CloudTalk
Stands out: Unlimited US and Canada calling with local numbers in 160-plus countries on a published seat price. HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Close, and WhatsApp are named.
Watch out: $25 is Starter on annual billing; Essential is $29 and Expert $49. Preview, power and parallel dialers, branded caller ID and AI conversation intelligence are add-ons, and CRM integrations do not turn on until Essential. Calling is still usage on top.
Not the right fit for
- US-only SMS recruiting
- People who want a CRM included (use Close)
- Buyers who need $9 CRM-plus-dialer
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: Engage is $15/user/mo; the $47 rung is the fuller sales/HR suite. Conversational AI, cadence, and CRM autofill are add-ons.
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
