What an insurance agency pays a month at 200 dials an agent a day
| Agents | Convoso, reported | ReadyMode Starter, annual | ReadyMode Starter, monthly | ReadyMode iQ, annual | DialSheet parallel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,800–$3,000 + carrier | $199 | $239 | from 5 | $115 |

Convoso: the reported $90–150 an agent with the reported 20-agent minimum applied, before carrier fees, which Convoso bills separately and does not publish. ReadyMode: list price times agents, outbound minutes included. DialSheet: Pro software ($29 for the first seat, $29 each after it) and each agent's own Twilio from perRepTelephony() (25% of dials reach voicemail, 10% reach a person for three minutes, 21 working days, both call legs, one number) plus answering machine detection at $0.0075 on every parallel dial. 200 dials a day is the working day on our insurance agencies page. Leads are left out of every column.
Five agents at 200 dials each are $575 a month on DialSheet against $995 on ReadyMode Starter annual. On Convoso, five agents only make sense if the reported minimum does not apply to you; if it does, the bill is $1,800 or more whether you seat five or twenty. At twenty agents the picture changes: a floor that size dialing all day is what Convoso and ReadyMode are built for, and past about 143 parallel dials an agent a day Convoso’s software alone costs less per agent than a DialSheet seat plus Twilio, before its carrier fees.
Predictive or parallel: what an insurance floor actually needs
Convoso and ReadyMode are predictive dialers: the system decides how many numbers to dial per agent from answer rates and connects whoever picks up to the next free agent. That pacing earns its keep with ten or more agents on fresh leads. It also carries a rule: the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule treats a call not connected to a person within two seconds of the greeting as abandoned and caps abandoned calls at 3% of answered calls per campaign per 30 days. Our Convoso pricing page quotes that rule from eCFR.
DialSheet’s parallel dialer is agent-driven: one agent starts a session on two to 5 lines, the first person to answer is connected, and anyone else who picks up hears a short apology and is counted, with a nudge to Power Dial when the count climbs. It suits an agent or a small team working aged or purchased leads, where the pickups are thin and an abandoned live lead costs money. It is not a pacing engine for twenty seats.
What insurance agents say about each
- Convoso for high-volume final expense. On r/InsuranceAgent’s “Advice for Final Expense Startup” thread, one answer reads “Convoso only” and puts TCPA adherence beside it.
- ReadyMode on agency floors. In r/InsuranceAgent’s “Best Inbound Dialer For Insurance Agents”, an agent writes that they use ReadyMode and call it strong in the industry.
- Convoso’s hidden price. ReadyMode’s own comparison page notes that Convoso publishes no pricing, and Convoso’s FAQ confirms it: quotes only, primarily annual, no free trial.
- ReadyMode’s gated number protection. Caller-ID reputation monitoring is an iQ feature, sold for 5 or more licences, so a three-agent agency buys iQ or dials without it.
We have not run either dialer ourselves; the comments come from the threads and pages named above, read November 4, 2026.
The metered option: DialSheet on your own Twilio
Both call-centre platforms bundle the software with their own telephony, one by the minute and one by fair use. The other way is to own the carrier account: Twilio bills you ~$0.014/min a US minute and ~$1.15/month a number, and DialSheet charges for the seat only. The agency on our customers page runs ~1,000 calls a month that way on one seat.
- Parallel dialing on 2–5 lines included in Pro, with voicemail drop and answering machine detection.
- Recordings, transcripts and AI summaries of every answered call on Pro, kept in your own Twilio account.
- A Do Not Call list blocked for every agent, a calling-hours switch, and a call script beside every call.
- Owner listen and whisper on live calls, and a team dashboard of assigned leads, connects and meetings per agent.
If you are buying for an agency
A DialSheet agency is $29 for the first seat and $29 for each after it, no minimum: $145 of software for five agents and $290 for ten, before Twilio. The team features that shipped: 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. Seats are month to month, so the AEP and Open Enrollment surge can be added in October and removed in January.
Who runs on it
An insurance agency runs 1,000 calls a month, retained month over month. Also: a nine-rep calling floor, and a customer's own story on its own site.

Convoso vs ReadyMode questions
Is Convoso or ReadyMode better for an insurance agency?
For a floor of 20 or more agents running predictive campaigns on fresh leads, Convoso is the pick: it is built for that size and sells on contact rates and TCPA tooling. Under 20 agents ReadyMode is the one you can actually buy, with a published $199 Starter licence (annual) from a single seat and outbound minutes included. DialSheet is the third option for an agency that wants parallel dialing month to month with no minimum: $29/month per seat, two to 5 lines, about $575 a month for 5 agents at 200 dials a day, Twilio included. Prices read November 4, 2026.
How much does Convoso cost compared with ReadyMode?
Convoso publishes no price; its pricing page is a quote form, and its FAQ says plans are primarily annual with 20% off annual at the moment and carrier fees billed separately. Third-party guides report about $90 to $150 an agent a month with a 20-agent minimum, so a floor near $1,800 a month. ReadyMode publishes Starter at $199 a licence billed annually ($239 monthly) from one licence, and iQ at $249 ($299) for 5 or more. Five agents: $995 a month on ReadyMode Starter annual; on Convoso the reported floor.
Does Convoso have a minimum number of agents?
Convoso does not say on its site; its quote form starts at a "1-9 agents" band. Pricing guides report that most quotes require 20 agents. ReadyMode Starter starts at one licence and iQ is "ideal for 5+ licenses". DialSheet has no seat minimum: $29 for the first seat and $29 for each after it, month to month.
Which is better for final expense agents, Convoso or ReadyMode?
A final expense call floor with setters dialing fresh leads all day is what Convoso and ReadyMode are built for. A 1099 agent or a small team working aged leads usually is not: neither sells month to month at that size (Convoso), or the licence costs $199 a month on an annual plan (ReadyMode). DialSheet's parallel dialer runs two to 5 lines from a $29 seat; one agent at 200 dials a day is about $115 a month all-in on their own Twilio.
Do Convoso and ReadyMode include calling minutes?
ReadyMode includes outbound minutes under fair use and bills inbound at 2¢ a minute. Convoso bills carrier fees for calls and texts separately from the software, by its own FAQ. DialSheet runs on your own Twilio at ~$0.014/min with ~$1.15/month a number, or on a DialSheet-managed line at $49/month with 1,500 minutes (25 hours) included.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Convoso and ReadyMode for insurance?
DialSheet, for an agency under about 20 agents that wants parallel dialing without an annual contract: free for one person, with a list of up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, then $29/month per seat with a 2–5 line parallel dialer included. 5 agents at 200 dials a day come to about $575 a month all-in. Past about 143 parallel dials an agent a day, Convoso's reported $90 software alone costs less than a DialSheet seat plus Twilio (before Convoso's carrier fees), and ReadyMode's annual Starter from about 404.
