Our Top Picks
An AI power dialer calls through a list one number at a time, or several at once, and uses AI for the jobs around the call: detecting voicemail or a live answer, writing the summary and notes, prompting the rep mid-call and choosing who to call next. To dial inside a CRM, compare Close, HubSpot Sales Hub and Trellus. Dialers with their own workspace: Koncert, Nooks, Orum, PhoneBurner and Salesfinity. Phone systems with a power dialer: Aircall, Dialpad, JustCall and Kixie. Inside a sales engagement platform: Apollo and Salesloft.

Where the pricing page names power or parallel dialing in a plan, prices ran from $37 per user a month (JustCall Pro, billed annually at a Black Friday sale price) to $299 per license a month (Salesfinity, month to month).

What the AI in an AI dialer does
The AI does four jobs around the call; the rep still has the conversation. These are the vendors’ own descriptions, not test results.
Choosing who to call next
Nooks says it prioritizes the prospects most likely to answer. Orum says it surfaces the hottest leads first and picks the best number. Salesloft says AI prioritizes the most engaged contacts. PhoneBurner’s Connect Scores, Koncert’s Data Researcher add-on and Salesfinity score how likely a number is to be answered, and Trellus Hot Numbers (beta) orders eligible lists by estimated pickup likelihood.
Detecting a voicemail or a live answer
When a dialer calls several numbers at once, software decides whether a person or a recording answered before it connects the rep. Kixie calls this AI Human Voice Detection and Nooks AI Answer Detection. Orum says its AI identifies a human, screener, voicemail or phone tree. Koncert and Salesfinity describe the same job, and JustCall lists answering machine detection in predictive mode.
Prompting the rep during the call
Live prompts appear while the prospect is on the line. Aircall’s AI Assist Pro add-on lists live prompts and playbooks. Dialpad lists Live Coach, JustCall real-time agent assist, Nooks Live Battlecards and Salesfinity Live Assist. Salesloft describes real-time AI guidance, and Trellus live coaching is on the Business plan. For products that only coach, see AI sales coaching tools.
Writing the summary and logging the call
Thirteen of the 14 describe an AI summary or AI notes after the call; Kixie describes automatic CRM logging, with AI call analysis as an add-on. HubSpot calls its summaries editable, and Trellus has the rep review the summary before logging.
What features should an AI-powered sales dialer include
An AI-powered sales dialer should include these eight things.
- Dialing modes that fit the list. Apollo, Kixie, Koncert, Nooks, Orum and Trellus name both power and parallel dialing.
- Answer and voicemail detection if several lines dial at once. Kixie, Koncert, Nooks, Orum and Salesfinity describe it.
- Logging to the CRM. All 14 describe it. Ask which fields are written.
- An AI summary. At Aircall and PhoneBurner it is in a higher plan.
- Live coaching. Often an add-on or a higher plan: Aircall AI Assist Pro, Dialpad Advanced, JustCall Pro Plus, Salesfinity Enterprise, Trellus Business.
- Local or verified numbers. Apollo, Close, Dialpad, JustCall, Kixie, Koncert, Salesfinity and Salesloft describe local caller IDs.
- Spam label handling. JustCall, Kixie, Koncert, Nooks, Orum, PhoneBurner, Salesfinity and Trellus describe monitoring caller IDs for spam labels.
- Compliance controls. JustCall and PhoneBurner describe calling-hour or time zone limits, Kixie Do Not Call registry checks, and Trellus a default calling window of 8 AM to 6 PM in the prospect’s local time. The legal responsibility stays with your organization.
What AI power dialers cost
Published per-person prices on November 13, 2026, where the pricing page names power or parallel dialing in a plan:
- JustCall Pro: $37 per user billed annually at that day’s sale price, $69 monthly.
- Aircall Professional: $50 per license paid annually, $70 monthly.
- Dialpad Support Essentials: $89 per user on the annual view.
- Close Growth: $99 per user billed annually, $109 monthly, plus calling usage.
- Trellus Power: $99.99 per seat.
- PhoneBurner Standard: $140 per user billed annually, $165 monthly.
- Salesfinity Gold: $249 per license billed annually, $299 month to month.
Apollo Basic is $49 per seat a month billed annually, with power and parallel dialing in an add-on at $119 per team a month. HubSpot’s calling starts in Sales Hub Starter, from $7 per seat a month on the Pay Annually view, a new-customer discount from $20; Professional is from $90 plus a one-time $1,500 onboarding fee.
Apollo and HubSpot have free plans. Apollo, Close, HubSpot and JustCall offer 14-day trials, Kixie 7 days, and Orum a trial limited to 500 dials. Trellus has no free plan and no free trial. Kixie, Koncert, Nooks, Orum and Salesloft are quote-only, as is JustCall SalesPro.
The total depends on seats and minimums (nine seats at Orum, three users at Aircall, two licenses at JustCall), minutes (Close bills calling separately; Apollo’s US dialer uses 1 credit per 30 seconds), add-ons (Aircall AI Assist Pro is $49 per seat a month) and annual terms, which are cheaper per month at Aircall, Apollo, Close, JustCall, PhoneBurner and Salesfinity.
Power dialing versus parallel dialing
A power dialer calls one number at a time and starts the next call when the last one ends. It is used for callbacks, warm leads and researched accounts. See best power dialer software.
A parallel dialer calls several numbers at once and connects the rep to whoever answers. It is used for prepared prospecting lists where most calls go unanswered. Stated limits are 4 lines at Kixie and 5 at Koncert, Orum, Salesfinity and Trellus (on eligible plans). More in what a parallel dialer is.
Where Trellus fits
Trellus is a Chrome extension that adds power dialing, one number at a time, and parallel dialing, up to five lines on eligible plans, inside the CRM or sales engagement platform a team already uses. Reps start from their existing lists and task queues. The integrations directory lists 31 platforms; Trellus dials in 23, with power and parallel dialing in 22.
Hot Numbers (beta) orders eligible lists by estimated pickup likelihood. On eligible calls, Trellus plays a saved voicemail after the tone. After the call, AI fills in the result and a summary that the rep reviews before logging. Live call coaching, with a live transcript, the newest suggestion on top and pace and talk-time cues, is on the Business plan.
Power is $99.99 per seat per month, with about 1,300 US minutes per seat each week. Power + Parallel is $149.99, with about 2,000 US minutes and unlimited AI practice calls. Business is custom. There is no seat minimum, no free plan and no free trial. See Trellus pricing and the auto dialer page.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI dialer?
An AI dialer is calling software that places calls from a list and uses AI for the work around each call: sorting the list by who is likely to answer, telling a live answer from a voicemail, prompting the rep during the call, and writing the summary and logging it to the CRM.
What is the best AI dialer for B2B sales teams?
There is no single winner; it depends on where reps work. Inside a CRM: Close, HubSpot Sales Hub and Trellus. A separate workspace: Koncert, Nooks, Orum, PhoneBurner and Salesfinity. A phone system: Aircall, Dialpad, JustCall and Kixie. A sales engagement platform: Apollo and Salesloft.
What is the best power dialer for outbound sales teams?
The one that fits your list and your CRM. For one call at a time, Aircall, Close, Dialpad, HubSpot Sales Hub, JustCall and PhoneBurner name a power dialer. For power and parallel dialing in one product, compare Apollo, Kixie, Koncert, Nooks, Orum and Trellus.
What dialer software do most sales teams use?
Sales teams use four kinds: a dialer inside the CRM, one with its own workspace, a phone system with a power dialer, or the dialer in a sales engagement platform. Which products teams use most, or recommend, is not something a vendor page can establish; the table shows where each runs.
Which power dialers include live coaching?
These vendors’ pages describe AI guidance during the call: Aircall (AI Assist Pro add-on), Dialpad (Live Coach), JustCall (real-time agent assist), Nooks (Live Battlecards), Salesfinity (Live Assist, on Enterprise), Salesloft (real-time AI guidance) and Trellus (on the Business plan). Apollo’s dialer page also mentions real-time guidance.
Which AI dialers offer parallel dialing?
Apollo (in an add-on), Kixie (up to 4 lines), Koncert, Orum and Salesfinity (up to 5 lines), Trellus (up to five lines on eligible plans) and Nooks name parallel or multi-line dialing. Close and JustCall list a predictive dialer that calls several numbers at once.
What features should an AI-powered sales dialer include?
The dialing mode your list needs, answer and voicemail detection for parallel dialing, automatic CRM logging, an AI summary, live coaching, local or verified numbers, spam label monitoring and calling-hour controls. Ask each vendor which plan or add-on includes each one.
How much does an AI power dialer cost?
On November 13, 2026, where the pricing page names power or parallel dialing in a plan, prices ran from $37 per user a month (JustCall Pro, billed annually at a sale price) to $299 per license a month (Salesfinity, month to month). Five of the 14 publish no price.
