Top Aircall Alternatives in 2026

Nooks is the most complete answer to what SDR teams actually do all day: dial, get filtered past voicemail, and get coached on the calls that connect. It bundles an AI parallel dialer, AI sequencing across calls, email, and LinkedIn, and AI coaching and scoring into one workspace, so managers don't need a separate call-review tool. G2 backs that up with 4.8 stars across more than 1,300 reviews, the strongest review signal of any tool in this cluster. The catch is price. Nooks never publishes a number, and buyer data from real deals puts it around $65-150+ per seat per month, roughly $780-$1,800+ per seat per year on an annual contract. Budget for a sales call before you assume this is cheaper than Aircall.

Salesfinity is the rare parallel dialer that puts real prices on its website. Silver runs $200 per seat per month for a single-line power dialer, and Gold, the tier most teams actually need for true parallel dialing across up to 5 lines, is $299. That transparency matters if Aircall's stack of hidden add-on fees is part of why you're leaving. Beyond dialing, Salesfinity bundles in-dialer sequence management on every plan and SmartGenie AI research on Gold, plus waterfall data enrichment and a live Salesfloor view on Enterprise. The tradeoff is call quality: dropped audio and connection issues show up repeatedly in buyer reviews for a tool whose entire job is placing calls, and the jump from Silver to Gold catches some buyers off guard.

Orum built its name on parallel dialing done well. It calls several numbers at once, uses AI to detect voicemail and screeners across 20+ languages, and bridges only the live human to the rep. Its SoftwareReviews profile backs that up with a 7.9/10 composite score and 95% likeliness to recommend, driven specifically by reliability and time saved on the dialing task, a narrower but relevant signal than Nooks' broader G2 score. It plugs into Salesforce, Outreach, Salesloft, Gong Engage, and Apollo rather than replacing them, and adds a live audio Salesfloor plus AI call scoring and roleplay. The cost of that reputation is real. Orum posts no prices at all, buyer reports put Launch around $250 per seat per month and Ascend at $400-800, and every plan locks into a 12-month contract with a 3-seat minimum.

PhoneBurner is the straightforward option: unlimited calling on every tier, no per-minute math, and a built-in CRM so you aren't required to run a separate sync layer. Standard covers the core dialer at $140 per seat per month billed annually, Professional adds a softphone and live coaching at $165, and Premium adds inbound numbers, AI transcription, and SMS at $183. It's a single-line power dialer, not a parallel dialer, so it won't push connect rates the way Orum, Nooks, or Salesfinity's Gold tier can. What it offers instead is predictability: published prices, a CRM you don't have to buy separately, and live monitoring for managers on Professional and up, all without a sales call to find any of it out.

Trellus has the lowest headline price in this list, but not the lowest commitment. Power starts at $34.99 per seat per month billed annually, close to Aircall's own entry price, and Parallel, at $149.99 per seat per month billed monthly, adds multi-line parallel dialing, unlimited AI practice calls, and 8 extra phone numbers on top of Power. Real-time in-call coaching isn't part of either self-serve tier. Trellus's own tier breakdown lists it only under Business, the quote-only plan, so a buyer who wants live coaching prompts during calls needs a sales conversation, not just a Parallel signup. Trellus's own annual-billing toggle also shows that same $34.99 rate for Parallel as for Power, which the pricing page itself appears to mislabel rather than a real annual rate, so treat Parallel's true annual-billed price as unconfirmed until Trellus fixes that. And the low sticker price isn't a low-commitment one: Trellus's terms of service set a 12-month initial term that auto-renews for further 12-month periods, require 30 days' written notice to stop the renewal, and state orders are non-cancelable and non-refundable, a stricter lock-in than the annual contracts this cluster calls out on Nooks and Orum. It plugs into more than 30 dialers and sales engagement platforms, including Salesloft, Outreach, HubSpot, and Apollo. The tradeoff is scope. Trellus has no email sequencing or meeting scheduling of its own, a Product Hunt reviewer says non-enterprise integration requests get deprioritized despite the free-build promise, and it works best for a team that keeps a CRM or SEP underneath it rather than one looking for a single phone system to replace Aircall outright.
