Comparison
PhoneBurner vs Mojo Dialer: which one fits the calls you actually make?
Last updated September 3, 2026
These two tools are not really competing for the same job. PhoneBurner sells one bundled seat — $140–183 per user per month on annual billing — that dials one line at a time on purpose, so there is no connect pause and nothing to abandon, and it wraps that in voicemail drop and a one-click post-call email. Mojo sells parts: $10 Agent Access plus $89 single-line or $139 triple-line dialing, plus $30 for a VoIP line, $25 for recording, and $25–50 per month for each property-data feed. The short rule: if your calls are consultative and one at a time, PhoneBurner. If your day is grinding a county list three lines at a time and you need the list too, Mojo.
The short version
| PhoneBurner | Mojo | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One bundled seat — calling included | À la carte — licence + dialer + line + data |
| Entry price for one dialing user | $140/user/mo annual (Standard), $165 monthly | $99/mo ($10 Agent Access + $89 Single Line) |
| Lines dialed at once | One — no multi-line, by design | One ($89) or three ($139) |
| How you talk | Dial in from your own phone; browser softphone from Professional ($165) | Dial in from your own phone; Mojo Voice VoIP is $30/mo per dialing agent |
| Call recording | Included — 30/90/unlimited days by tier | $25/month add-on |
| Lead data | None — bring your own list | Neighborhood Search $49, Expired $50, FSBO/FRBO $25, Skip Tracer $49, Pre-Foreclosures $49 (US only) |
| Signature workflow | Voicemail drop + one-click post-call email with tracking | Triple-line prospecting over lists you bought in the same tool |
| Best fit | B2B and consultative one-at-a-time calling | High-volume real-estate prospecting |
One bundled seat vs a parts list
PhoneBurner's pricing page, checked September 2026, lists three tiers on annual billing: Standard $140, Professional $165 and Premium $183 per user per month, or $165 / $195 / $215 month-to-month. Unlimited calling is in all three, which is the whole reason a seat costs what it does. The tiers differ on things that quietly matter: recording retention is 30 days on Standard, 90 on Professional and unlimited on Premium; contact imports are capped at 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000 a month; browser softphone dialing, live call monitoring, whisper coaching and the open API start on Professional; and a dedicated PhoneBurner number with inbound routing, plus AI transcription and 1,000 outbound SMS a month, are Premium only, with extra SMS at $15 per 1,000.
Mojo prices the same capability as a parts list. Agent Access — the Lead Manager and CRM — is $10 per user per month, and at least one licence is required per account. A dialer licence sits on top: Single Line $89 or Triple Line $139 per licence per month, with unlimited minutes, and every agent who dials at the same time needs their own dialer licence. Then Mojo Voice is $30 a month per dialing agent and call recording is $25 a month. So the honest entry price is $99, the honest working price for one person is $154, and the honest wholesaler price is well north of $250 once data is attached.
Neither model is dishonest — they are just legible at different moments. PhoneBurner tells you the whole number on day one and it does not move. Mojo tells you a low number on day one and moves it every time you add a capability you assumed was included.
The phone-line question nobody puts on the comparison chart
Both tools grew up before browser calling, and both still carry the "dial into the platform" model. With Mojo you place one outbound call from a landline, mobile or VoIP line into Mojo, and the platform dials your list while you sit on that open line — which is why Mojo describes running on a copper-wire network rather than over the internet, and why its call quality holds up where a WebRTC dialer on hotel Wi-Fi would not. The trade is that your own phone bill is part of the setup unless you buy Mojo Voice at $30 a month per dialing agent.
PhoneBurner has exactly the same wrinkle and it is priced into the tier ladder: you dial in from your own cell or landline, and the built-in softphone starts on Professional at $165. That is a real reason not to buy Standard for a remote rep with no desk phone. It also means the true PhoneBurner entry price for someone who wants to work entirely from a browser is $165, not $140.
Compare that with a modern browser dialer, where the call runs over WebRTC from the tab and the only hardware is a headset — the mechanics are laid out in how to make cold calls from your computer. It is not that the dial-in model is bad; on a weak connection it is genuinely better. It is that two vendors both charge you extra to skip it.
What PhoneBurner is actually good at
The single-line decision is the product. Because PhoneBurner places one call per rep, the prospect hears a human immediately instead of the half-second of dead air that tells everyone they have been auto-dialed, and there is no abandoned-call exposure to manage at all. PhoneBurner advertises up to about 80 dials an hour on that single line, and the way it gets there is workflow, not parallelism: one click drops a pre-recorded voicemail and immediately advances to the next contact, and one click sends a templated follow-up email — with open tracking — chosen by the call outcome.
That combination is why PhoneBurner fits B2B and consultative calling so well. A 40-dial block leaves behind 40 logged dispositions, a handful of voicemails and a handful of tracked emails, with no manual typing between calls. Add live monitoring and whisper coaching on Professional, and the AI note-taker and transcription on Premium, and it is a complete outbound workstation for someone whose conversations are long and whose list is small and expensive.
The limit is blunt: PhoneBurner does not do multi-line or parallel dialing. If your connect rate is 3% and you need volume to find a conversation, one line is a ceiling you will hit by week two. See parallel dialer vs power dialer for how much throughput extra lines actually buy.
What Mojo is actually good at
Mojo's differentiator is not the dialer — plenty of tools dial three lines. It is that Mojo sells the list in the same subscription. As of September 2026 the data products are: Neighborhood Search $49/month (owner records around a target area, nationwide), Expired listings $50/month, FSBO $25/month, FRBO $25/month, Skip Tracer $49/month (nationwide) and Pre-Foreclosures $49/month. Coverage is US only, and several products are scoped by county or selected area rather than nationwide.
For an agent or a wholesaler this collapses two vendors into one. Pull expireds and FSBOs this morning, skip-trace the numbers, load them straight into the Lead Manager, and run a triple-line session against them this afternoon — no CSV export, no list broker, no import mapping. That workflow is the reason Mojo keeps its position in real estate despite pricing that looks scattered on a comparison chart, and it is worth more than any dialer feature to someone whose bottleneck is fresh records.
Two honest caveats. First, three simultaneous lines to consumer numbers puts you squarely inside the abandoned-call rules — the 3% cap is not optional, and consumer cell numbers carry consent obligations that B2B lists do not. Second, a purchased property list is not a scrubbed list; read do you have to scrub the DNC list before cold calling before your first session, because "the vendor sold it to me" is not a defence.
One user, all-in
Annual billing where the vendor offers it. The Mojo rows build up rather than picking a plan, because that is how Mojo is actually bought.
| One dialing user | Per month | Per year | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| PhoneBurner Standard | $140 ($165 month-to-month) | $1,680 | Unlimited calling, 10k contact imports/mo, 30-day recording retention |
| PhoneBurner Professional | $165 ($195 month-to-month) | $1,980 | Adds browser softphone, live monitoring and coaching, open API |
| PhoneBurner Premium | $183 ($215 month-to-month) | $2,196 | Adds a PhoneBurner number, inbound routing, transcription, 1,000 SMS/mo |
| Mojo Single Line, bare | $99 | $1,188 | You supply the phone line; no recording, no data |
| Mojo Single Line + Voice + recording | $154 | $1,848 | The realistic single-line configuration |
| Mojo Triple Line + Voice + recording + 2 data feeds | $303 | $3,636 | The wholesaler build: Neighborhood Search + Expired |
| DialSheet Pro + own Twilio | $29 + ~$23 Twilio = ~$52 | ~$624 | Power + 2–4 line parallel dialer, CRM, DNC list; you bring the leads |
Three users, all-in
Mojo's per-line economics are what change at headcount: three people dialing simultaneously means three dialer licences, not one shared line, so a triple-line team is buying nine simultaneous lines whether or not it needs them.
| Three dialing users | Per month | Per year | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PhoneBurner Professional × 3 | $495 | $5,940 | Three fully bundled seats, softphone dialing on each |
| PhoneBurner Premium × 3 | $549 | $6,588 | Adds numbers, inbound routing, transcription per seat |
| Mojo: 3 × (Agent + Single Line + Voice) + recording | $412 | $4,944 | Each simultaneous dialer needs its own dialer licence |
| Mojo: 3 × (Agent + Triple Line + Voice) + recording + 2 data feeds | $661 | $7,932 | Nine simultaneous lines across three callers |
| DialSheet Pro (1 × 3-seat pack) + own Twilio | $29 + ~$69 Twilio = ~$98 | ~$1,176 | Shared lead pool, per-rep numbers, no per-user licence |
The Twilio estimate assumes 150 dials per person per day over 21 working days, a quarter of them reaching voicemail and 8% reaching a human for about 2.5 minutes — roughly 1,554 billed minutes per person per month at ~$0.014/min, plus ~$1.15/month per number. Carriers bill a full minute for every voicemail that picks up, which is the line most calculators skip; the workings are in how many minutes cold calling uses. Note the free DialSheet tier caps at 500 calls a month, so anyone dialing at this volume is on Pro.
Pick PhoneBurner if / pick Mojo if
Pick PhoneBurner if
- Your calls are B2B or consultative and each conversation is worth minutes, not seconds.
- You already have the list and want the follow-up handled — voicemail drop plus a tracked email per outcome.
- You want one invoice you can forecast, with unlimited calling inside it and no per-line arithmetic.
- You want live monitoring and whisper coaching for new reps ($165 Professional) or AI transcription ($183 Premium).
- Single-line dialing is a feature to you, not a limit — no connect pause, nothing to abandon.
Pick Mojo if
- You are prospecting real estate and you need the data as much as the dialer.
- Expireds, FSBOs, FRBOs, pre-foreclosures or neighbourhood owner records are your weekly input.
- Your connect rate is low enough that three lines is the difference between 60 and 150 conversations a week.
- You already have a reliable phone line to dial in from and would rather not pay for VoIP.
- You want to start at $99 and add pieces as the business justifies them, with no contract.
The third option: unbundle the telephony
Both vendors bundle the calls into the licence — that is why PhoneBurner's "unlimited" seat costs $140 and Mojo's unlimited-minute dialer licence costs $89 on top of the CRM. The alternative is to pay for the software and let a carrier bill you wholesale for the minutes. DialSheet works that way: the software is free for one person up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, then $29/month per 3-seat pack — never per user — and calls run on your own Twilio account at ~$0.014/min per US outbound minute and ~$1.15/month per number, billed by Twilio with no markup from us. The power dialer, a 2–4 line parallel dialer, the CRM, DNC suppression and local-presence rotation are on every tier.
At 150 dials a day that is about $52 a month for one person and $98 a month for three, against $165 and $495 on PhoneBurner Professional, and $204 for one fully-built Mojo triple-line seat before any data feed. The reason the gap is that wide is not clever engineering — it is that 1,554 minutes of US calling genuinely costs about $22 at wholesale, and everything above that is packaging.
Where DialSheet does not fit
It has no lead data. If Mojo's Neighborhood Search or Expired feed is the reason you are shopping, we do not replace it — you would still buy a data source and import the CSV. Parallel dialing tops out at four lines. There is no bundled phone line: you create a Twilio account and paste two credentials, about ten minutes. And there is no dial-in-from-your-cell mode, so a genuinely bad internet connection is a real objection — that is a case where Mojo's copper-line approach wins on merit. If you never want a Twilio console at all, there is a $49/month managed line.
Run a real dial block before you buy a seat
Import up to 500 leads, connect your own Twilio account and power-dial them — free, no card, no seat minimum. Pro is $29/month per 3 seats when you want unlimited leads, parallel dialing, sequences and AI call insights.
Questions people actually ask
Is PhoneBurner or Mojo cheaper?
Mojo starts cheaper and PhoneBurner ends up simpler. A bare Mojo dialing seat is $10 for Agent Access plus $89 for the Single Line Dialer, so $99 a month; the Triple Line Dialer takes that to $149. PhoneBurner starts at $140/user/month on annual billing for Standard, $165 for Professional and $183 for Premium. But Mojo is à la carte: Mojo Voice is $30 a month per dialing agent, call recording is $25 a month, and lead data runs $25–50 a month per product. A Mojo user who wants triple-line dialing, VoIP, recording and one data feed is past $240 a month, above PhoneBurner Premium.
Does PhoneBurner do multi-line or parallel dialing?
No. PhoneBurner dials one line at a time by design and markets that as the point: because only one call is placed per rep, there is no dead-air pause when the prospect answers and no risk of abandoning a call you cannot staff. It advertises up to about 80 dials an hour on a single line, achieved through one-click voicemail drop and one-click follow-up email that fire while the dialer advances. If you need two or three simultaneous lines, PhoneBurner is the wrong tool and Mojo Triple Line, or any parallel dialer, is the category you want.
How does Mojo pricing actually work?
Mojo separates the CRM from the dialer from the phone line from the data. Agent Access, the Lead Manager and CRM, is $10 per user per month and at least one licence is required. A dialer licence is bought on top: $89 a month for Single Line or $139 for Triple Line, with unlimited minutes. Every agent who dials at the same time needs their own dialer licence. Mojo Voice, the VoIP line, is $30 a month per dialing agent; call recording is $25 a month. Data products are separate subscriptions: Neighborhood Search $49, Expired $50, FSBO $25, FRBO $25, Skip Tracer $49, Pre-Foreclosures $49 per month.
Do you need your own phone line to use Mojo?
Unless you buy Mojo Voice at $30 a month per dialing agent, yes. The classic Mojo workflow is that you place one outbound call from a landline, mobile or VoIP line into the Mojo platform, and the platform then dials your list while you stay on that open line — which is why Mojo talks about running on a copper-wire network rather than over the internet, and why call quality holds up on bad Wi-Fi. It also means your phone bill, your handset and your mobile plan are part of the setup. PhoneBurner works the same way on its Standard plan; browser softphone dialing starts on Professional at $165.
Which is better for real estate wholesaling?
Mojo, in most cases, and the reason is data rather than dialing. Mojo sells the prospecting lists a wholesaler needs inside the same subscription — Neighborhood Search at $49 a month for owner records around a target area, Expired listings at $50, FSBO and FRBO at $25 each, Skip Tracer at $49, Pre-Foreclosures at $49 — and pairs them with a triple-line dialer built for high-volume, low-connect-rate calling. PhoneBurner has no property data at all: you bring a list. For a wholesaler pulling fresh county lists every week, Mojo is one vendor instead of two. Check DNC obligations before dialing either list.
Which is better for B2B sales calls?
PhoneBurner. Its whole design serves consultative, one-at-a-time calling: single-line dialing with no connect pause, one-click voicemail drop, and a one-click email that fires based on the call outcome with open tracking, so a 40-call block produces 40 logged touches without any manual typing. It also has proper CRM sync, live monitoring and whisper coaching on Professional, an open API, and AI call transcription and note-taking on Premium. Mojo is built around real-estate prospecting workflows and property data, which a B2B team pays for and never uses.
Is there a cheaper option than either for a solo caller?
Yes, if you are willing to bring your own carrier account. Tools that run on your own Twilio pay wholesale for calls — about $0.014 per US outbound minute and about $1.15 a month per local number — instead of buying minutes inside a seat licence. DialSheet is free for one person up to 500 leads and 500 calls a month, then $29 a month per three-seat pack, with the power dialer, a 2–4 line parallel dialer, CRM, DNC suppression and local-presence rotation on every tier. A solo caller making 150 dials a day lands near $52 a month all-in, against $99–149 on Mojo before data and $140–183 on PhoneBurner. What you do not get is property data or a bundled phone line.
