Which Power Dialers Actually Have Voicemail Drop? 7 Options Compared by Verified Feature, Price, and Lines

ShareXLinkedInFacebookEmail

Most power dialers that advertise "voicemail" do not all mean the same thing. The dialers that verifiably deposit a prerecorded message after an answering-machine beep, in their own documentation, are PhoneBurner, Kixie, Orum, and Mojo, and all four include it on at least their base dialer tiers. CallCloud takes a different route: at $60 per seat per month for its Chrome extension and $125 per seat per month for its five-line web Parallel Dialer, it power-dials inside Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot, platforms whose native dialers do include voicemail drop, so it is the strongest pick when the drop feature comes from your engagement platform rather than the dialer itself.

The distinction that ruins most buying decisions is this: detecting an answering machine, skipping voicemail, or logging a missed call is not voicemail drop. Drop means the software deposits a saved recording after the beep. The second trap is plan structure, and it changes every price comparison in this category: compare base seat plus qualifying tier plus add-on plus minutes, never the headline entry price. Aircall, for instance, starts drop on Professional at $50 per license per month annual-billed, not on the $30 Essentials plan, and CloudTalk sells drop as an add-on on top of a separately priced calling subscription.

Prices are per seat per month as published by each vendor. Annual-billed figures are noted where the vendor bills that way, and line counts and drop behavior come from each vendor's own documentation reviewed in October 2026.

Section

How we picked and verified each dialer

A vendor earned a "Yes" only if its own documentation describes depositing a saved recording. "Listed" means the feature name appears without a clear tier or mechanism. "Not documented" means unverified in the materials we reviewed, not proven incapable.

For each option we recorded the lowest published plan that actually qualifies for drop, the number of concurrent lines, saved-message limits, and whether each figure is annual-billed or month-to-month. One caution applies to the whole category: the dials-per-hour numbers across vendors are company-reported claims with different denominators, some counting dials, some contacts, some calls, and none is a standardized test.

Now the ranked options.

PickNo. 01
$60/seat/mo (extension), $60/seat/mo (web Power Dialer), $125/seat/mo (web Parallel Dialer)

CallCloud was built by a team that liked Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot but hated the dialer experience inside them, so its $60 extension power-dials and auto-logs directly in those platforms. Its $125 web Parallel Dialer dials up to five lines at once with unlimited US and Canada calling. Voicemail drop is not documented on CallCloud's own SKUs, but Salesloft's Dialer saves recordings and drops them, Outreach added automatic drop plus a manual option in August 2026, and HubSpot offers drop on Sales Hub Enterprise at $150/seat/month plus $3,500 onboarding with files under 5 MB, so the platform supplies what the dialer omits.

Pros
  • +Five-line parallel dialing with zero lag on pickup for $125/seat/month month-to-month
  • +$60 Chrome extension adds power dialing and auto-logging inside Salesloft, Outreach, and HubSpot
  • +No seat minimum, no fair-use policy, and native CRM sync with calls logged on hang-up
  • +Reported at roughly 300 dials/hour on five lines (company-reported, September 2026)
Cons
  • No documented voicemail drop on its own SKUs, so drop must come from the host platform
Best for: Teams on Salesloft, Outreach, or HubSpot who want parallel speed without paying twice for drop

PhoneBurner is the answer for a team that wants drop and dialer from one vendor with no plan-guessing. Its one-click drop ships on every plan, not as an upsell, and it allows unlimited stored messages. It is a single-line sequential dialer reaching up to 80 contacts per hour by its own claim, so it trades concurrency for simplicity. PhoneBurner explicitly does not offer ringless voicemail, which is a different product category from in-call drop. No seat minimum is published; the trial includes free minutes with no card required, length not disclosed. Its con is structural: single-line only, so teams that want parallel dialing need a different tool.

PhoneBurner

From $140/user/month annual-billed ($165 month-to-month)

One-click voicemail drop on all three plans, $140/$165/$183 per user annual-billed ($165/$195/$215 month-to-month), with unlimited stored messages. It is a single-line sequential dialer reaching up to 80 contacts per hour vendor-reported. It explicitly does not offer ringless voicemail.

Pros
    Cons
    • Single line only, no parallel dialing
    Best for: Teams that want drop on every plan with published pricing

    Kixie documents voicemail drop on all three of its dialer tiers, including the base single-line Professional tier, with unlimited custom recordings. Its dialer tiers run from one line up to four lines on the multiline tier, and the trial is seven days with no card. The catch is price: Kixie is quote-only, so budget-conscious teams must get a custom quote before comparing totals. That missing public pricing makes cost comparison harder than against price-published rivals like PhoneBurner or Mojo.

    Kixie

    Quote-only

    Drop on all three dialer tiers with unlimited custom recordings, one line up to four, seven-day trial with no card. No public dollar price, so request a quote before comparing.

    Pros
      Cons
      • Quote-only pricing blocks direct cost comparison
      Best for: Multiline teams fine with custom quotes

      Orum's AI deposits recordings automatically in either power or parallel sessions, with up to five parallel lines and unlimited saved recordings, and Orum recommends keeping messages under one minute. Its support documentation is unusually specific about deposit behavior, which is why it earns a verified Yes here. Pricing is quote-only with a nine-seat minimum, so it fits mid-size teams rather than solo reps, and the trial is limited to 500 dials before paid unlimited dials. The nine-seat minimum and absent public price make it hard for small teams to access and to price-compare.

      Orum

      Quote-only, nine-seat minimum

      Automatic drop in power and parallel modes, up to five lines, unlimited recordings, very specific deposit documentation. Quote-only with a nine-seat minimum and a 500-dial trial.

      Pros
        Cons
        • Nine-seat minimum excludes small teams
        • No public pricing
        Best for: Nine-plus-seat teams wanting automatic drop in both modes

        Mojo includes prerecorded answering-machine message drops even on its Single line plan, so drop does not require the multiline upgrade. Published prices run $99 single and $149 triple line per license per month, with team rates at $89/$139, plus a mandatory $10 Agent Access fee, and an advertised rate of up to 300 calls per hour, a vendor claim. It is strongest in real-estate workflows, where it is an established default. The access fee and real-estate orientation make it a weaker fit for general B2B sales teams.

        $99/$149 per license/month plus $10 Agent Access fee

        Drop even on the single-line plan, up to 300 calls per hour advertised, $99/$149 per license with team rates at $89/$139, plus a mandatory $10 Agent Access fee. Strongest in real estate.

        Pros
          Cons
          • Mandatory access fee
          • Real-estate orientation
          Best for: Real-estate teams

          CloudTalk routes drop through add-ons on top of a separately priced calling subscription: a EUR15/user/month sequential Power Dialer add-on with drop (included in the Expert plan), or a EUR39 parallel add-on with up to 10 lines and automatic drop. Base plans run EUR19 to EUR49 per user per month annual-billed, so the real comparison is base seat plus add-on, exactly the four-part math from the intro. The 14-day trial needs no card. The pricing complexity makes per-seat cost easy to underestimate at first glance.

          PickNo. 06
          Base plans EUR19-49/user/month plus EUR15 or EUR39 dialer add-on

          Drop arrives via add-ons: EUR15 sequential Power Dialer add-on with drop (included in Expert), or a EUR39 parallel add-on with up to 10 lines and automatic drop, on top of base plans from EUR19-49 per user annual-billed. Fourteen-day trial, no card.

          Pros
            Cons
            • Base-plus-add-on pricing understates real per-seat cost
            Best for: Teams already buying CloudTalk calling who want up to 10 parallel lines

            Worth knowing: which dialers explicitly do not have drop

            Enzo explicitly states its agent-driven dialer has no prerecorded playback or message drops, despite five and 14-line tiers at $99/$188 annual-billed. That is a rare confirmed no rather than a silent omission, and it proves a high line count guarantees nothing about drop.

            Several plan gates matter more than brand choice:

            • Aircall: drop on Professional at $50 annual-billed, not the $30 Essentials plan.
            • JustCall: drop on Pro and above, not the $29 Team plan.
            • MightyCall: drop on Pro and above, not Core, and each user can upload 10 files of 7 to 60 seconds, max 10 MB.
            • Salesmate: drop on Business at $63 and above, MP3 files under 5 MB.
            • Ringover: drop on Advanced only.

            Detection is not deposition. Convoso claims detection of up to 97% of answering machines with no methodology disclosed, and Five9 lists an ambiguous "Automatic voicemail" label; neither is a documented deposit claim. Saved-message limits vary and matter: VanillaSoft allows up to 9, CloudCall 5, and Dialpad Sell caps messages at 45 seconds and 32 MB, while PhoneBurner, Kixie, and Orum allow unlimited recordings.

            Section

            Who should pick which: a decision rule

            Every option in this article can be sorted with the same two questions:

            • Question 1: Where does voicemail drop live, in the dialer itself or in the engagement platform you already pay for?
            • Question 2: What does the lowest qualifying tier actually cost once you add base seat, add-on, and minutes?

            First: where does voicemail drop live, in the dialer itself or in the engagement platform you already pay for? Second: what does the lowest qualifying tier actually cost once you add base seat, add-on, and minutes? Answer those two in order and the list above collapses to one option fast.

            1. If your team already runs Salesloft, Outreach, or HubSpot, drop lives in the platform, so on question one you need a dialer, not a second drop feature: pick CallCloud, whose $60 extension or $125 five-line web Parallel Dialer adds month-to-month parallel speed with unlimited US and Canada calling and no seat minimum, without paying twice for a drop feature you already have. For most readers of this comparison, that makes it the top overall pick.
            2. If drop and dialer must come from one vendor on every plan, PhoneBurner ($140 annual-billed, one line, unlimited messages) answers both questions with published prices, or Kixie (up to four lines, quote-only) if you need multiline.
            3. If you run a nine-plus-seat team and want automatic drop across power and parallel modes, Orum is the verified automatic-deposit option; ask for the quote to answer question two.
            4. Real-estate teams should price Mojo ($99/$149 plus $10 access) against REDX bundles ($299 Connect with drop named) counting the leads included.
            5. If you are already on CloudTalk calling, the EUR39 parallel add-on buys up to 10 lines with automatic drop, priced as base plus add-on.

            Whatever you choose, run a pilot on your own list and test deposit behavior, message limits, and CRM write-back before committing, since every vendor figure in this article is company-reported.

            FAQ

            Is voicemail drop the same as answering machine detection?

            No. Detection means the software recognizes an answering machine picked up, usually to skip it or end the call. Drop means the software deposits a saved recording after the beep; detection alone leaves no message.

            Does CallCloud have voicemail drop?

            Not on its own documented SKUs. CallCloud's $60 extension and $125 five-line Parallel Dialer describe skipping voicemail after a pickup, not depositing a recording, so drop has to come from the host platform, such as Salesloft, Outreach, or HubSpot, whose native dialers include it.

            Which power dialer includes voicemail drop on its cheapest plan?

            PhoneBurner includes one-click drop on all three plans starting at $140 per user per month annual-billed. Kixie includes it on all three dialer tiers and Mojo on its single-line plan, but several rivals gate it to higher tiers, like Aircall at $50 Professional.

            How many prerecorded voicemails can you save in each dialer?

            PhoneBurner, Kixie, and Orum allow unlimited saved recordings. Limits elsewhere are tighter: MightyCall allows 10 files per user (7 to 60 seconds, max 10 MB), VanillaSoft 9, CloudCall 5, and Dialpad Sell caps messages at 45 seconds and 32 MB.

            Does voicemail drop cost extra on top of the power dialer price?

            Sometimes. PhoneBurner, Kixie, Orum, and Mojo include drop in the dialer tiers. CloudTalk charges EUR15 or EUR39 per user per month as an add-on on top of its calling subscription, and Aircall requires the $50 Professional tier rather than the $30 Essentials plan, so always price the lowest qualifying tier, not the entry plan.
