Our pick for one rep to a handful
$150
Five at a Time
A seat a month, 2,500 minutes in it, up to 5 lines. One seat is enough, nothing is signed for a year, and the trial is 10 conversations or 24 hours. Leads come in by CSV. There is no CRM sync.
Nooks alternatives, sorted by who each one is for
Our pick for one rep to a handful who want to start today is Five at a Time: $150 a seat a month, one seat minimum, month to month, with a free trial. We make it, so weigh that. The other 9 are below, each with the buyer it suits better than us.
Our pick for a small business on a budget
$29
DialSheet
A seat a month with parallel dialing on 2 to 5 lines[10], and free for one person without it. It runs on your own Twilio account, so Twilio bills you for the calls and the setup is yours.
Why teams look past Nooks
Four things, all from Nooks' own pages. None of them is a complaint about the product. They decide who can buy it.
No price on the page
The pricing page shows no numbers. You get a custom quote.[1]
2 seats or more
Nooks’ own blog states a minimum of 2 seats, which rules out a rep buying alone.[2]
A demo before you can buy
Demo and custom quote. No self-serve sign-up or free trial on the site.[3]
CSV dialing has limits
Possible, but an admin or Nooks has to enable it, uploads are capped at 2,000 records, and results do not sync back.[4]
If none of those four is a problem for you, Nooks may be the right answer. It connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo[5] and we connect to none of them.
All 10, with the three questions that thin the list

Prices and terms as each vendor listed them on the dates in the sources below. “Not stated” means we did not find it on the page we read, so the filter treats it as a no.
The real entry cost: price, times the minimum, times twelve
A seat price means little until you multiply it by the fewest seats the vendor will sell and the months you sign for.
| Dialer | Listed price, per seat a month | Fewest seats | Twelve months, smallest team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Five at a Time | $150 | 1 | $1,800Only if you stay. The commitment is one month: $150. |
| DialSheet | $29[10] | 1 | $348Plus what Twilio bills you for the calls. |
| Trellus | $149.99[11] | 1 | $1,799.88 |
| Salesfinity | $299[12] | 1 | $3,588 |

| Nooks, for reference | No price published[1] | 2[2] | Quote only |
Computed only where a vendor lists a dollar price per seat. Usage past a plan’s included minutes is not in these figures, ours included. Vendr reports a median Nooks contract of $30,105 a year across 59 purchases[6]: buyer-reported, and Vendr calls its ranges indicative. More on what Nooks costs.
Where the others beat us, and why you might pick us anyway
Trellus lists $149.99 a seat a month for power and parallel dialing. No free trial listed. About 2,000 US minutes a seat a week.[11] That is nearly our seat price with far more minutes. Our seat includes 2,500 a month and charges 5 cents for each one after. If you dial enough to run past that every month, Trellus is the better deal on minutes.
CallCloud and Salesfinity sell flat prices. CallCloud lists $125 a seat a month for parallel on 5 lines[13], which is less than we charge. Salesfinity lists $299 a seat month to month, $249 on an annual plan (Gold)[12]. A flat price is easier to budget than a meter. What a parallel dialer costs works through when each one wins.
The reasons to pick Five at a Time anyway are narrower than a price. You can try it free before any money moves. Each business gets its own five local numbers, picked from the area codes its lead list has most of. They are never shared with another business. When calling is paused, the screen says why and when it resumes. And the coaching, recordings and transcripts come in the seat instead of as add-ons. We have not tested the other dialers’ call quality, so this page says nothing about it.
Questions about leaving Nooks
What is the best Nooks alternative for a small team?
Our pick is Five at a Time, which we make: $150 a seat a month, one seat minimum, month to month, with a free trial of 10 conversations or 24 hours. If the lowest bill matters most, DialSheet, which we also make, is free for one person and $29 a seat a month with parallel dialing on your own Twilio account.
Is there a free alternative to Nooks?
DialSheet has a free plan for one person: 500 calls a month and 500 leads on your own Twilio account, so Twilio still bills you for the calls. Its parallel dialing is on the $29 plan. We make DialSheet.
Does Nooks have a seat minimum?
Nooks' own blog says there is a minimum of 2 seats. Nooks does not publish a price, and you buy through a demo and a custom quote.
How much does Nooks cost?
Nooks publishes no price. Vendr, which collects buyer-reported contracts, reports a median Nooks contract of $30,105 a year across 59 purchases, with a range from $7,674 to $150,897. Those are reported figures, not Nooks' price list.
Which Nooks alternatives put a price on the page?
Of the 10 on this page: Five at a Time, DialSheet, Trellus, Salesfinity, CallCloud, Apollo, CloudTalk. Apollo's and CloudTalk's prices are add-ons to another plan. The rest sell by quote or do not list plan prices.
Can I dial from a CSV instead of a CRM?
Five at a Time takes leads by CSV only and has no CRM sync. On Nooks, CSV dialing works like this, per its help centre: possible, but an admin or Nooks has to enable it, uploads are capped at 2,000 records, and results do not sync back.
When should I stay with Nooks?
When you have 2 or more reps working out of Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft or Apollo and want calls written back there, or you want a virtual sales floor. Five at a Time has neither.
