Best AI Sales Dialer Software in 2026
AI sales dialer software is a calling platform that lets outbound reps place far more calls per hour by dialing leads in sequence or several at once, with AI that detects live answers, transcribes and scores calls, coaches during the conversation or sends a voice agent to make calls. It is not an inbound support phone system, and it is not an email-only sequencing tool.
Quick answer
Close ranks first because its plan prices, per-plan AI credits and dialer tiers are all printed. JustCall fits teams that want a power dialer from $49 per seat. PhoneBurner fits reps who spend the day on calls and want unlimited calling at a printed price.
A sales manager shopping for a dialer usually has a lead list, a CRM and reps who lose hours to ringing phones and voicemail. Vendors now pitch AI on top: answer detection, call scoring, live coaching and agents that dial for you. The pricing pages show less about what that AI costs, which dialing mode sits in which tier and whether recordings train the vendor's models. This ranking weighs printed prices, where the power or predictive dialer starts, how clearly AI limits are stated and what the privacy pages say about call data. We read vendor pages in November 2026 and ran none of these products, so speed claims are the vendors' own.

Close ranks first because a buyer can read most of what matters. Four plans carry printed prices, each with a stated AI credit allowance per seat, and the dialer tiers are laid out: power on Growth, predictive on Scale. Chloe, the AI sales agent, is on every plan. The gaps are that each price sits beside a second figure with no billing cycle named, and that no hosting region is stated.
Strong on
- Power dialer on Growth and predictive dialer on Scale, inside a CRM with email and SMS
- AI credits per seat are stated on every plan, from 500 on Solo to 2,000 on Scale
- Chloe AI agent with batch calling is available on all plans
Weak on
- Each price appears next to a second figure, and the pricing text does not say which is monthly
- Workflows and the power dialer need Growth, so the cheap tiers dial manually
Skip it if: Teams that already run Salesforce or HubSpot and only want a dialer layer without moving records into another CRM. Solo is capped at one user. Power dialer starts on Growth at $99, predictive dialer on Scale.
- 2
JustCall takes second place because it publishes four tiers, starts the power dialer at $49 and puts AI scoring, sentiment and script compliance on Pro Plus at $89. The listed prices carry custom-pricing labels, though, and the plan that adds a predictive dialer up to ten lines is quote only. A 14-day trial with SalesPro features lets a team test the top tier before choosing a seat tier.
Strong on
- Power dialer, queue callback and Salesforce CTI arrive on the Pro plan at $49
- Pro Plus adds AI call scoring, sentiment analysis, script compliance and real-time agent assist
- The 14-day trial needs no credit card and includes SalesPro features
Weak on
- Several listed prices carry a Custom Pricing label, so the final quote may differ
- Every plan has a two-seat minimum, and AI Review Assist is an add-on below Pro Plus
Skip it if: Solo reps who need one seat, since the listed plans start at two, and teams that need a named EU hosting region. Power dialer starts on Pro at $49. SalesPro with predictive dialing is quote only.
- 3
Aircall ranks third because its published seat prices are low for what Professional includes: Power Dialer, outbound campaigns, AI summaries, whisper and barge, and full API access at $50. AI Voice Agents come on every plan with 50 minutes monthly on Essentials. It sits below Close and JustCall because the dialer is one feature of a phone system, and the minutes pricing on the page shows two sets of figures.
Strong on
- Professional adds Power Dialer, outbound campaigns, AI summaries, call whisper and barge
- AI Voice Agents run in 38 languages and are included on every plan
- 250 or more integrations are listed even on Essentials
Weak on
- Essentials and Professional need three licenses, and Enterprise needs 25 users
- The page shows two sets of figures for high-volume AI minute bundles
Skip it if: Solo reps and teams that need predictive or parallel dialing, since the listed dialer is a power dialer. AI Voice Agents are included on every plan. Power Dialer starts on Professional at $50.
- 4
PhoneBurner ranks fourth because it is a dialer first and says so with printed prices: $140, $165 and $183 per seat on annual billing, all with unlimited calling. Open API and live coaching start on Professional, and the AI note-taker waits until Premium. It sits below the phone-system vendors because its AI is narrow and its entry price is the highest of the seat-priced tools, with no free trial length stated.
Strong on
- Unlimited calling is listed on all three tiers at printed per-seat prices
- Open API and live call monitoring and coaching start on Professional
- Premium adds call transcription, an AI note-taker and unlimited recording storage
Weak on
- Recording storage is 30 days on Standard and 90 days on Professional
- SMS beyond 1,000 a month costs an extra $15 per 1,000 on Premium
Skip it if: Budget-minded teams, since seats start at $140, and buyers who want AI call scoring or agents that dial on their own. Standard is $165 billed monthly. Each plan card offers a trial of unstated length.
- 5
Nooks ranks fifth because its AI covers the widest scope in this group: an AI Dialer with answer detection, AI sequencing, call scoring, roleplay bots and a personal assistant called Node. The cost is transparency. No tier or price is published, and the privacy policy says call recordings can train its models unless a customer opts out by email. Teams with a budget and a firm view of data terms should test it.
Strong on
- AI Dialer with answer detection plus AI sequencing, call scoring and roleplay training bots
- Node assistant and signals tooling sit in the same product as the dialer
- The policy says third-party AI providers may not train on customer data
Weak on
- No tiers or prices are published, and the quote scope is not stated
- Call recordings may train proprietary models unless the customer opts out by email
Skip it if: Small teams that need a published price, and buyers who cannot allow recordings near model training by default. Quote only through a form. The pricing page does not say which products or tiers the quote covers.
- 6
Salesfinity ranks sixth because it lists four license types and bundles a parallel dialer and a shared salesfloor view into each dialing license, and its AI employee, Ari, is metered by use. The barrier is cost: Gold starts at $249 per license, the card and the FAQ disagree about monthly billing, and no trial is named. The privacy pages we tried returned errors.
Strong on
- Every dialing license carries a parallel dialer and a shared salesfloor
- Enterprise adds AI Sequencer, Live Assist, list building and 200 mobile numbers a month
- A free Admin license lets managers watch and coach without dialing
Weak on
- The Gold card says $249 while the FAQ says $299 for monthly billing
- Sequencer costs an extra $60 on Gold, and calling abroad costs $50 more
Skip it if: Buyers who need a documented privacy policy before a trial, and teams that want a free plan or trial. The FAQ shows month-to-month Gold at $299, which conflicts with the $249 card.
- 7
Kixie ranks seventh because the product is clear and the numbers are not. Its Multi-Line PowerDialer rings up to four lines and carries AI Human Voice Detection, and Conversation Intelligence adds AI call analysis. In the pricing text we captured, no plan or add-on had a price, and the terms let Kixie use de-identified recording data for machine learning. A 7-day trial is the way to learn the cost.
Strong on
- Multi-Line PowerDialer rings up to four lines with AI Human Voice Detection
- Professional plan includes voicemail drop, SMS templates, live call coaching and API access
- A 7-day free trial is offered, and add-ons such as DNC compliance are sold separately
Weak on
- No plan or add-on prices appeared in the captured pricing text
- Terms allow de-identified recording and transcript data to feed machine learning models
Skip it if: Buyers who need to see a price before talking to sales, and teams that restrict model training on recordings. No prices appeared in the captured pricing text. A 7-day trial is offered, and add-ons are unpriced.
- 8
Outreach ranks eighth because the dialer is a module, not the product. Outreach Voice is included from Amplify Essentials, next to AI agents, coaching cards and an MCP server, with AI credits from 10,000 to 100,000 by tier. All four tiers are quote only, and API calls and custom objects are capped by tier. It fits a revenue team already planning a platform buy, not a team that needs to start dialing.
Strong on
- Outreach Voice dialer is included from Amplify Essentials upward
- AI credits scale from 10,000 to 100,000 across four tiers, with named AI agents
- Outreach MCP is listed on every plan for outside assistants
Weak on
- All four plans are quote only, with no list prices
- API calls are capped at 250,000 on Core and 500,000 on Plus
Skip it if: Small teams that want a dialer alone and buyers who need a published price before a sales call. All four Amplify plans are quote only, with per-user pricing and consumption-based AI credits.
- 9
Convoso ranks ninth because it targets heavy outbound floors with predictive and power dialing, dynamic scripting and a named Voice AI Agent, but shows a buyer almost nothing before a demo. No plan, price or trial is published, carrier fees are extra and the policy refers to LLM training in a state-law section. Only a Salesforce integration is listed on the pages we read.
Strong on
- Predictive and power dialing sit in one platform, with dynamic scripting during calls
- A Voice AI Agent and a free AI Sales Script Generator are named on the site
- Compliance tools, workflow automation and reporting are listed on the page
Weak on
- No plans, prices or trial are published, and carrier fees are billed separately
- The privacy policy refers to training large language models in its Connecticut section
Skip it if: Small teams that want self-serve signup and published seat prices, and buyers who need many CRM connectors. No plans or prices are published. Quotes follow a live demo, and carrier fees are billed separately.
- 10
Amplemarket ranks tenth because calling is a side of a prospecting product. Duo Voice, its calling feature, starts on Growth, which has no published price, so a buyer who only needs a dialer pays for contact data, mailboxes and AI signals. Startup at $600 a month is clear. Teams that want sourcing and sequencing from one vendor get the most out of it.
Strong on
- Startup shows a printed price with 27,000 contacts and AI intent signals
- Duo Copilot and AI Intent Signals come on every plan
- Elite adds Duo Inbox, 10 users and a dedicated success manager
Weak on
- Duo Voice, the calling product, is not included on Startup
- Growth and Elite show no price, only Custom
Skip it if: Teams that want only a dialer, and buyers who do not need contact data credits. Startup includes 27,000 contacts and two mailboxes per user. Growth and Elite are custom quotes.
- 11
CallHippo ranks eleventh because it is a business phone system first, and the sales dialing story is thin. Its AI Voice Agent costs $45 per agent plus $0.29 per minute, and an AI Copilot pilot plan adds transcription and sentiment analysis. The first six months of Basic are free, but the page puts custom labels beside listed prices, and an Enterprise plan needs 50 users.
Strong on
- AI Voice Agent at $45 per agent per month, with 100 minutes on start
- Professional lists unlimited US and Canada calling, recordings and AI voicemail transcription
- Automatic machine detection is listed on the outbound side
Weak on
- Basic is free only for six months before an upgrade to Starter
- Voice Agent calling is billed per minute on top of the monthly fee
Skip it if: Teams that need a documented power or predictive dialer, and buyers who need prices with no custom label. Several listed prices carry a Custom pricing label, and the page also shows rupee figures.
- 12
Dialpad ranks last of twelve because the pages we captured show AI coaching, not a dialer. Sell Essentials at $39 includes AI transcripts and recaps and unlimited US and Canada minutes, Advanced at $59 adds Live Coach, and Premium at $79 lists Account Hub as coming soon. No dialing mode is named in the text, and its privacy pages returned errors, so data handling is unchecked.
Strong on
- Sell Essentials includes AI transcripts and recaps and one year of recording retrieval
- Live Coach with real-time assist starts on Sell Advanced at $59
- Resolve adds AI agents billed per conversation through credits
Weak on
- No dialing mode such as power or predictive was named in the captured text
- Privacy policy pages returned errors, so data handling was not checked
Skip it if: Teams that shop specifically for a power or predictive dialer, and buyers who need verified data terms before a trial. The page has a monthly and annual toggle, and the captured text does not say which cycle the price uses.
How these AI sales dialer software were judged
What does the AI in a sales dialer actually do?
The AI sits in three places: deciding whether a human answered, helping the rep during the call, and scoring calls afterward. Kixie names AI Human Voice Detection on its Multi-Line PowerDialer and Nooks names AI answer detection. JustCall lists call scoring, script compliance and objection handling, and Dialpad lists Live Coach. Close and Convoso each sell an AI agent that makes calls, called Chloe and Voice AI Agent. Salesfinity bills its AI employee Ari by use. PhoneBurner keeps AI narrow: Krisp noise cancellation and a note-taker on Premium. Ask each vendor to show a call where detection got it wrong.
How much does an AI sales dialer cost per seat?
As of November 2026, Close runs from Solo at $9 for one user to Scale at $139, and its power dialer starts at Growth, $99. JustCall puts its power dialer on Pro at $49 billed annually, Aircall Professional is $50, Dialpad Sell tiers run $39 to $79 and PhoneBurner runs $140 to $183 with unlimited calling. Salesfinity starts at $249 per license and Amplemarket Startup at $600 a month. Nooks, Outreach and Convoso publish no prices, and Kixie showed none in the text we captured. Add-ons for AI notes, voice agents and extra numbers can change the total.
Do AI dialers train on your call recordings?
Policies differ more than the marketing does. Nooks says aggregated workspace data and call recordings can train its proprietary models unless the customer opts out by email. Kixie says it may use de-identified data from recordings and transcripts for machine learning. Convoso's policy mentions training large language models in a state-law section. Close names OpenAI and Anthropic as AI providers without training terms. JustCall states US hosting and Aircall names US and European locations. Salesfinity and Dialpad privacy pages returned errors when we tried them, so get written answers before recording customers.
How hard is it to switch sales dialers later?
Contacts move easily through CRM sync, while recordings, call logs, scripts and phone numbers are the parts that stay behind. Recording retention differs by plan: PhoneBurner keeps 30 days on Standard and 90 on Professional, and Close lists unlimited retention on Scale. Salesfinity ties its listed price to annual billing and its Enterprise plan to 12 months. Aircall asks for three licenses at minimum and Enterprise needs 25 users. Before signing, export a month of recordings and call outcomes, and ask the vendor whether purchased numbers can move to another carrier.
Which sales dialer fits your team size and call volume?
A two to five person team that wants one system fits Close. A team that needs a phone system and a dialer from one vendor looks at JustCall or Aircall. High-volume inside sales on a CRM they already own looks at PhoneBurner, Kixie or Convoso, with Convoso aimed at compliance-heavy outbound floors. Larger orgs that want AI to draft sequences and coach reps compare Outreach, Nooks and Amplemarket, and teams that want an AI to place first calls test Salesfinity or the voice agents from Close, Aircall and CallHippo. Count seats and minimums before comparing.
How to choose an AI sales dialer in three steps
- Pick the dialing mode before the vendor. Decide whether reps need a power dialer, which rings one lead after another, a parallel dialer that rings several, or a predictive dialer that paces calls to agent availability. Close starts the power dialer on Growth and the predictive dialer on Scale. Kixie dials up to four lines on its Multi-Line tier, and JustCall lists a predictive dialer up to ten lines on its quote-only SalesPro. Match the mode to your list quality and your calling rules, since faster pacing leaves more abandoned calls and more compliance exposure for a small team.
- Run a one-week pilot with your own lead list. Load a real list of 500 to 1,000 leads into two trials and count connects per hour, answer-detection errors and voicemails dropped by mistake. Most vendors here offer a trial: JustCall gives 14 days with SalesPro features, Kixie 7 days and CallHippo 10 days on most upper tiers. Convoso and Salesfinity name no trial, so ask for a demo account. Have reps log every misrouted call and every mistaken voicemail drop, then compare the logs across trials before you look at a single pricing page again.
- Get call-data terms in writing. Ask each vendor three questions: do call recordings or transcripts train your models, which AI providers receive the audio, and how long are recordings kept after you cancel. Nooks documents an opt-out for model training, and Close lists its AI providers by name. If the vendor cannot answer in writing, switch off AI notes for calls with customers in regulated industries. Check call recording consent rules in every state or country your reps dial, because the dialer does not settle them for you.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI sales dialer software in 2026?
Close ranks first here because it prints every plan price, states AI credits per seat and starts its power dialer on Growth at $99. JustCall is the pick for a phone system plus dialer, and PhoneBurner suits reps who want unlimited calling with a dialer-first design and no per-minute worries.
What is the difference between a power dialer and a predictive dialer?
A power dialer calls the next lead as soon as a rep finishes the last call, so one person is always on one line. A predictive dialer paces several calls ahead of rep availability and connects humans to whoever picks up. Close lists both, with the predictive dialer on Scale.
Which AI sales dialers publish their prices?
Close, JustCall, PhoneBurner, Aircall, Dialpad, Salesfinity, CallHippo and Amplemarket's Startup plan publish prices. Nooks, Outreach and Convoso are quote only, JustCall's SalesPro is quote only, and the Kixie pricing text we captured showed no figures. Several pages list a second figure or a custom label beside a price.
Can an AI dialer call leads without a human rep?
Some can. Close offers Chloe with batch calling, Aircall includes AI Voice Agents on every plan, CallHippo sells an AI Voice Agent at $45 per agent plus per-minute calling, and Convoso names a Voice AI Agent. Salesfinity's Ari is billed by use. Review local rules on automated calls and disclosure before pointing any of them at prospects.
Is there a free AI sales dialer?
No dialer here has a permanent free plan with a dialer included. CallHippo lists a Basic phone plan at $0 for the first six months, then Starter at $18 per user. Close, PhoneBurner, JustCall, Kixie and Amplemarket offer trials. Salesfinity offers a free admin license for managers who coach but do not dial.
How many seats do I need to buy?
It varies by vendor. JustCall and Aircall's listed plans carry minimums of two and three seats, and Aircall Enterprise needs 25 users. Close has a one-user Solo plan at $9. Salesfinity sells a $99 light license for account managers and a free admin license. CallHippo Enterprise has a 50-user minimum.
Do sales dialers work with Salesforce and HubSpot?
Most do. PhoneBurner, Kixie, JustCall, Aircall, CallHippo, Salesfinity and Amplemarket list both HubSpot and Salesforce. Convoso lists Salesforce, and Close ships its own CRM and also lists HubSpot. Dialpad lists both as well. Depth varies, so test whether call notes, outcomes and recordings land on the right contact record.
Do I need to worry about recording consent and do-not-call rules?
Yes, and the vendor does not carry that duty for you. Kixie sells DNC compliance as an add-on and Convoso lists compliance tools, but each rep still needs consent practices for every state or country dialed. Check the rules for your markets, and tell reps when an AI notetaker or voice agent is active.
