Starting price

Aircall

Sales-quoted Free trial

Cloud phone system for recruiting and sales call desks, built around CRM connectors. Plans are quote-based with a three-license minimum.

Where Aircall fits

  • Desks that need recording plus CRM logging
  • Companies replacing desk phones with a softphone

CloudCall

Quote-based

Phone and SMS system built into staffing CRMs such as Bullhorn, Salesforce and Vincere, so recruiters call, text and log activity without leaving the record.

It serves more than 32,000 users, and pricing is by quote.

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, and no per-license price is published. AI Voice Agent minutes beyond the included bundle are consumption.

Not the right fit for

  • Solo recruiters who want a cheap power dialer
  • Teams that need LinkedIn sequencing more than voice

CloudCall

Stands out: It is made for recruitment CRMs specifically: calls and texts land on the right Bullhorn or Vincere record with AI-written notes, and screen pops open the candidate or contact with history as the phone rings. Local presence and voicemail drop speak to high-volume agency dialling.

Watch out: No prices are published, so you need a demo to compare it with per-seat dialers. It replaces your phone system rather than adding AI on top of an existing one, and the public site does not list every supported CRM.

Not the right fit for

  • Small teams wanting a published per-seat price
  • Firms keeping their current phone system
