Does Dialpad have a power dialer?

Yes, on the Advanced tier of Dialpad Sell, listed by third-party guides at $95 per user per month on annual billing as of August 2026. It is a single-line power dialer with no parallel dialing at any tier. Dialpad's strength is its real-time AI transcription and Real-Time Assist cards rather than dialing throughput.

How much does Dialpad Sell cost?

Dialpad Sell starts at $39 per user per month on its cheapest published tier, verified 2026-09-17. Unlimited US and Canada calling per Dialpad's UCaaS norms. Not separately confirmed for the Sell tier.

Does Dialpad Sell have a free plan?

No. Dialpad Sell offers a 14-day free trial but no permanently free plan.

Can you bring your own Twilio account to Dialpad Sell?

No. Dialpad Sell 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 Dialpad Sell best for?

Dialpad Sell is best for teams that want AI transcription and coaching in a phone system rather than a dedicated dialer. It is a poor fit for high-volume outbound, where the power dialer is not the point of the product.

Our verdict

Verified 2026-09-17

Dialpad Sell is the sales tier of Dialpad's AI communications platform. Dialpad publishes no per-seat price for it. Third-party pricing guides updated in August 2026 list Essentials at $39, Advanced at $95 and Premium at $150 per user per month on annual billing, with the power dialer and call campaigns arriving on Advanced, and those three figures have not been confirmed against a Dialpad page since. Dialpad's own AI transcription and real-time assist cards are the best-developed of any tool at this price. Dialpad Sell rates 4.2 on Capterra across 562 reviews.

Where it wins: For a sales team where call quality analysis matters more than dial count, Dialpad's transcription and coaching are better than most dedicated dialers deliver at twice the price.

The cheaper comparison: Five seats on Dialpad Sell costs $5,700 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

Real-time transcription and Ai Recaps are best in class
Real-Time Assist cards surface battle cards during the call
AI scorecards for coaching without a separate conversation intelligence purchase

Cons

The power dialer needs the $95 Advanced tier and is basic at that price
Dialpad publishes no per-seat price anywhere: the pricing page sells AI agents on conversation-based pricing
4.2 on Capterra with connectivity and dialer issues the leading complaints
No parallel dialing at any tier

The cheapest way to test this category, by the numbers

Comparing Dialpad Sell 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 Dialpad Sell loses

Loses to JustCall Pro Plus for outbound: both offer AI notes at $89 to $95, but JustCall's dialer and SMS are stronger and Dialpad has no parallel dialing at any tier.

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

Dialpad Sell is an AI communications platform that happens to include a power dialer, and the AI is the reason to buy it.

Third-party pricing guides updated in August 2026 list Essentials at $39, Advanced at $95 and Premium at $150 per user per month on annual billing. Dialpad publishes none of those figures itself. Read on 2026-09-17, dialpad.com/sell redirects to a product page carrying no price and a Talk to sales button, and dialpad.com/pricing has been rebuilt around Dialpad AI Agents sold on conversation-based pricing, with no per-seat figure for any plan. The power dialer and call campaigns arrive on Advanced at $95, on the August figures, which nobody has been able to check against Dialpad since.

The transcription is the product

Dialpad's real-time transcription is the best in this comparison, including against tools that cost three times as much. It is accurate, it is real time rather than near-real-time, and the Ai Recaps that follow a call are usable without editing.

Real-Time Assist cards are the feature that follows from that. When a prospect says a trigger phrase, the relevant battle card appears on the rep's screen mid-sentence. For a team with a complex product and new reps, that is worth more than a faster dialer.

AI scorecards give you coaching analytics without buying a separate conversation intelligence product, which at Gong or Chorus prices is a meaningful saving.

The dialer is not the product

The power dialer on Advanced is basic. Single line, no dispositions worth the name, no parallel dialing at any tier. A rep dialing 200 numbers a day will find it slower than a purpose-built power dialer, and at $95 a seat that is a hard trade.

Dialpad Sell rates 4.2 on Capterra across 562 reviews, with connectivity issues, dialer issues and delayed support the leading complaint themes. The connectivity complaints are the ones to test during a trial.

The comparison

Against Aircall, Dialpad wins on AI and loses on integration count.

Against JustCall Pro Plus at $89, which also has an AI notetaker and agent assist, Dialpad's transcription is better and JustCall's dialer and SMS are better. That is a genuine coin flip and most teams should trial both.

Against a dedicated dialer, the framing is straightforward: Dialpad is what you buy when call quality analysis matters more than call quantity. If the constraint on your revenue is that reps say the wrong thing, Dialpad helps. If the constraint is that reps do not make enough calls, buy a power dialer and spend the difference on a recording tool.
