Orum alternatives for teams under 9 seats

Orum's pricing page sets a 9-seat minimum, billed annually. Five at a Time is $150 a seat a month with a one-seat minimum and no annual contract, so one rep can start today. We make it. The other options are below, grouped by how many reps you have.

With no list price, nobody outside a sales call can multiply it out. Vendr reports a median Orum contract of $24,000 a year across 93 purchases, and says: most buyers land between $100 and $200 a user a month.[4] That is buyer-reported data, which Vendr calls indicative. More on what Orum costs.

Who will sell to a team your size

Each band starts at the seat minimum the vendor's own site states. Drag to your headcount.

1 rep

At 1 rep, Five at a Time, DialSheet, Trellus, Salesfinity and CallCloud will sell to you. Nooks (minimum 2) and Orum (minimum 9) will not. Koncert, Kixie, Apollo and CloudTalk do not state a minimum on the pages we read.

A hatched band means the page we read gives no minimum, so ask before you plan around it. Minimums read on the dates in the sources below. Two of these are ours: Five at a Time and DialSheet.

The alternatives, by team size

One rep

Orum and Nooks are both out. Orum starts at 9 seats[1] and Nooks at 2[5]. These sell a single seat online. More for solo reps.

  • Five at a Time

    $150 a month, 2,500 minutes included

    Ours, and our pick here. You want the numbers, the carrier and the minutes handled, your leads are in a CSV, and you would like to try it free for 10 conversations or 24 hours first.

  • DialSheet

    Free without parallel dialing; $29 a month with it, plus Twilio’s charges[9]

    Also ours. The lowest bill matters more than setup time, and you are fine running your own Twilio account.

  • Trellus

    $149.99 a seat a month (Power + Parallel)[10]

    You burn far more minutes than our plan includes: Trellus lists about 2,000 US minutes a seat a week at nearly the same price.

  • CallCloud

    $125 a seat a month for parallel[12]

    Your only question is the lowest flat monthly price for five lines.

  • Salesfinity

    $299 a seat month to month, $249 on an annual plan (Gold)[11]

    You want a flat price with calling included under a fair-use policy and can pay about twice as much per seat.

2 to 8 reps

Everything in the one-rep list still sells to you. Nooks joins at 2 seats, and a few more are worth a look, each for one specific reason. Orum is still out.

  • Five at a Time

    $750 a month for five seats, sharing 12,500 minutes

    Ours. The team works from lists, not a CRM, and you want to add or drop a seat month by month.

  • Nooks

    No price published[6]. Minimum 2 seats[5]

    Your reps work out of Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft and Apollo[8] and you want the dialer to write back to it. You buy through a demo.

  • Apollo

    A $149 a month per-team add-on ($119 annual) on top of Apollo seats[15]

    Your leads and sequences already live in Apollo.

  • Kixie

    No price published[14]

    You want to try a dialer without putting a card down: its 7-day trial asks for none.

  • Koncert

    No price published[13]

    You would rather buy through a demo and a negotiated quote.

  • CloudTalk

    A €39 a user a month add-on, on plans from €25[16]

    You call outside North America.

9 or more reps

Now Orum will sell to you, and staying with it is a fair answer. The question at this size is whether you need a CRM written to, or a contract you can leave.

  • Orum

    No price published. Per user, billed annually.[1]

    Stay if you use what it lists as included: power and parallel dialing, unlimited dials, up to 10 caller IDs a month, voicemail drop, Salesfloor rooms, AI call summaries and international calling[1]. We have no unlimited plan, no sales floor and no calling outside the US and Canada.

  • Nooks

    No price published[6]

    You want a second quote from the other enterprise dialer. Lines: 2 to 5[7]. Nooks against Orum.

  • Five at a Time

    $1,350 a month for 9 seats, sharing 22,500 minutes. $16,200 over twelve months if you stay

    Ours. The team dials US and Canadian lists from CSVs and does not want an annual contract. No Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach or Salesloft sync. Leads come in by CSV.

Where Orum beats us

Orum lists unlimited dials. Our minutes are metered: 2,500 a seat a month, then 5 cents each. A team that dials hard every day will pay us for usage and will not pay Orum for it. The pricing page has a calculator for your own numbers.

Orum connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Gong and Apollo. No Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach or Salesloft sync. Leads come in by CSV. Calls US and Canadian numbers only. No virtual sales floor or team video rooms.

What we offer against that is small and specific: a price on the page, one seat if that is all you need, and no contract to leave. We have not tested Orum’s call quality and make no claim about it.

Questions about leaving Orum

Does Orum have a minimum number of seats?

Yes. Orum's pricing page states a minimum of 9 seats, per user, billed annually. It shows no prices.

What is the best Orum alternative for one rep?

Our pick is Five at a Time, which we make: $150 a seat a month, one seat minimum, no annual contract, with a free trial of 10 conversations or 24 hours. DialSheet, which we also make, costs less: free for one person, and $29 a seat a month with parallel dialing on your own Twilio account.

How much does Orum cost?

Orum publishes no price. Vendr, which collects buyer-reported contracts, reports a median Orum contract of $24,000 a year across 93 purchases, ranging from $5,400 to $103,376. These are reported figures, not Orum's price list.

Does Orum have a free trial?

Orum's pricing page lists A free trial limited to 500 dials. You still buy through a demo and a quote.

Is Nooks a good Orum alternative?

For a team of 2 or more with a CRM, it can be. Nooks states a minimum of 2 seats against Orum's 9 and connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft and Apollo. Like Orum, it publishes no price and sells through a demo.

What does Orum have that Five at a Time does not?

CRM and sequencer integrations, international calling, Salesfloor rooms and unlimited dials, all listed on Orum's site. Five at a Time has no CRM sync, calls US and Canadian numbers only, and meters minutes: 2,500 a seat a month, then 5 cents each.

Can a team of 9 or more use Five at a Time?

Yes. Seats are $150 each and minutes pool across the team, so 9 seats share 22,500 minutes a month for $1,350. The reasons to stay with Orum at that size are CRM sync, international calling and unlimited dials, none of which we have.
