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

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

Ringover

Stands out: Dialer plus SMS with Bullhorn named next to HubSpot and Salesforce: agency recruiting actually shows up in the connector list.

Watch out: TALK is $19/user/mo with a 3-user minimum; the $49 BUSINESS rung is the fuller suite with the Power Dialer. Call and SMS campaigns are a $10/user/mo add-on.

Not the right fit for

  • People who only need a $9 CRM
  • Teams that will not SMS candidates
  • Buyers who need a US-only TextUs inbox
