Where Readymode loses
Loses for B2B sales teams to any power dialer: predictive pacing carries the TCPA three percent abandonment cap and a connect delay, for a job where a $29 to $49 power dialer produces better conversations.
Every review on this site carries this section. The aggregate is on where DialSheet loses.
Full review
Readymode is a call centre product, and reading it as a sales dialer is the most common mistake buyers make with it.
Readymode withdrew its published pricing in October 2026; the page now carries an enquiry form, so the figures below are the last list price it published rather than a quote you can rely on today. Pricing was $199 per licence per month for one to four licences and $249 for five or more, with 30 and 75 DIDs included per licence respectively. Outbound minutes are free under a fair use policy; inbound is $0.02 a minute. Annual contracts are required and monthly billing adds roughly 20 percent.
What you are buying
Genuine predictive dialing, with pacing algorithms that place more calls than there are agents and connect whoever answers to whoever is free. Up to 20-plus concurrent calls per agent. That is a category no power dialer competes in, and it produces agent talk-time utilisation that sequential dialing cannot approach.
The DIDs are the underrated part. Predictive dialing burns number reputation fast, and 30 to 75 numbers per licence is what rotation actually requires. The iQ tier adds Autopilot DID rotation and caller ID reputation monitoring, which is the correct engineering answer to the spam-flag problem rather than a marketing claim about it.
The built-in CRM is designed for a supervised call floor with queues, scripts and dispositions.
The compliance line buyers must not cross
Predictive dialing in the US falls under the TCPA's three percent call abandonment cap, and the abandonment that predictive pacing produces is exactly what that rule regulates. Statutory damages are $500 per call, trebled to $1,500 for willful violations, with no cap, and roughly 80 percent of TCPA suits are class actions.
Predictive dialers have their place. B2B sales teams, who gain nothing from predictive pacing, should stay away from them. If your reps are having consultative conversations rather than working a queue, predictive dialing adds legal exposure and subtracts conversation quality.
The recurring complaint
Capterra reviewers consistently report numbers being flagged as Spam Likely. That is predictive dialing's inherent cost: carrier analytics engines from Hiya, TNS and First Orion score short-duration and abandoned calls as robocall behaviour, and predictive pacing generates both by design. Readymode's DID rotation mitigates it. Nothing eliminates it.
Who should buy it
Actual outbound call centres with supervisors, queues and a compliance function. At $199 to $249 a licence with DIDs and outbound minutes included, it is fairly priced for that job.
B2B sales teams should not be in this category at all. A power dialer produces fewer dials and better conversations, carries none of the abandonment exposure, and costs a tenth as much.

Readymode FAQ
- How much does Readymode cost?
- Readymode no longer publishes a price. Its pricing page carried Starter at $199 per licence per month billed annually and iQ at $249, pitched at five or more licences, with 30 and 75 DIDs included per licence respectively, and $239 and $299 billed month to month; those figures were on the page on 5 October 2026 and were gone by 12 October 2026, replaced by an enquiry form. Treat them as the last published list price and expect a quote. Outbound minutes are free under a fair use policy and inbound is $0.02 a minute.
- Should a B2B sales team use a predictive dialer?
- Generally no. Predictive dialing in the US falls under the TCPA's three percent call abandonment cap, with statutory damages of $500 per call trebled to $1,500 for willful violations and no cap, and roughly 80 percent of TCPA suits are class actions. Predictive pacing also introduces the connect delay that damages consultative conversations. B2B teams should use a power dialer, which carries neither the abandonment exposure nor the delay.
- Does Readymode have a free plan?
- No. Readymode has neither a free plan nor a publicly advertised free trial.
- Can you bring your own Twilio account to Readymode?
- No. Readymode 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 Readymode best for?
- Readymode is best for outbound call centres running predictive dialing at scale. It is a poor fit for B2B sales teams, where predictive dialing damages the conversation and raises compliance risk.
Changelog (7 entries, last 2026-10-12)
- · Scheduled price check. Readymode has withdrawn its published pricing. readymode.com/demo/pricing-readymode/, the page every Pricing and Buy Now link on the site points at, now renders a Plans and Pricing heading, a Let us talk pricing button, a Book Demo button and the line Save 20% when you sign up for an annual plan, and nothing else. The two tier cards, the quote-only 20+ licence card, the Monthly and Annual toggle and all four figures are gone; the rendered page contains no dollar sign at all, and the digits 199 and 249 survive in the HTML only as Elementor CSS class names and SVG dimensions. The old www.readymode.com/pricing still redirects to the TEST PAGE, which also renders nothing. pricingTransparency moves from published to removed_during_2026, the same state Kixie and Dialpad are in, and the 2026-09-17 Dialpad precedent is followed: the $199, $249, $239 and $299 figures stay as the last published vendor prices, now labelled as such on both tiers and in the summary, rather than being deleted. entryUsd and dialerEntryUsd stay at 199 for the same reason, so no ranking input moved and no sub-score was touched. verifiedAt deliberately NOT re-dated: 2026-10-05 is the last date any figure here could be read from the vendor. (Scheduled price check (Claude, run by the publisher); human review pending)
- · Fact patrol, rotation slot 12. Annual prices unchanged at $199 Starter and $249 iQ. Two corrections: Readymode now publishes month-to-month billing at $239 and $299 a licence on readymode.com/demo/pricing-readymode/, so annualContractRequired is now false and the con, gotcha and summary that called the annual contract mandatory were reworded; and Starter now reads For 1+ licenses where it read 1 to 4. Scores unchanged. (Daily fact patrol (Claude, run by the publisher); human review pending)
- · Scheduled price check, later the same day. No price moved against the morning read: $199 and $249 annual, $239 and $299 monthly, 30 and 75 DIDs, and the phone number activation fee still reads Waived on both tiers. Three additions. A third quote-only card headed Looking for 20+ Licenses? is on the page and was not recorded. The annual terms are now recorded as gotchas: paid upfront for a 12-month term with automatic renewal, licence fees only with overages, taxes, regulatory fees and phone number fees billed separately, sales-sold annual plans payable in full by wire transfer, and mid-term licence reductions deferred to renewal. And pricingSource was repointed from www.readymode.com/pricing, which redirects to a page titled TEST PAGE that now renders no prices and links Buy Now to a Chargify sandbox, to readymode.com/demo/pricing-readymode/, which carries the figures and links to production checkout. Q17 updated rather than closed. No price, score or ranking input moved. (Scheduled price check (Claude, run by the publisher); human review pending)
- · Fact patrol, rotation slot 12. Both licence prices confirmed unchanged again: Starter $199 per licence per month for 1 to 4 licences, iQ $249 for 5 or more, 30 and 75 DIDs included respectively. The redirect to the demo/pricing-maxio-test/ staging URL still stands, three checks running. Verification date bumped to today to match how every other vendor in the rotation records a clean check; the two 2026-09-07 and 2026-09-04 entries had left it unbumped, which was an inconsistency rather than a deliberate rule. (Daily fact patrol (Claude, run by the publisher); human review pending)
- · Quarterly price check, answering the re-verify request left on the verification note. www.readymode.com/pricing still redirects to readymode.com/demo/pricing-maxio-test/, which still carries a TEST PAGE header. Both licence prices on that page read unchanged: Starter $199 USD per licence per month for 1 to 4 licences, iQ $249 USD per licence per month for 5 or more, outbound minutes free under fair use, inbound $0.02 a minute. No price moved, so the verification date is unchanged and the staging-page caveat stays. (Quarterly price check (Claude, run by the publisher); human review pending)
- · Total score is now computed from the five rubric sub-scores (was hand-typed 3.5; rubric gives 3.6). Sub-scores unchanged and awaiting named-human review. (Automated web-research pass (Claude, run by the publisher); human review pending)
- · Initial entry from a web-research pass against the vendor pricing page and dated third-party guides. (Automated web-research pass (Claude, run by the publisher); human review pending)
