected, meetings booked, no-answers and talk time per rep, over any date range, CSV export of the whole stats table, invite by email with seats managed in one place. What it does not buy is Aircall’s inbound half and its manager tools. Smart routing, queue callback, IVR menus, call whispering and barge are on Professional with no DialSheet equivalent; if your team answers calls as well as makes them, that is the trade.
If you want the minutes bundled but not the minimum
Aircall’s real selling point for a caller is one bill with the minutes inside it. DialSheet sells that too: a managed line at $49/month is a local number, 1,500 minutes (25 hours of calling) and a full Pro seat, with no Twilio account and no seat minimum, and parallel dialing on up to 3 lines included once Twilio has verified the business. That is $101 a month less than Aircall’s smallest Professional account for one caller.

Which power dialer should you actually buy?
DialSheet
You are one or two people dialing a list. Aircall bills three licences whether or not you have three people, so one person on the tier with the Power Dialer pays $150. DialSheet is free for one person, with a list of up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, then $29/month per seat, with no minimum.
DialSheet
An outbound team of three to ten, under ~89 dials a rep a day. Power dialing, voicemail drop, recordings, transcripts, AI summaries and a CRM for $290 of software at ten seats, against $500 for ten Professional licences before Aircall’s $6 caller IDs.
DialSheet’s $49/month line
You want one bill with minutes included and no Twilio account. 1,500 minutes, a local number and Pro for one caller, against $150 for Aircall’s smallest Professional account.
Aircall
Your reps sustain more than ~89 dials a day each. Bundled US and Canada minutes stop the bill moving. Past that volume Aircall Professional costs less than Pro plus metered Twilio, and the gap widens the harder you dial.
Aircall
You need an inbound phone system, or live whisper and barge. IVR menus, queues, smart routing, queue callback and live coaching on calls in progress. DialSheet is outbound only and has no equivalent.
Aircall pricing questions
How much does Aircall cost per month?
Aircall lists Essentials at $30 and Professional at $50 per licence per month on annual billing, and $40 and $70 month to month, read on aircall.io/pricing on September 23, 2026. Both plans need at least 3 licences, so the smallest Aircall bill is $90 a month on Essentials and $150 on Professional, the tier with the Power Dialer ($210 if you pay monthly). Enterprise is quote-only from 25 licences. For comparison, DialSheet, a power dialer that runs on your own Twilio account, is free for one person, with a list of up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, then $29/month per seat.
Does Aircall have a minimum number of users?
Yes. Essentials and Professional both require 3 licences, and Enterprise requires 25. A solo caller or a two-person team pays for three seats either way, so one person on the plan with the Power Dialer pays $150 a month on annual billing. DialSheet has no seat minimum: one person dials free up to 500 calls a month, and a Pro seat is $29.
Which Aircall plan has the Power Dialer?
Professional, at $50 a licence a month annual or $70 monthly. Aircall's plan table shows PowerDialer and voicemail drop as not included on Essentials. With the three-licence minimum, $150 a month is the cheapest Aircall account that power-dials (checked September 23, 2026). Professional also carries smart routing, call whispering and barge, AI call summaries, the Salesforce integration and full API access.
Are AI call summaries included in Aircall?
On Professional, yes, as of September 2026. Aircall's pricing page now lists "AI call summary and conversation intelligence" on the Professional card and says summaries, sentiment and key topics are included in that plan; the separate $9-a-licence AI Assist add-on it sold earlier in 2026 is no longer listed. Essentials includes call recordings and AI transcripts but not summaries. Real-time coaching is AI Assist Pro, still an add-on at $49 per seat per month. DialSheet includes recordings, transcripts and AI call summaries in Pro at $29 a seat.
What are Aircall’s hidden costs?
Four lines on Aircall's own pricing page turn a $50 seat into a bigger invoice: the 3-licence minimum; one phone number per account, with each extra caller ID at $6 a month; per-use add-ons such as Branded caller ID at $0.08 a call and Spam Management at $0.03 a check; and per-seat add-ons (AI Assist Pro $49, Analytics+ $15, WhatsApp $10, Salesforce Voice $30). International calls are not in the bundled minutes below Enterprise. Three outbound reps on Professional with a caller ID each are $162 a month; Branded caller ID at 100 dials a day could add up to $168 a rep.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Aircall for outbound calling?
For a team that mainly dials lists, yes. DialSheet is free for one person, with a list of up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, then $29/month per seat, with calls on your own Twilio account at ~$0.014/min: about $117 a month all-in for three reps at a normal outbound pace, against $162 for three Aircall Professional licences with a caller ID each. Aircall becomes the cheaper buy above roughly 89 dials a rep a day at three reps, because its US and Canada minutes are bundled, and it is the better product if you also need an inbound phone system with IVR, queues and routing.
