A third option: Personnect
Personnect is a parallel dialer for B2B outbound sales teams that calls up to five people at once per rep. It charges 8.5¢ per minute on answered calls, and calls that ring out, are busy or fail cost nothing. It has no seat fees, no platform fee and unlimited users, and no contract and no minimum term on the usage plan.
The rep is connected the moment a person answers, with the contact's details already on screen. Voicemail is detected and skipped, so the rep moves on to the next contact. The summary, transcript and outcome of every call are logged and synced to your CRM, so the rep has nothing to type.
Personnect offers native two-way integrations with HubSpot and Salesforce; any other CRM through CSV import and export, and a direct integration on request.
