Best Power Dialers for Pipedrive - A Detailed Comparison

Key Takeaways

• Kixie is best for SDR and BDR teams of 3–20 reps who need aggressive outreach inside Pipedrive, because its multi-line power dialer (up to 10 simultaneous calls) and deep native CRM integration let reps dial without ever leaving their pipeline view.
• Aircall is best for mid-sized sales teams (5–50 seats) that already trust a recognized brand and need reliable Pipedrive integration with solid AI features, because it pairs a clean UX with call summaries and sentiment analysis—though its power dialer is more limited than purpose-built alternatives.
• CloudTalk is best for international sales teams reaching prospects in 100+ countries, because its parallel dialer, local number rotation across 160+ countries, and Pipedrive integration make it one of the strongest options for global outbound at a competitive price.
• JustCall is best for budget-conscious sales and support teams (2+ seats) that want Pipedrive integration plus AI coaching without paying enterprise prices, because its transparent per-user pricing and 17-language AI support cover a wide range of team needs.

Pipedrive is one of the most popular CRMs among small sales teams. It's visual, fast to set up, and doesn't require a dedicated admin to keep it clean.

But here's the problem: when it comes to power dialers, your options are surprisingly limited.

Big names in the phone system space simply don't support Pipedrive. Dialpad, despite being a well-funded and capable tool, has no native Pipedrive integration. Nextiva, often recommended for business calling, is in the same boat. If you've already gone through the effort of building your pipeline in Pipedrive, you're not going to tear it down just to satisfy a phone vendor's CRM preference.

That's what makes this comparison worth reading carefully. The shortlist of power dialers with a genuine, maintained Pipedrive integration is short—and the differences between them matter more because of it. In this article, we compare four solutions—Kixie, Aircall, CloudTalk, and JustCall—across the features that matter most for outbound teams: dialer capabilities, AI features, pricing transparency, and the depth of their Pipedrive integration. By the end, you'll know exactly which one fits your team size, budget, and calling volume.

Kixie, Best for Teams Running High-Volume Outreach

What is Kixie?

Founded in 2013 and based in Santa Monica, Kixie was built with one type of team in mind: small and mid-sized SDR/BDR squads who need to make a lot of calls without leaving their CRM. That focus shows in the product. While many phone vendors started as general-purpose communication tools and bolted on a dialer later, Kixie built the dialer experience first. Features like local number rotation—where Kixie automatically switches the caller ID when you call the same contact multiple times in a day—reflect a level of outreach-specific thinking that's harder to find in platforms aimed at broader audiences.

The tool runs inside a Google Chrome extension, which means it lives right alongside your Pipedrive tab. Reps can click-to-call directly from a contact record, and call logs, dispositions, and summaries sync back automatically. It's a tight loop designed to remove every second of friction between a rep and the next conversation.

Why Kixie Is a Good Fit for Pipedrive Teams

Kixie's Pipedrive integration is one of its most polished. Leads can be imported directly from the CRM into a power dialer queue, and the native sync ensures that every call is logged with notes, recordings, and outcomes without any manual steps. That means reps stay focused on conversations rather than data entry.

The multi-line power dialer supports up to 10 simultaneous calls—useful for teams with large contact lists that need to increase connect rates. The AI Human Detect feature automatically skips voicemails and IVR menus, so reps only hear a live voice when they pick up a connected call. Managers get live monitoring with a whisper mode to coach reps in real time.

The main limitation to know: Kixie runs exclusively through a Chrome extension. Your team needs to work in Google Chrome, and there's no real mobile app to speak of (its Play Store rating is a telling 2.1/5). For teams that do all their selling from a desktop browser, this probably isn't a dealbreaker. For teams that work on the go, it's a significant gap.

Kixie Pricing

Kixie does not publish its prices publicly. Based on data available from 2023 when pricing was still listed on the website, plans ranged from approximately $35 to $95 per user per month, billed quarterly.

Three core plans exist:

• Professional — includes click-to-call, SMS, voicemail drop, live call coaching, and unlimited US/Canada minutes. CRM integrations available on all plans.
• Single-Line PowerDialer — adds single-line power dialer functionality.
• Multi-Line PowerDialer — adds parallel dialing with up to 10 simultaneous lines.

To use the power dialer with Pipedrive, you'll need at least the Single-Line PowerDialer plan.

A 7-day free trial is available. For current pricing, contact Kixie directly.

Aircall, Best for Established Sales Teams

What is Aircall?

Aircall was founded in Paris in 2014 with a straightforward premise: prioritizing deep CRM integrations as a core differentiator. That early decision is one reason Aircall became one of the best-known names in the category and why its Pipedrive integration is among the more reliable options on this list.

Today Aircall targets medium to large companies and operates in 38 countries. It's a recognized brand, and for some sales leaders, that recognition carries weight: choosing a well-funded, widely-reviewed platform feels safer than going with a smaller vendor. The product backs that reputation up with a clean interface, strong AI features, and coverage that most competitors can't match geographically.

Why Aircall Is a Good Fit for Pipedrive Teams

Aircall's Pipedrive integration handles the essentials well: call logging, contact syncing, and automatic activity creation inside your pipeline. The interface is clean enough that reps don't need much training, and the AI feature set—covering call summaries, sentiment analysis, live coaching, and a draft email generator—goes well beyond what most competitors include at a comparable price point.

That said, Aircall's power dialer is intentionally limited. The company has publicly stated that it focuses on ethical outbound calling and, as a result, has chosen not to offer a parallel dialer. You won't find a multi-line option or a local presence feature here. For teams running heavy cold outreach where connect rates are a primary concern, this is a real constraint. Aircall works best when calling volume is moderate and call quality per conversation matters more than total calls per hour.

The 3-license minimum is also worth noting for very small teams. And while the Essentials plan starts at $40/user/month, the power dialer and voicemail drop only unlock at the Professional tier—so budget-focused buyers should plan for $70/user/month as the effective entry point for a full outbound setup.

Aircall Pricing

• Essentials — $40/user/month: Includes a local number, unlimited calls within US & Canada, IVR, call recording, SMS and MMS. No power dialer.
• Professional — $70/user/month: Adds the power dialer, voicemail drop, advanced analytics, and unlimited call recording storage. This is the plan you need for power dialing with Pipedrive.

Minimum 3 licenses on all plans. AI features are available as a separate add-on (pricing not public). A 7-day free trial is available.

CloudTalk, Best for International Sales Teams

What is CloudTalk?

CloudTalk was founded in 2016. Since then, the product has grown steadily, claiming over 4,000 customers across 100 countries—numbers that signal a product built for global scale rather than a single market. From the start, CloudTalk leaned into international telephony as a core strength, which explains why it now supports local numbers in 160+ countries and automatically switches to a local caller ID when dialing a new region.

The company serves both sales teams and support/call center operations, giving it a slightly broader target market than some of the pure outbound dialers on this list. That breadth is visible in the product: CloudTalk includes agent survey forms you can fill in mid-call, an AI Voice Agent for inbound and outbound automation, and a topic extraction engine that analyzes transcripts for recurring themes—useful for both sales coaching and support quality tracking.

Why CloudTalk is a Good Fit for Pipedrive Teams

If your team dials prospects across multiple countries, CloudTalk has a meaningful edge. The automatic local presence feature—where the system detects your prospect's region and swaps in a local number—can noticeably improve answer rates, and this works across 160+ countries rather than just North America. G2 reviewers specifically highlight this as a standout advantage.

CloudTalk's Pipedrive integration is part of its 70 native integrations. Contacts import directly from the CRM, calls log automatically, and the parallel dialer (up to 10 lines) means reps can push through large lists efficiently. The AI suite adds call transcripts, summaries, sentiment analysis, and a talk-to-listen ratio calculation for coaching purposes.

The main concerns are practical ones: call quality issues are mentioned periodically in reviews, and customer support response times have been flagged as slow. Its mobile app rating (2.4/5 on the App Store) also suggests the desktop experience is considerably stronger than the mobile one. Importantly, both the power dialer and Pipedrive integration require the Expert plan—so the advertised $27/month entry price isn't the realistic number for Pipedrive users looking to power dial.

CloudTalk Pricing

• Lite — $27/user/month: Unlimited domestic calls and local numbers in 160+ countries. No integrations or power dialer.
• Essential — $39/user/month: Adds IVR, ring groups, and integrations including Pipedrive. No power dialer.
• Expert — $69/user/month (3-seat minimum): Adds the power dialer, live monitoring, advanced reporting, and WhatsApp support. This is the plan required to use both the power dialer and Pipedrive integration.

A 14-day free trial is available, no credit card required.

JustCall, Best for Smaller Teams

What is JustCall?

JustCall launched in 2016 out of SaaS Labs, an India-based software company. The founding premise was practical: sales and support teams were spending too much time on repetitive tasks—logging calls, updating CRMs, writing follow-up notes. JustCall was designed to automate those tasks so reps could stay focused on the actual conversation. That operational mindset is still visible in the product today: JustCall offers one of the more thorough automation and AI feature sets in its price range, including an outbound AI voice agent that can qualify leads before a human rep ever picks up.

With local number support in 70+ countries and integrations including Pipedrive, HubSpot, Attio, Salesforce, and several niche CRMs, JustCall has positioned itself as a flexible middle layer between sales tools—easy to plug in, transparent in its pricing, and responsive enough in support that its Trustpilot score (4.5/5) stands out in a category where support complaints are common.

Why JustCall is a Good Fit for Pipedrive Teams

JustCall's Pipedrive integration handles the fundamentals cleanly: call logging, contact syncing, and pipeline activity updates happen automatically. The standout for smaller teams is the pricing structure. At $39/user/month on the Team plan, you get AI call transcription, a local number, SMS and WhatsApp messaging, and CRM integrations—all of which are included without hidden fees. Call transcripts are included in every plan for free, which is unusual in the category.

The parallel dialer (up to 10 simultaneous calls) unlocks at the Pro tier ($69/user/month). AI coaching features—sentiment analysis, call scoring, real-time agent assist—are available at the Pro Plus tier ($109/user/month) or as add-ons, which adds up faster than the base price suggests. The platform can also experience occasional glitches, and numbers assigned to accounts have sometimes been flagged as spam by carriers, which can hurt answer rates if it happens to your team's numbers.

Despite those friction points, JustCall earns its place here on value. For a team of 2–10 reps working a Pipedrive pipeline who want solid AI transcription and coaching without a five-figure annual commitment, it's the most accessible option on this list.

JustCall Pricing

• Team — $39/user/month (2-seat minimum): Unlimited US/Canada calls, AI transcription, local number, SMS and WhatsApp, CRM integrations including Pipedrive. No power dialer.
• Pro — $69/user/month (2-seat minimum): Adds power dialer, bulk SMS, Salesforce integration, roles and permissions, reporting. This is the plan required for power dialing with Pipedrive.
• Pro Plus — $109/user/month: Adds real-time agent assist, sentiment analysis, and call scoring.

AI features like summaries and sentiment analysis are available as add-ons: AI Review Assist costs $9/user/month. A 14-day free trial is available.

Conclusion: Which Pipedrive Power Dialer Should You Choose?

The core challenge with Pipedrive isn't finding a good phone system—it's finding one that actually integrates with it. Tools like Dialpad and Nextiva look capable on paper but leave Pipedrive users without a native connection. The four options in this article all clear that bar, and each is strongest in a different scenario.

Kixie wins if you're running a focused SDR team with high daily call volumes and need the full multi-line parallel dialer experience inside Pipedrive. Aircall is the safest bet for established teams that value brand trust, clean AI features, and don't need aggressive parallel dialing. CloudTalk is the clearest choice for international outreach—its local presence across 160+ countries is genuinely hard to match. And JustCall stands out for smaller teams that want transparent pricing, solid Pipedrive integration, and AI transcription without committing to an expensive contract.

Start your free trial with the option that fits your team size and calling style. Most of these tools offer 7–14 days to test the Pipedrive sync before you sign anything.
