The short answer

Close : CRM plus dialer at $9 Solo if you do not already live in HubSpot. From $9/user/mo
Ringover : Voice plus SMS with Bullhorn if you are an agency. From $15/user/mo
TextUs : Shared SMS for TA if the dialer is unused. From $299/mo
Heymarket : Shared SMS inbox if calling is not the job. From $49/user/mo

Why people look past Aloware

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

What we noted

Core is $30/user with a 10-user floor
3-user package is $199
Not a recruiting ATS

Not the right fit for

Solo operators (Core has a 10-user minimum)
International calling as the centre (use CloudTalk)
People who want a CRM included

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

What each one does differently

Close

$9/user/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: CRM plus dialer at $9 Solo if you do not already live in HubSpot.

Stands out: Calling inside the CRM (not a bolted-on dialer), plus WhatsApp, Calendly, HubSpot, and a first-party MCP.

Watch out: Phone lines are $1/line/month, which is not the CRM seat. Solo annual is $9/user. Calling is usage-based on top.

Best for

Small sales and recruiting desks that live on the phone
Teams that want CRM plus dialer in one login
Buyers who will try with no card

Ringover

$15/user/mo Free trial API

Why it comes up: Voice plus SMS with Bullhorn if you are an agency.

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

Watch out: Engage is $15/user/mo; the $47 rung is the fuller sales/HR suite. Conversational AI, cadence, and CRM autofill are add-ons.

Best for

Recruiting agencies that call and text
Bullhorn shops
HubSpot or Salesforce sales teams

TextUs

$299/mo API

Why it comes up: Shared SMS for TA if the dialer is unused.

Stands out: A real $299 floor for TA texting, with Bullhorn, Workday, Greenhouse, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier named.

Watch out: Pro is $299/mo. WhatsApp is +$29/user (beta). Overage is $0.02/message.

Best for

TA and staffing teams that text as the channel
Bullhorn, Workday, or Greenhouse shops
Shared inboxes that need local numbers

Heymarket

$49/user/mo API

Why it comes up: Shared SMS inbox if calling is not the job.

Stands out: Published per-user prices, a shared inbox with phone numbers per user, and SMS, email, WhatsApp and RCS in one place.

Watch out: Messages cost extra through credit bundles (1,000 credits is $30/mo), 10DLC compliance adds $10/mo per campaign, and the API starts on Pro.

Best for

Support and sales teams texting from one inbox
Recruiters who need a shared number for candidates
Teams that want HubSpot sync on the entry plan
