Where they pull apart

Aircall

Stands out: Calls log back into HubSpot, Salesforce, Bullhorn, and Slack instead of living in a separate PBX.

Watch out: Plans start at three licenses. Essentials is $30 per license a month and Professional is $50, billed annually. AI Voice Agent minutes beyond the included bundle are consumption.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need LinkedIn sequencing more than voice

Aloware

Stands out: HubSpot/Salesforce-native calling and SMS with a 3-user package at $199/mo if you cannot hit the 10-seat Core floor.

Watch out: Core is $30/user (min 10). AloAi analytics is extra credits.
