Five at a Time suits
One rep, or a small team, dialing from lists in the US and Canada. It is $150 a seat a month with 2,500 minutes a seat, one seat is enough, and you can leave after any month.
Five at a Time vs Nooks: a price on the page against a demo
Five at a Time is $150 a seat a month with a one-seat minimum, bought online with a card. Nooks publishes no price[1], sells 2 seats or more[2], and starts with a demo.
The short version
Nooks suits
A team of 2 or more that works out of Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft or Apollo[5] and needs calls logged there. It also has a virtual sales floor and prospect research, and we have neither.
Two ways to buy a dialer
Nooks is sold through a demo and a quote. Five at a Time is a sign-up page and a card form.

The trial starts: 10 conversations or 24 hours. Then the plan starts on your card unless you cancel.
The picture counts steps. We do not know how long Nooks’ side takes, and on ours the business check has to clear before your first call.

What one year costs
Ours is multiplication. Nooks’ is a quote, so there is no Nooks column to add up.
1 seat
$150 a month × 122,500 minutes a month in the pool
$1,800
Nooks: not sold. Its minimum is 2 seats.[2]
2 seats
$300 a month × 125,000 minutes a month in the pool
$3,600
Nooks: by quote. No price for 2 seats is published.[1]
5 seats
$750 a month × 1212,500 minutes a month in the pool
$9,000
Nooks: by quote. No price for 5 seats is published.[1]
Our totals assume every seat stays inside its 2,500 included minutes. Past the pool a minute is 5 cents, and every answered call counts at least one, voicemail included. How dialer minutes work has the arithmetic.
For Nooks, Vendr reports contracts from $7,674 to $150,897 a year, with a median of $30,105.[8] Those are whole-contract totals, and we will not turn them into a price for a seat. Nooks pricing goes through what is known.
Who should pick which
Pick Nooks if
- Your reps work out of Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft or Apollo and every call has to land there. We have no sync.
- You want a virtual sales floor. We do not have one.
- You want prospect research and AI sequencing in the same tool as the dialer.
- You have 2 or more reps and the budget for a negotiated contract.
Pick Five at a Time if
- You are one rep. Nooks’ own blog says 2 seats is the minimum. More for solo reps.
- You dial from CSV lists and do not need a CRM in the loop.
- You want to read the price before you talk to anyone, and pay by the month.
- Every number you call is in the US or Canada.
Our other gaps, whoever you compare us with: Minutes are metered. There is no unlimited plan. No SOC 2 report or other third-party security audit yet. No mobile app. It runs in a desktop browser.
Questions to ask on a Nooks demo
If Nooks fits, take these with you. Its public pages leave each one open.
What is the price for a seat at my team size?
The pricing page shows none, so get it in writing.
Is there an onboarding fee?
Vendr reports $2,000 to $10,000 or more.[8]
What is the shortest term, and what does month to month add?
Nooks’ site states no term. Vendr’s reported mix is in the table above.
How many lines will each rep get?
The help centre says 2 to 5. A Turbo mode averages about 6 and needs workspace data sharing switched on.[3] Ask what that data sharing covers.
Nooks or Five at a Time
Is Five at a Time cheaper than Nooks?
Nobody outside a Nooks quote can say, because Nooks publishes no price. Five at a Time is $150 a seat a month, so one seat is $1,800 a year and five seats are $9,000 inside the included minutes. Vendr’s buyer data reports a median Nooks contract of $30,105 a year across 59 purchases. That is a reported contract total, not Nooks’ price for a seat.
Can one person buy Nooks?
Not according to Nooks. Its own blog states a minimum of 2 seats. Five at a Time has no seat minimum, so one seat at $150 a month is enough.
Does Five at a Time integrate with Salesforce or HubSpot?
No. Leads come in by CSV and nothing syncs to a CRM. Nooks lists integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft and Apollo, so a team that needs calls logged in one of those should pick Nooks.
Does Nooks have a free trial?
Nooks’ site offers a demo and no self-serve sign-up or free trial, as read on November 13, 2026. Five at a Time’s trial is 10 conversations or 24 hours from your first dial, whichever comes first. You save a card and verify your business first, and the plan starts on that card when the trial ends unless you cancel.
What does Nooks have that Five at a Time does not?
CRM and sequencer integrations, a virtual sales floor, AI sequencing and prospect research. Five at a Time also calls US and Canadian numbers only, meters its minutes, bills monthly with no annual plan, and has no SOC 2 report yet.
