Frequently asked questions
At the entry level Ringover is lower, with Talk at $19 per user per month against $30 for Aircall Essentials. Both list the dialer higher up, at $49 for Ringover Business and $50 for Aircall Professional. Ringover excludes taxes and commits you for 12 months, so compare the terms as well as the price.
Yes. Ringover lists a power dialer on its Business plan, along with call campaigns and a parallel dialer in its feature list. Aircall lists a Power Dialer and outbound campaigns on its Professional plan. Neither record says how many calls each dialer places at once, so ask both vendors.
Both do, in different shapes. Ringover describes 7 days for up to 5 users with 300 outbound minutes, and you start it by contacting sales. Aircall says new accounts get free access to test the platform, but its pricing page does not state how long it lasts.
Ringover plans need at least 3 users, and Enterprise needs 50. Aircall Essentials and Professional each need at least 3 licenses, and Enterprise needs 25. A team of two would fall under the minimum on both, so check that before you plan a pilot.
Ringover lists a 12-month commitment on its plans. Aircall says plans can be billed monthly or annually, with annual saving 25%. Neither record covers cancellation terms or notice periods, so read the contract before you sign.
Both list Bullhorn, along with Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive. Ringover also lists Loxo, JobAdder and Avionté, which are recruiting and staffing names. Aircall lists sales engagement tools such as Outreach, Salesloft and Gong. Check each integrations page for what syncs back to the record.
Both record calls and offer coaching. Ringover lists recordings on Talk and sells Empower separately for call scoring and scorecards. Aircall lists recording and AI transcripts from Essentials, with coaching, whispering and live monitoring on Professional. The records do not rate their quality, so test both.
No. Neither has a native integration, so you check the contacts first by CSV, API or MCP, then load the High chance contacts into your dialer. US phone numbers only, and the first 250 contacts are free with no card required.
Export your contacts as a CSV from your CRM or applicant tracking system and run the check. Then load the High chance rows into a Ringover call campaign or an Aircall outbound campaign. Each vendor's help documentation covers the exact list import steps.
Both systems include texting, so Low chance contacts can get a message or an email instead of a dial. Ringover lists texting on its plans, and Aircall includes SMS and MMS on Essentials. Keep Bad data contacts out of the campaign so no seat time is spent on them.
