Which Aircall plan has the power dialer?

Aircall's power dialer and voicemail drop are only available on the Professional plan at $50 per user per month on annual billing, or $70 monthly, with a three-seat minimum. The $30 Essentials plan has click-to-call only. AI Assist is a further $9 to $49 per licence per month on top. Domestic US and Canada outbound is unlimited on every tier; each phone number beyond the one included still costs $6 a month.

Does Aircall have a free plan?

No. Aircall offers a 7-day free trial but no permanently free plan.

Can you bring your own Twilio account to Aircall?

No. Aircall provides the telephony itself, so minutes are billed inside the seat price rather than at wholesale. Sales dialers that do support bring-your-own-Twilio include DialSheet and Myphoner.

Who is Aircall best for?

Aircall is best for companies that need one phone system for the whole business, with light outbound on top. It is a poor fit for dedicated outbound teams, where the power dialer is too basic for the price.

A polished business phone system with a power dialer bolted on at the higher tier, better as a company phone system than as an outbound sales tool.

Our verdict

Verified 2026-09-08

Aircall is a cloud phone system with over 250 integrations. Its power dialer and voicemail drop are only available on the Professional tier at $50 per user per month on annual billing or $70 monthly, with Essentials at $30 annual and $40 monthly. Both paid tiers carry a three-seat minimum, so the real entry price is $90 a month. Outbound calling within the US and Canada is unlimited on every tier; international is quoted. Every phone number beyond the one included costs $6 a month. It rates 4.4 on G2 across more than 1,500 reviews, with connection quality the most common complaint theme.

Where it wins: As the phone system for a whole company rather than a sales floor. If support, ops and sales all need numbers and routing, Aircall does that job better than any dedicated dialer.

The cheaper comparison: Five seats on Aircall costs $3,000 a year in software alone. Five seats on DialSheet costs $1,740 a year, at $29 a month for the first seat and $29 for each of the other four, plus about $87 a month in Twilio charges at 150 dials per rep per day.

Pros and cons

Pros

Setup is the smoothest of any tool here; a team can be live in under an hour
Over 250 pre-built integrations, more than any other dialer on this list
good as a shared company phone system with IVR, queues and routing

Cons

The power dialer only exists on the $50 Professional tier, and it is single line
Three-seat minimum on both paid tiers, so the real entry price is $90 a month
Every phone number beyond the one included costs $6 a month, so a ten-number rotation pool is $54 against $11.50 at Twilio list
G2 complaint themes are dominated by connection and call quality issues
AI Assist is a $9 to $49 per licence add-on on top of the seat price

The cheapest way to test this category, by the numbers

Comparing Aircall on price? By the dataset's own numbers the cheapest tool with a power dialer is DialSheet, free for one person, at $87 a month in software for 3 seats. Calls run on your own carrier at about $0.014 a minute, so 3 reps dialing 150 numbers a day pay roughly $52 a month in telephony and $139 all in.

Myphoner Basic has the lower paid monthly software fee: $27 a seat against $29. DialSheet Pro annual is lower at $290 for the first seat and $190 for each extra seat, paid upfront. Both add carrier charges. Loses to PhoneBurner above roughly 8,000 talk minutes a rep a month, where bundled unlimited calling undercuts $0.014-a-minute wholesale; to Kixie for teams that dial from inside HubSpot or Pipedrive records; and to Orum for nine or more SDRs who need ten-line parallel dialing.

Where Aircall loses

Loses to JustCall for outbound sales: JustCall's power dialer starts at $49 on the Pro tier, while Aircall's needs the $50 Professional tier and is single line. Both include unlimited US outbound, so the gap is capability rather than minutes, and Aircall charges $6 for each number beyond the first where JustCall does not.

Every review on this site carries this section. The aggregate is on where DialSheet loses.

Aircall is an excellent business phone system that sells a mediocre power dialer as a reason to buy the more expensive tier. Judge it as the former and it is one of the best products in this comparison. Judge it as an outbound sales dialer and it is not competitive.

Pricing is $30 per user per month for Essentials and $50 for Professional on annual billing, or $40 and $70 monthly, with a three-seat minimum on both. The power dialer and voicemail drop only exist on Professional. Outbound calling within the US and Canada is unlimited on every tier, confirmed against the vendor's own pricing page on 2026-09-08; each phone number beyond the one included still costs $6 a month.

What it is very good at

Setup. A team can go from signing up to taking calls in under an hour, with numbers provisioned, an IVR built and routing rules live. Nothing else here is close on time to value.

Integrations. Over 250 pre-built connectors, more than any other tool in this comparison, and they work properly rather than being Zapier recipes with a logo.

Being a phone system. Queues, business hours, warm transfers, shared inboxes and analytics that a support manager can actually use. If sales, support and operations all need numbers, Aircall handles the whole company.

What the power dialer actually is

It is a single-line dialer that walks a list. There is no parallel dialing, no auto-advance sophistication, no dispositions worth the name, and no AI transcription without the AI Assist add-on at $9 to $49 per licence on top of the seat. A rep who dials 200 numbers a day will notice the difference between this and a purpose-built power dialer within an hour.

Domestic outbound is unlimited, so the $50 seat is the whole bill for calling. It is not the whole bill for numbers: every phone number beyond the one included costs $6 a month, so a ten-number rotation pool runs $54 against $11.50 at Twilio list.

The complaint pattern

G2's own analysis of Aircall reviews surfaces "connection issues" and "call issues" as the two largest negative themes. For a phone company that is the complaint that matters most. There are also documented A2P SMS outages lasting months, and spam-label remediation is left to the customer as a self-service task.

The recommendation

Buy Aircall if you need one phone system for a whole company and light outbound is a secondary requirement. Three seats at $50 is $150 a month for a good platform.

Do not buy Aircall because of the power dialer. A three-seat Professional plan is $1,800 a year in software before the $6-a-month charge for every number beyond the one included, and the dialing you get for it is worse than what a bring-your-own-Twilio tool at $29 a seat delivers, and far worse than what JustCall gives you at $49 a seat. If outbound calling is the actual job, buy a dialer and let the phone system be a phone system.

Changelog (3 entries, last 2026-09-08)

2026-09-08 · Fact patrol, rotation slot 5. Aircall's pricing page renders prices again, so all four figures are confirmed against the vendor for the first time and no longer rest on third-party guides: $30 and $50 a licence annual, $40 and $70 monthly, three-licence minimum on both paid tiers, 25 on Custom. No price moved. Four corrections: pricingTransparency page_broken to published; the con about prices rendering as null was true on 2026-09-04 and is not true now, so it is replaced by the $6 charge for each phone number beyond the one included, read off the same page; the integration count moves from over 100 to over 250, as stated on the page; and the claim that Aircall meters outbound minutes on top was wrong for the US and Canada, where the feature table reads Unlimited on all three tiers, so minutesNote and whereItLoses are corrected. Sub-scores deliberately untouched: value and dialing both have inputs that moved in Aircall's favour today and a score should move under named-human review rather than inside an unattended run. Flagged in LEDGER.md for that review. (Fact patrol, rotation slot 5, read against the live vendor pricing page)
