The best parallel dialers in 2026, by who is buying
We make two of the dialers on this list, Five at a Time and DialSheet, so read it knowing that. Five at a Time is our pick for the best parallel dialer: $150 a seat a month, one seat minimum, five lines and your own numbers handled for you. DialSheet is our pick for a small business on a budget. The rest are sorted by the buyer each one suits better.

Prices, lines and minimums as each vendor listed them on the dates in the sources below. “Ask first” means the page we read does not settle it. The picker is arithmetic on this table and not a recommendation engine.
How we put this list together
We read the vendors’ own pages
Every price, line count and seat minimum above comes from the vendor’s pricing page or help centre, on the date shown in the sources. Where a vendor lists no price, the table says so.
We did not test anyone’s calls
We have not dialed on the other products, so this page makes no claim about their call quality, connect speed or spam labelling. It compares what you can check before you buy.
We are not neutral
We sell two of these. That is why each row names the buyer who should pick someone else, and why the rules we write by are public.
What to check on any parallel dialer
Six questions for the demo or the pricing page, with our own answers so you can hold us to them.
The seat minimum
A price per seat tells you nothing until you know the fewest seats they will sell.
Ours None. One seat is enough.
The contract term
Monthly and annual are different purchases, even at the same seat price.
Ours Monthly. There is no annual plan and no contract.
What a minute or a dial costs
Ask whether calling is included, capped or metered, and what counts as a minute.
Ours 2,500 billed minutes a seat, then 5 cents each. Every answered call, voicemail included, bills at least one minute. How the meter works.
Whether the phone numbers are shared
Ask whether other customers dial from the same numbers you do.
Ours Each business gets its own five local numbers, picked from the area codes its lead list has most of. They are never shared between businesses. More on Spam Likely.
What happens to people on the other lines
Several phones ring at once. Ask what the second person to answer hears.
Ours Lines still ringing are hung up when you connect. If a second person answers after that, they hear a short automated apology and the call ends.
Where the leads come from
Some dialers expect a CRM and some a CSV. Know which one you have before the demo.
Ours No Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach or Salesloft sync. Leads come in by CSV.
New to the category? What a parallel dialer is covers the basics, and what one costs multiplies out the first year.
Dialers people ask about that are not parallel
- PhoneBurner
- A one-line power dialer by design, from $140 a user a month on annual billing.[20]
- JustCall
- A power dialer from its Pro plan. Multi-line dialing sits in a quote-only plan, with a 2-seat minimum.[21]
A power dialer calls one number at a time, and for plenty of reps that is the right tool. Parallel, power and predictive compared.
If the first row is you, the trial is 10 conversations or 24 hours. A card is saved and your business is checked before the first call.

What is the best parallel dialer for a solo rep?
Our pick is Five at a Time, which we make: $150 a seat a month with 2,500 minutes, one seat minimum, no contract, and a free trial of 10 conversations or 24 hours. If you would rather pay less and set up your own Twilio account, DialSheet, which we also make, is $29 a seat a month with parallel dialing.
What is the cheapest parallel dialer?
Of the dialers here with a listed price, DialSheet: $29 a seat a month with parallel dialing on your own Twilio account, so Twilio's per-minute charges come on top. We make DialSheet. CallCloud lists $125 a seat a month for parallel as a flat price.
Which parallel dialers have no seat minimum?
Five at a Time, DialSheet, Trellus, Salesfinity and CallCloud sell a single seat. Nooks states a minimum of 2 seats and Orum states 9. The others on this list do not give a minimum on the pages we read.
How many lines does a parallel dialer run?
Most on this list run up to five. Five at a Time lets you pick one, two, three or five lines before each session. Nooks runs 2 to 5, CloudTalk lists 5, or 10 on request, and Orum leaves the cap to your admin.
Do Nooks and Orum publish their prices?
No. Both sell by quote. Vendr, which collects buyer-reported contracts, reports a median of $30,105 a year for Nooks across 59 purchases and $24,000 a year for Orum across 93. Those are reported figures, not price lists.
Is PhoneBurner a parallel dialer?
No. PhoneBurner: a one-line power dialer by design, from $140 a user a month on annual billing. JustCall: a power dialer from its Pro plan. Multi-line dialing sits in a quote-only plan, with a 2-seat minimum.
Did you test these dialers?
No. We read each vendor's own pricing page on the dates in the sources and did not test anyone else's call quality or connect speed. We make two of the dialers on the list, so this is not a neutral ranking.
What happens when two people answer at once?
On Five at a Time you are connected to the first person who picks up and the lines still ringing are hung up. If a second person answers after you are connected, they hear a short automated apology and the call ends. Ask any vendor what theirs does.
