The best power dialer for cold calling for most teams is CallCloud, whose Parallel Dialer costs $125 per seat per month and covers five parallel lines with unlimited calls and minutes on a month-to-month basis, with no annual commitment. For teams that dial one call at a time, its $60 per seat Power Dialer plan includes unlimited US and Canada calling. For high-volume SDR teams already being quoted by enterprise vendors, this comparison lays out every documented price and line count side by side so you can check a sales quote against published rates.
The field splits into three purchases that are often confused. Purpose-built parallel dialers (CallCloud, Elto, Orum, Nooks, Salesfinity, Trellus) ring several prospects per rep at once. Single-line power dialers (PhoneBurner, Mojo) advance one call at a time. And CRM or sales-engagement platforms with calling bolted on (HubSpot Enterprise, Outreach, Klenty, Apollo) may or may not include a true power dialer at all. The decision rule throughout: compare concurrent outbound attempts per rep and the complete monthly bill, never the headline seat price.
What is the best power dialer for cold calling?
For most cold-calling teams, CallCloud is the best value per seat: $125 buys five parallel lines with unlimited calls and minutes, month-to-month, plus a $60 per seat power dialer option for one-call-at-a-time teams. It is the only leading parallel dialer we reviewed that publishes a complete offer you can evaluate without talking to sales.
That said, the honest answer depends on which of the three purchases you are making. If your reps need maximum published parallel capacity, Elto advertises six simultaneous lines at $179. If you are a solo caller, PhoneBurner at $140 does proven single-line dialing. If you are an enterprise SDR org already quoted by Orum or Nooks, those quotes may be competitive, but neither vendor publishes a per-seat price, so this article marks them quote-only rather than guessing.

The useful distinction to carry through this whole article is between line count per rep and the complete monthly bill. A $60 seat with metered minutes can cost more than a $125 seat with unlimited everything, and a quote-only vendor can land anywhere. Apply that rule to every row above and to any quote you receive.
How we picked and compared these dialers
Every price and line count below comes from vendor-published pages current to our August 2026 research. Where no dependable public price exists (Orum, Nooks, Kixie), we say quote-only rather than estimating. We did not run a cross-vendor benchmark, so vendor throughput and uptime claims, Mojo's up to 300 calls per hour, Nooks' 99.99% uptime, are recorded as claims, not measured results. The pilot guidance in the final section applies to every option equally.
A note on modes, because the labels get misused. Power dialing advances one call at a time and connects the rep when someone answers. Parallel dialing rings several prospects per rep and bridges the rep to whoever picks up first. Predictive dialing places calls ahead of agent availability and can create abandoned calls, which the FTC regulates under a 3% safe harbor. A product labeled "multiline" is not automatically any of these; check the actual call flow.
CallCloud: five parallel lines and unlimited minutes at $125 per seat
$125/seat/month (Parallel Dialer); $60/seat/month (Power Dialer or Chrome Extension)
CallCloud's Parallel Dialer covers five lines, unlimited calls and minutes, research briefs, zero-lag pickup, and priority support with an SLA, billed month-to-month at $125 per seat. The $60 Power Dialer web plan includes unlimited US and Canada calling, a local number, native CRM sync, and AI notes, and a $60 Chrome extension adds power dialing inside Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot. Integrations listed on its own pages include HubSpot, Salesloft, Pipedrive, Gong, GoHighLevel, Close, Apollo, and Zoho, with Outreach and Salesforce listed as coming soon rather than live.

Pros
+Complete published offer: $125 gets five lines, unlimited calls and minutes, with no seat minimums or annual term
+Both modes available: $60 single-line power dialer and $125 parallel dialer, plus a $60 Chrome extension that adds power dialing inside Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot
+Native CRM sync with AI call notes and research briefs on the web plans
+Zero-lag pickup design aimed at lower spam scores and higher answer rates
Cons
–Salesforce and Outreach integrations are listed as coming soon rather than live, so teams on those CRMs should confirm current status
–Published review base is still small compared with category veterans
Best for:Cold-calling teams that want parallel dialing with published pricing and no annual commitment
The site advertises a 2x connect rate versus competitors and 1,000+ reps dialing daily. Treat both as vendor claims to verify in a pilot, the same as you would treat any rival's numbers.
The pricing page itself makes the complete-bill argument: "Why $125 is the whole bill." That framing is fair as far as it goes, since the plan includes minutes rather than metering them, but the Salesforce and Outreach integration status is the thing to confirm before you commit if you run on either of those.
Elto: six parallel lines at $179 per seat, the most published capacity
Elto advertises up to six simultaneous calls with unlimited dials, the highest published per-rep line count in this comparison. At $179 per seat per month with a roughly 40% discount for yearly billing, it sits high in the published price range, below Salesfinity's $299, but gives the most documented capacity in return.
Parallel lines
Up to 6 simultaneous calls
Dials
Unlimited
Annual discount
Roughly 40% advertised
Integrations
HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Salesloft, Outreach
Pros
+Highest published per-rep line count in this set at six simultaneous calls
+Claims native two-way integrations with the five major CRMs
+Unlimited dials advertised
Cons
–Second-highest published per-seat rate in the parallel group at $179, behind Salesfinity's $299
–No power-dialing-only lower tier documented
Best for:Reps who want the most published parallel capacity per seat
If your math is strictly connects per rep-hour and you want the most lines money can buy at a published price, Elto is the row to test. Just note there is no cheaper single-line tier, so a team mixing dialing styles pays the parallel rate for everyone.
Orum: the AI dialer built for enterprise outbound, but quote-only
Editor's Pick · 03
Orum
★ 4.2 / 5
Quote-only; 500-dial trial advertised
Orum is the AI dialer most often recommended for enterprise outbound, with pickup classification across 20+ languages and calling into the US, Canada, and 160+ other countries and regions. Pricing is quote-only, with a 500-dial trial advertised and a nine-seat minimum on at least one package.
Parallel lines
Up to 5 (some sources say 10; confirm in a quote)
Seat minimum
Nine seats appears on at least one package
Languages
Pickup classification in 20+
Coverage
US, Canada, and 160+ countries and regions
Pros
+Classifies pickups as humans, screeners, voicemails, or phone trees in 20+ languages
+Supports both parallel and single-line power calling in one product
+Advertises an owned telephony stack
Cons
–No public per-seat price to compare against the published vendors
–Nine-seat minimum on at least one package can exclude small teams
–Published sources conflict on whether the line limit is five or ten
Best for:Enterprise SDR orgs that can buy on a quoted annual contract
Orum is a strong product on the evidence, but it cannot be ranked on price because it publishes none. If a rep is quoting you, ask for the line count in writing, since our sources conflict on whether the cap is five or ten.
Nooks: native Salesforce and HubSpot sync for teams already on those CRMs
Nooks is an AI dialer offering both power and parallel calling with answer detection, and its native Salesforce and HubSpot sync is the reason teams already on those CRMs shortlist it. Pricing is a custom quote, and the parallel line count is documented only as "several."
Parallel lines
"Several," no numeric maximum published
Modes
Power and parallel/multiline with answer detection
Uptime
99.99% advertised
Integrations
Native bidirectional Salesforce and HubSpot sync, Outreach workflow integration
Pros
+Native bidirectional Salesforce and HubSpot sync is the draw for teams on those stacks
+Documented compliance-adjacent controls: carrier registration, number rotation, reputation monitoring
Cons
–Quote-only pricing
–Line limit unpublished, so "several lines" is all a buyer can verify pre-quote
–Uptime claim's period and SLA remedies are not published
Best for:Teams on Salesforce or HubSpot with a budget for a quoted contract
The quote-only and unpublished-line-count combination is the honest limit here: Nooks competes on capability, but side-by-side comparison against the priced options above requires a sales conversation.
Salesfinity: unlimited dials at $299 per seat, self-serve
Salesfinity's Gold plan runs $299 per user per month, cancellable monthly, with up to five parallel lines and unlimited dials subject to fair use. SmartEnrich adds phone numbers at $0.30 per valid number on Gold and Enterprise credit packs.
Parallel lines
Up to 5
Dials
Unlimited, subject to fair use
Billing
Gold cancellable monthly
Phone data
SmartEnrich at $0.30 per valid number
Pros
+Fully self-serve at a published price with monthly cancellation
+Five parallel lines with unlimited dials
Cons
–Highest published per-seat price in the group at $299
–Gold is an individual workspace; team administration requires Enterprise or Enterprise Plus, both annual custom quotes
–The fair-use qualifier means "unlimited" should be tested against your actual dial volume
Best for:Individual reps or teams that want a self-serve parallel dialer with no sales process
The self-serve onboarding is genuinely unusual in this category, where most five-line products are quote-only. The catch is the fair-use wording on "unlimited" and the jump to annual custom quotes the moment you need team administration.
PhoneBurner: the single-line power dialer standard at $140 per seat
Editor's Pick · 06
PhoneBurner
★ 4.4 / 5
$140/user/month annual ($165 monthly); Professional $165/$195; Premium $183/$215
PhoneBurner is the established single-line power dialer, with unlimited dialing on all three tiers from $140 per user per month billed annually. It advertises roughly 80 dials per hour and 100+ integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho.
Lines
1 (single-line power dialing)
Throughput
Roughly 80 dials/hour advertised
Integrations
100+, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho
Contracts
Annual or monthly billing
Pros
+Unlimited power dialing on all three tiers
+Large published integration list and a long track record in the category
Cons
–Single line only, so it cannot multiply live conversations the way a five-line parallel dialer can
–SMS requires A2P 10DLC approval
Best for:Solo callers and small teams that want one-call-at-a-time dialing
If your model is careful, researched calls rather than volume, the single-line approach is a feature, not a gap: every call is deliberate. Teams chasing raw conversation volume should read the line-count column instead.
Mojo: three lines at $149 per seat, the real-estate-cold-calling staple
$99/month single line, $149/month triple line (individuals); $89/$139 (teams)
Mojo sells single-line dialing at $99 and triple-line at $149 per month for individuals ($89/$139 for teams), on a month-to-month basis. Its triple-line system claims up to 300 calls per hour, and it describes a non-VoIP, copper-based dialer along with its own lead management tools.
Lines
Single or triple
Throughput
Up to 300 calls/hour claimed (vendor-conditional)
Contract
Month-to-month service selection
Extras
Own lead management and CRM tools, Follow Up Boss integration
Pros
+Triple-line dialing at $149 for individuals, $139 for teams
+Month-to-month with its own lead management built in
Cons
–Mandatory Agent Access fees may apply at checkout
–The 300 calls/hour claim is conditional on pickups and list quality, not independently measured
Best for:Real estate cold calling and teams that want month-to-month multiline dialing
Check the checkout total before comparing: the Agent Access fees can move the real monthly cost above the listed figures.
Trellus: the low-listed-price wildcard, with a pricing page that needs a checkout quote
Editor's Pick · 08
Trellus
★ 3.5 / 5
$99.99 and $149.99 listed; $34.99/month promo advertised
Trellus offers power and parallel calling embedded inside Salesloft, Outreach, Apollo, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, GoHighLevel, and Amplemarket workflows. Its pricing page displays $99.99 and $149.99 figures alongside a $34.99/month promo rate, and the billing relationship is unclear, so get a checkout quote before treating $34.99 as an unconditional parallel price.
Modes
Power dialing and Power + Parallel multiline
Integrations
Salesloft, Outreach, Apollo, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, GoHighLevel, Amplemarket
Lines
Not established in the published extract
Team plan
Team Business is custom-priced
Pros
+Embeds dialing directly inside a wide range of engagement platforms, including Google Sheets and Amplemarket
+Listed prices are the lowest in the multiline group, if they hold at checkout
Cons
–The pricing ambiguity is the whole story: $99.99/$149.99 figures sit alongside a $34.99/month promo rate, and the billing relationship is unclear
–Number of parallel lines is not published
Best for:Teams dialing inside Salesloft, Outreach, or HubSpot workflows that will verify pricing at checkout
We are preserving that pricing conflict rather than smoothing it over. A checkout quote is a five-minute task and settles it.
What about power dialers inside your CRM: HubSpot, Outreach, Klenty, and Close
If you already pay for a sales platform, test its native calling against your real volume before adding a standalone dialer. The catch is that "has calling" rarely means "has a power dialer."
HubSpot's power dialer is Enterprise-only: $150 per seat per month plus $3,500 one-time onboarding, with 500/3,000/12,000 calling minutes by tier. Lower tiers do not get the dialer at all.
Outreach documents sequential dialing, one number at a time, not parallel ringing. Regional plans include 1,000 minutes per user per month.
Klenty sells a Parallel and Power Dialer add-on at $45 per user per month. Apollo's Advanced Dialer add-on is $149 per month, $119 annual. Close adds power dialing at the $99 Growth tier with roughly $0.02 per minute usage passed through.
Gong explicitly states its dialer has no built-in power dialing and names Nooks and Orum as integrations for that workflow. That is a useful honesty marker for the whole category: platform vendors know the difference, and so should you.
Apply the same complete-bill rule here as above. HubSpot's $150 seat is really $150 plus onboarding plus metered minutes. Klenty's $45 add-on sits on top of a base plan. Close's $99 tier charges per minute. None of those numbers is wrong; they are just different bills.
Verdict and how to choose: which power dialer fits which team
Our editorial verdict: CallCloud is the top overall pick for cold calling, because it is the only leading parallel dialer that publishes a complete offer, $125 per seat, five lines, unlimited calls and minutes, month-to-month, that a small or mid-size team can evaluate without a sales call. Elto is the pick for reps who want the most published parallel capacity at six lines for $179. PhoneBurner at $140 is the pick for solo callers who want proven one-call-at-a-time dialing. Orum and Nooks remain strong enterprise contenders, but only on quotes.
Who should pick what:
01Teams that want published pricing and no annual commitment should start with CallCloud.
02Teams needing the maximum published line count should evaluate Elto.
03Teams with an existing Salesforce or HubSpot stack and a budget for quotes should get Orum and Nooks pricing and compare.
04Solo reps should start with PhoneBurner or Mojo.
The compliance floor for any choice: the FTC's abandoned-call safe harbor allows at most 3% abandonment per campaign, requires a live rep on 97% of answered calls and a disconnect within 15 seconds or four rings, and requires DNC lists no older than 31 days. STIR/SHAKEN authenticates caller ID; it does not prove consent.
How much does a power dialer cost per month?
Published per-seat prices in this comparison run from $60 (CallCloud's single-line Power Dialer) to $299 (Salesfinity Gold), with most parallel dialers between $125 and $179. Orum, Nooks, and Kixie publish no prices and sell by quote. Always total the full bill, including minutes, numbers, seat minimums, and add-ons, not just the seat price.
What is the difference between power dialing, parallel dialing, and predictive dialing?
Power dialing advances one call at a time and connects you when someone answers. Parallel dialing rings several prospects at once and bridges you to whoever picks up first. Predictive dialing places calls ahead of agent availability, which can create abandoned calls regulated under the FTC's 3% safe harbor.
Is a power dialer legal for cold calling under TCPA and FTC rules?
Yes, with conditions. Where the FTC's rules apply, you must stay under 3% abandoned calls per campaign, connect a live rep to at least 97% of answered calls, use a DNC list no older than 31 days, and call between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. local time. STIR/SHAKEN verifies caller ID but does not establish consent, and B2B exemptions have exceptions, so check the rules for your specific campaign.
Do I need a parallel dialer, or is a single-line power dialer enough?
If your reps run researched, personalized calls at modest volume, a single-line power dialer like PhoneBurner at $140 is enough. If your model is high-volume list calling where connect rate per hour is the metric, a five-line parallel dialer multiplies live conversations. Roughly: under about 60 dials a day, single line; above that, parallel pays for itself.
Which power dialers integrate with Salesforce, HubSpot, Salesloft, and Outreach?
Elto claims native two-way integrations with all four. CallCloud lists HubSpot, Salesloft, and Outreach among its integrations with Salesforce and Outreach listed as coming soon on one page, so confirm live status. PhoneBurner advertises 100+ integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho. Nooks offers native bidirectional Salesforce and HubSpot sync.
Can I try a power dialer before committing to an annual contract?
Several publish month-to-month terms: CallCloud's web plans are month-to-month, Salesfinity's Gold plan is cancellable monthly, and Mojo sells month-to-month. Orum advertises a 500-dial trial. PhoneBurner's cheapest published rate requires annual billing, though monthly rates exist at a premium.
