Dialer pricing
How much does a power dialer cost?
Last updated July 23, 2026
Short answer
Power dialers cost $19–$250+ per user per month at 2026 list prices, across three pricing models: per-seat with bundled telephony (JustCall ~$19+ up to Orum ~$250+), flat-rate (one price regardless of seats), and bring-your-own-carrier (BYOC), where the software is cheap or free and you pay your own Twilio ~$0.014/minute for calls. DialSheet is the third kind: free up to 500 leads, $19/month per 3-seat pack on Pro — never per-user.
2026 power dialer price survey
List prices as published or commonly quoted in 2026, cheapest first. All figures are approximate — vendors change pricing often, and several only quote through sales — so treat the tildes seriously and confirm on each vendor's page before you buy.
| Tool | List price (2026) | Pricing model | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| DialSheet | Free (≤500 leads); Pro $19/mo per 3-seat pack | BYOC, pack-priced | Never per-user — $19 covers 3 seats; telephony via your own Twilio (~$0.014/min) |
| Dialpad | ~$15–25/user/mo | Per-seat | UCaaS-first; sales dialer features in higher tiers |
| JustCall | ~$19+/user/mo | Per-seat | Auto/power dialer typically gated above the entry plan |
| Aircall | ~$30+/user/mo | Per-seat | Seat minimums apply; power dialer in Professional tier |
| Kixie | ~$35+/user/mo | Per-seat | PowerCall dialer; minutes often metered on top |
| BatchDialer | ~$89+/user/mo | Per-seat | Multi-line dialing; popular in real estate |
| Close | ~$99+/user/mo | Per-seat | Full CRM with built-in calling; you pay for the whole suite |
| Mojo | ~$99–149/user/mo | Per-seat / per-line | Single vs triple-line pricing; real-estate focused |
| PhoneBurner | ~$149+/user/mo | Per-seat | Unlimited dialing bundled into the seat price |
| Salesloft / Outreach | ~$100+/user/mo (quote-based) | Per-seat | Dialer is one module of a sales-engagement suite; annual contracts |
| Orum | ~$250+/user/mo | Per-seat | AI parallel dialer; premium managed product |
Per-user monthly rates unless noted; annual-commit rates where vendors publish both. See head-to-head comparisons for feature detail on each tool.
The three pricing models behind those numbers
The $19-to-$250 spread is not random — it maps to three different business models, and knowing which one you're looking at tells you where the money goes.
1. Per-seat with bundled telephony
The dominant model: a fixed fee per login per month, with minutes either bundled (PhoneBurner) or metered on top (many cheaper tools). The vendor buys telephony wholesale and resells it inside the seat fee. Cost scales with headcount, not usage — a rep who barely dials costs the same as one grinding 150 dials a day. See why per-seat compounds so fast.
2. Flat-rate
One monthly price covering the whole team or a block of users. Per-user cost falls as you add people, so flat-rate wins with growing or mixed-usage teams. Watch for seat caps within tiers and whether minutes are bundled or extra.
3. Bring-your-own-carrier (BYOC)
The software connects to your own Twilio account and you buy minutes at wholesale — about $0.014/min for US outbound plus ~$1.15/month per number. No telephony markup means the software can be cheap or free. DialSheet works this way: free up to 500 leads, $19/month per 3-seat pack on Pro. Full usage math in the Twilio cost breakdown.
The hidden-cost decoder
The list price and the invoice rarely match. Five mechanics account for most of the gap:
Minutes billed on top of the seat
Plenty of per-seat plans meter calling — per-minute rates or prepaid credit bundles layered over the license. The seat gets you in the door; the talk time is extra, and the per-minute rate is marked up well above the ~$0.014/min wholesale you would pay a carrier directly.
Onboarding and implementation fees
Premium dialers and sales-engagement suites often attach a one-time onboarding fee — sometimes hundreds to thousands of dollars — that never appears on the pricing page. Ask for the first-invoice total, not the monthly rate.
Annual lock-in behind the headline price
The advertised number is usually the annual-commit rate. Pay monthly and the price jumps; commit annually and you are on the hook for the year even if the tool does not work out. Quote-based tools (Salesloft, Outreach, Orum) almost always require annual contracts.
Per-line add-ons on multi-line dialers
Some multi-line tools price per line rather than per user — Mojo, for example, prices single-line and triple-line service differently. A "triple-line dialer for one rep" can cost what you expected three reps to cost.
The dialer lives in a higher tier
On several tools the actual power dialer is not in the cheapest plan — the teaser price and the price that dials are different prices. Aircall gates its Power Dialer above the entry tier, and JustCall does similarly. Always price the tier with the feature you came for.
What teams really pay per year
Same team, three models, twelve months. "Budget per-seat" assumes ~$19–30/user (JustCall, Dialpad, Aircall territory); "premium per-seat" assumes ~$99–149/user (Close, Mojo, PhoneBurner territory); "flat + BYOC" is DialSheet Pro at $19/month per 3-seat pack plus ~$15–30/rep/month of Twilio usage for reps dialing hard.
| Team | Budget per-seat (~$19–30) | Premium per-seat (~$99–149) | Flat + BYOC (DialSheet) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 rep | ~$228–360/yr + metered minutes | ~$1,188–1,788/yr | ~$228/yr + ~$180–360 Twilio |
| 3 reps | ~$684–1,080/yr + minutes | ~$3,564–5,364/yr | ~$228/yr (1 pack) + ~$540–1,080 Twilio |
| 10 reps | ~$2,280–3,600/yr + minutes | ~$11,880–17,880/yr | ~$912/yr (4 packs) + ~$1,800–3,600 Twilio |
Yearly totals at list prices, before onboarding fees or overages. The pattern: per-seat models multiply with every hire; the flat + BYOC software line grows in $19 steps of three seats — ten reps is $912/year, not $11,880 — and the usage line tracks talk time.
When each model is actually the right choice
Per-seat makes sense if…
- You have one or two reps who dial heavily every day — a low seat price with bundled minutes can genuinely be the cheapest total.
- You want minutes, numbers, and compliance handled by one vendor and will pay for the convenience.
- You need a managed parallel dialer with human oversight (the Orum model) and the ~$250+/user premium pays for itself in connects.
Flat-rate makes sense if…
- You have 3+ users or plan to hire — the per-user math collapses in your favor.
- Usage is mixed: SDRs dialing all day next to AEs and managers who call occasionally.
BYOC makes sense if…
- You want the lowest possible total cost and will spend a few minutes connecting a Twilio account.
- You want cost to track talk time, not logins — seasonal teams, part-time callers, agencies.
- You want to own your numbers and carrier relationship instead of renting them from a dialer vendor.
The $19 end of the market
DialSheet is a free power dialer with a built-in CRM for up to 500 leads. Pro is $19/month per 3-seat pack — never per-user — with unlimited leads, call + email + SMS sequences, AI insights, and API access. Calls run on your own Twilio at ~$0.014/minute, so there's no telephony markup anywhere in the bill.
Common questions
How much does a power dialer cost per month?
Between $19 and $250+ per user per month at 2026 list prices, depending on the pricing model. Budget per-seat tools like JustCall and Dialpad start around $15–25/user; mid-market tools like Kixie and Aircall run about $30–35+/user; premium per-seat tools like BatchDialer, Close, Mojo, and PhoneBurner run roughly $89–149+/user; and managed parallel dialers like Orum run about $250+/user. Flat-rate and bring-your-own-carrier (BYOC) tools sit outside the per-user model entirely — DialSheet, for example, is free up to 500 leads and $19/month per 3-seat pack on Pro — a 6-person team is $38/month total — with telephony billed by your own Twilio account.
What is the cheapest power dialer?
On pure software cost, a free BYOC dialer: DialSheet costs $0 up to 500 leads (Pro is $19/month per 3-seat pack — never per-user), and you pay your own Twilio account roughly $0.014/minute for US outbound calls plus about $1.15/month per number. Among per-seat tools, JustCall (from about $19/user) and Dialpad (about $15–25/user) are the cheapest list prices, but the actual dialer feature often lives in a higher tier and minutes may be metered on top.
Why do power dialer prices range from $19 to over $250 per user?
Three things drive the spread: how much telephony is bundled (unlimited-minute plans like PhoneBurner cost more than metered ones), how aggressive the dialing engine is (multi-line parallel dialers like Orum charge a large premium over single-line power dialers), and how much surrounding software is included (Close bundles a full CRM; Salesloft and Outreach bundle an entire sales-engagement suite and are quote-priced around $100+/user). You are rarely paying for the dialing itself — US outbound minutes cost carriers pennies.
Do power dialer subscriptions include call minutes?
Sometimes. PhoneBurner-style plans bundle unlimited dialing into the seat price, which is part of why they cost ~$149+/user. Many cheaper per-seat plans meter minutes or sell credit bundles on top of the license, so the advertised seat price is not the whole bill. BYOC tools like DialSheet include no minutes at all by design — you buy them at wholesale from your own Twilio account (~$0.014/min US), which is usually the cheapest way to acquire talk time.
Is a per-seat power dialer ever the cheapest option?
Yes — for one rep who dials very heavily on a plan with unlimited minutes bundled. If a single rep talks 4+ hours a day, bundled-minute per-seat pricing can compete with BYOC usage billing, and there is no carrier account to manage. The math flips as soon as you add a second or third seat, because per-seat cost multiplies with headcount while flat-rate and BYOC costs barely move.
What hidden costs should I check before buying a power dialer?
Five recurring ones: minute overages or credit bundles billed on top of the seat; one-time onboarding or implementation fees on premium tools; annual-commit pricing hiding behind the headline monthly number; per-line add-ons on multi-line dialers (some price per line, not per user); and seat minimums that turn a "$30/user" plan into a $90 floor. Always price the tier that actually contains the power dialer — it is frequently not the cheapest tier.
