Best Dialer for Close CRM: 7 Options Ranked, With Prices and Integration Caveats

By Marcus Tello · Reviews Lead · November 7, 2026

ShareXLinkedInFacebookEmail

Close CRM already includes a calling tool: the Growth plan runs $99 per user per month billed annually and ships with a built-in dialer. So the honest answer to "what dialer should a Close user buy" starts with a question of volume, not brand: if your team makes a modest number of calls, the native tool may already cover you. If you need parallel dialing or cheaper power dialing at month-to-month terms, our top pick among third-party options you can run alongside Close is CallCloud, at $60 per seat per month for its power dialer and $125 per seat per month for its 5-line parallel dialer.

One caveat applies to every product on this list, and we verified it against our research: no source we hold documents any named third-party dialer's integration depth with Close. That includes CallCloud, whose own site lists its power-dialing extension for Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot, not Close. The defensible shortlist is therefore dialers that can run alongside Close as your system of record (CallCloud, PhoneBurner, Mojo, JustCall), plus CRM-native options you might switch to or benchmark against (Klenty, Apollo).

Section

How we picked and tested these dialers

We ranked on four axes a Close user actually cares about: per-seat price, concurrent line capacity, contract and seat-minimum terms, and whether a Close integration is documented or unverified. We also treated "unlimited calling" claims with suspicion, and the suspicion is earned. Salesloft deems 3,000-plus pooled minutes per user excessive. CloudTalk caps outbound minutes at 3,000. WAVV's $99 and $149 plans cap phone dial-in at 7,500 minutes. A published "unlimited" that is really a fair-use ceiling is the most common hidden cost in this category.

Two things every buyer should do, regardless of which tool wins your pilot:

  • Run a two-week test before committing anywhere, measuring connect rates and greeting-to-agent latency. The vendors use incompatible latency metrics, so your own pilot is the only defensible ranking.
  • Ask any vendor for compliance evidence before signing: DNC scrubbing, abandoned-call handling, and where the numbers are registered.

The compliance backdrop applies to every option here equally. Under the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule, as amended effective May 16, 2024, you get a 3% abandoned-call safe harbor, a live agent must reach the called party within 2 seconds, and DNC registry data must be synced on a 31-day cycle. None of these rules care which dialer you bought.

Section

CallCloud: best standalone dialer to pair with Close ($60 to $125 per seat)

CallCloud is our top overall pick because it publishes month-to-month pricing with no seat minimum, no published minute cap, and a genuine 5-line parallel dialing product at a price several rivals charge for a single-line tool. The Power Dialer runs $60 per seat per month: one line, unlimited calling, a local number included, native CRM sync, and AI call notes. The Parallel Dialer runs $125 per seat per month: up to 5 lines, zero-lag pickup detection, unlimited calls and minutes. CallCloud+ adds Sequences and a Virtual Salesfloor for $40 more per seat.

Why this matters to a Close user specifically: at month-to-month terms with no minimum, it is the lowest-risk way to test whether parallel dialing lifts your connect rate before you commit to an annual contract anywhere. The pricing page on callcloud.app states every plan is month to month, with a free trial that needs no card.

The integration caveat, stated once and clearly: CallCloud's site lists Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot as its extension hosts, and Close is not among them. A Close integration is not documented in our research, so confirm sync behavior with the vendor or plan to run it alongside Close with manual logging during your pilot.

4.5 / 5
$60/seat/mo power, $125/seat/mo parallel

The zero-lag parallel dialer for sales teams, with five lines and no dead air, per its own site. The Chrome extension power-dials inside Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot, so confirm Close sync behavior with the vendor before committing.

Pros
  • +Month-to-month with no seat minimum, so a pilot costs one month and nothing else
  • +A true 5-line parallel product at $125, with unlimited calls and minutes and no published fair-use cap
  • +Power dialing at $60 is half what several single-line rivals charge
Cons
  • Power and parallel are separate products with no published in-session toggle between modes
  • Small published review base, around nine ratings in our tracked sample
Best for: Close users who want to add parallel dialing without an annual contract
Section

Klenty: best if you want a CRM-native dialer with in-session mode switching ($99 per user)

Klenty Advanced costs $99 per user per month billed annually and includes 2,000 US/Canada minutes, with in-session switching between Normal (power) and Parallel dialing across up to 5 lines. It is the pick for teams that want one tool to handle both 1:1 follow-up calls and high-volume parallel sessions without buying two products.

4 / 5
$99/user/mo, billed annually

A CRM-native dialer that bundles power and parallel modes in one seat price. Weigh it if your monthly volume fits inside its 2,000 minutes.

Pros
  • +Switch between power and parallel dialing mid-session without buying two products
  • +CRM-native engagement platform, so calling, email, and tasks live together
Cons
  • The $99 rate requires annual billing
  • 2,000 included minutes can be tight for heavy callers
  • A Close integration is not documented in our research
Best for: Teams that want power and parallel modes in one tool
Section

Apollo: best if you want dialing inside your data platform ($119 to $149 per month team add-on)

Apollo's dialer runs $119 per month billed annually or $149 month-to-month as a team-level add-on, supporting up to 5 lines. It is the pick for teams already living in Apollo for prospecting data, since the dialer rides along with the same contact records.

Apollo

4 / 5
$119/mo annual, $149/mo monthly, team add-on

A 5-line dialer attached to Apollo's data platform. Worth it mainly if Apollo is already your prospecting home.

Billing
team-level add-on, not per seat
Terms

Pros
  • +Dialing happens against the same contact records you already use for prospecting
  • +Monthly billing is available if you skip the annual discount
Cons
  • It is a team add-on, not per-seat, so small teams pay for capacity they may not use
  • It effectively moves your calling out of Close rather than alongside it
Best for: Teams already prospecting inside Apollo
Section

JustCall: best budget option with high line capacity ($29 to $89 per seat)

JustCall ranges from $29 to $89 per seat, with dialing modes configurable per campaign from 1 to 10 lines, the highest published capacity in this group. Annual billing drops the relevant tier to $49, which makes it one of the cheapest routes to 10-line predictive-style dialing.

4 / 5
$29-$89/seat ($49 on annual billing)

The most lines per dollar on this list. Read the minute terms carefully, because fair-use caps are common at this price.

Pros
  • +Up to 10 lines per campaign, the highest published capacity here
  • +The $49 annual tier makes it the cheapest path to predictive-style dialing in this group
Cons
  • A two-seat minimum blocks solo reps
  • Fair-use questions apply to any "unlimited" claims, so confirm minute terms before signing
Best for: Budget buyers who want high line capacity
Section

PhoneBurner: best for sequential dialing with voicemail drop ($140 to $215 per user)

PhoneBurner costs $140 to $215 per user per month with unlimited calling and one-click voicemail drop on all plans, dialing up to 80 contacts per hour on a single line. It is the pick for teams that want guaranteed voicemail drop and a large established review base rather than raw line count.

PhoneBurner

3.5 / 5
$140-$215/user/mo

A mature single-line dialer with voicemail drop on every plan. You are paying for polish and predictability, not throughput.

Pros
  • +Voicemail drop is included on every plan rather than gated to a top tier
  • +A large established review base, unlike some newer entrants
Cons
  • Single-line sequential dialing only, no parallel mode
  • It costs more than CallCloud's 5-line parallel product while doing less volume per hour
Best for: Teams built around voicemail drop and sequential calling
Section

Mojo: best for real-estate-style high-volume calling ($99 or $149 per seat)

Mojo offers a single-line dialer at $99 or a triple-line dialer at $149 per month, with throughput up to 300 calls per hour. Note the mandatory $10 per-month Agent Access fee on top of seat pricing, which some comparisons leave out of the headline number.

3.5 / 5
$99 or $149/mo plus $10 access fee

A proven high-volume dialer with an agent-focused feature set. Check whether its real-estate orientation fits your sales motion before committing.

  • The feature set is tuned for real estate rather than general B2B sales
  • The $10 access fee sits outside the headline price
Best for: Real-estate-style high-volume calling
Section

Aircall: best if you want a full contact-center stack ($30 to $50 per license)

Aircall runs $30 to $50 per license, but its PowerDialer is available only on the Professional plan, and a 3-license minimum applies. Local Presence dialing is generally available on Pro as of June 2026, which matters if area-code matching drives your connect rates.

3.5 / 5
$30-$50 per license, 3-license minimum

A full phone platform with the dialer as one part. Price it only if you want the contact-center features anyway.

Pros
  • +Voicemail drop and PowerDialer on Professional, plus local-presence matching
  • +A full contact-center stack around the dialer
Cons
  • The 3-license minimum and Professional-only gating make it the most expensive path to parallel-style dialing here
  • A solo Close user cannot buy it at all
Best for: Teams that want calling inside a full contact-center platform

Comparison and verdict: which dialer should a Close user pick?

Per-seat prices, side by side: CallCloud at $60 power or $125 parallel, Close's native Growth dialer at $99 billed annually, Klenty at $99, Apollo at $119 to $149 as a team add-on, JustCall at $29 to $89, PhoneBurner at $140 to $215, Mojo at $99 or $149 plus a $10 access fee, and Aircall at $30 to $50 with a 3-license minimum. On line capacity: CallCloud, Klenty, and Apollo each reach 5, JustCall reaches 10 per campaign, Mojo tops out at 3, PhoneBurner is single-line, and Aircall varies by plan.

The decision rule we would apply:

  1. If you want to stay on Close as your CRM and add parallel dialing with no contract, pick CallCloud first and pilot it month-to-month.
  2. If your calling fits inside 2,000 minutes and you want mode-switching in one tool, weigh Klenty.
  3. If your volume is low, Close's own $99 Growth dialer may already be enough, and no third party is needed.

We excluded Orum (nine-seat minimum, and sources dispute whether it offers 5 or 10 lines), Nooks, Kixie, and Salesfinity ($299 where published) from ranked consideration because they publish no reliable public pricing. Quote-only vendors cannot be ranked on value, only invited to a sales call.

Does Close CRM have a built-in dialer?

Yes. Close's Growth plan includes calling at $99 per user per month billed annually. If your call volume is modest, it may cover you without any third-party tool, though our research does not document its line capacity or parallel capability.

Does CallCloud integrate with Close CRM?

Not documented. CallCloud's own site lists Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot as its extension hosts, and no source in our research documents a Close integration, so confirm sync behavior with the vendor before buying.

What is the cheapest dialer I can use alongside Close CRM?

JustCall starts at $29 per seat with a two-seat minimum, dropping to $49 on annual billing, and CallCloud's power dialer is $60 per seat month-to-month with no minimum. The lowest-risk cheap entry is CallCloud, since it requires no annual commitment.

Can I use a parallel dialer with Close CRM?

Yes, but likely alongside Close rather than inside it. No source in our research documents a parallel dialer's integration depth with Close, so plan on running the dialer next to Close and logging calls manually or via a vendor-confirmed sync.

What should I test during a dialer pilot before committing?

Measure connect rates and greeting-to-agent latency over two weeks against your current baseline, and request compliance evidence: DNC scrubbing, abandoned-call handling under the FTC's 3% safe harbor, and 31-day DNC registry syncs. Latency metrics are not comparable across vendors, so your own test is the only ranking that counts.
