Head to head

Skipcall vs Minari: which one to choose

Both tools dial several lines at once: on that promise, they are the same. What separates them is the scope around the dialler and what each one publishes about its pricing. This page settles a single question: which of the two for your team, with the calculation method on display.

Data verified on 3 September 2026

The verdict, in three lines

The deciding factor is not the number of lines dialled: it is how much your organisation needs around the dialler, and what you can cost before you talk to a salesperson.

Choose Minari if

Your needs stop at the dialler, and your CRM already carries everything else.

Parallel dialling on up to five lines, calls and SMS advertised as unlimited, call recording, call transcription and an AI generated summary, two way sync with your CRM. If your team's day fits inside a dialling session and the rest lives in your CRM, that scope is enough.

Choose Skipcall if

You have fewer than a hundred employees and not everyone is in sales.

One tool for the whole organisation: parallel dialling on four lines for the people who prospect, and a business number, inbound calls, voicemail, SMS and mobile and web apps for everyone else. With a published price list, from €25 per licence, and online subscription.

Skipcall is built for organisations with fewer than a hundred employees. Beyond that, telephony becomes a project in itself, with several sites, reception rules and service levels, and an inbound specialist will be a better fit. And if you are still weighing up several tools, the alternative to Minari page widens the comparison.

What Minari does better than us

Four points where their offer is ahead of ours. Knowing them before you buy avoids a project that goes off the rails in the third month.

One more line in parallel dialling

Minari advertises up to five prospects dialled at once, Skipcall dials four. On paper, that is one more line per burst. In practice, beyond three or four lines the limiting factor becomes the depth of your list of reachable contacts rather than the dialler, but the advertised capacity is higher than ours.

Calls and SMS advertised as unlimited

Minari's pricing page advertises unlimited calls and SMS in its single plan. At Skipcall, three plans out of four carry a conversation quota and an SMS volume. We explain it below rather than leaving it out, but on that specific point Minari's offer is simpler to read.

The virtual salesfloor

Minari offers a collaborative space where sales reps dial together during a session, the Virtual Salesfloor. For a team that works remotely and wants the energy of a sales floor, that is a feature Skipcall does not have.

Caller number rotation

Three numbers per user and rotation across several dedicated numbers to limit spam flagging: this is advertised on Minari's pages, and it is not part of the scope Skipcall publishes today.

What Skipcall does better than Minari

The same exercise in reverse, and verifiable in the same way: four areas where the gap goes our way.

A published price list

Skipcall displays its four plans on its website, from €25 to €280 per licence per month, with no minimum number of licences, and subscription happens online. Minari publishes no amount: its single plan is disclosed after a demo request. Both approaches are legitimate, but one lets you cost your project before any sales conversation, the other does not.

The telephony layer, in the same subscription

Business number, inbound calls, voicemail, mobile and web apps: these functions do not appear on Minari's public pages, whose scope stops at the dialler and its sync into the CRM. At Skipcall, they live in the same tool as parallel dialling. So there is no second subscription to take out with a carrier for the rest of the organisation.

A €25 licence for the roles that do not prospect

In a company, not everyone calls prospects. Finance, support and management need a number, the ability to receive their calls and a mobile app, not a parallel dialler. At Skipcall, those roles take a Business VoIP licence at €25 per month, with 200 conversations, in the same directory and on the same invoice as the sales team. A specialised dialler does not cover that need.

What is included rather than an add on

Data enrichment is advertised as a paid add on by Minari. It is included at Skipcall, on demand, in every plan, in the same way as outbound call sequences, contacts, task management, the dashboard and separation by workspace. Add to that a fourth native integration, Attio, and a read only API. On equal scope, the comparison is not about the dialler alone.

Two families of tools, and only one that covers both

Most organisations that prospect end up with two subscriptions: a telephony tool for everyone, a dialler for the sales team. This is the real hidden cost of the market, and it appears on no price list.

Business telephony

Carriers and phone system vendors.

Reception, switchboard, call queues, customer service, international coverage, a broad catalogue of integrations.

No parallel dialling. Your sales reps are capped at the number of calls they can place one by one.

Specialised parallel diallers

This is Minari's family.

Simultaneous dialling on several lines, answering machine detection, call recording, call transcription and an AI generated summary. Very effective for prospecting.

No telephony layer. The rest of the organisation, which simply needs a number and the ability to receive calls, has to be equipped elsewhere. So a second subscription.

Skipcall

Both, in the same tool.

Parallel dialling on four lines, on a par with the best specialists, plus the full telephony layer: business number, inbound calls, voicemail, SMS, mobile and web apps.

Fewer reception features than a large telephony vendor. That is a deliberate choice: beyond a hundred employees or so, an inbound specialist is a better fit.

In practice: at Skipcall, a €25 licence is enough to equip someone who simply needs a business number, an app and the ability to receive their calls. The sales reps who prospect take a plan from €75, with parallel dialling. Same tool, same directory, same invoice. With a specialised dialler, those roles still have to be equipped elsewhere.

The dialling mode does not separate these two

Against a telephony vendor, parallel dialling would be the central argument. Against Minari, it is not: both tools dial several lines at once. Better to say so straight away and move the comparison to where it means something.

What both do the same way

Several numbers go out at the same time, four at Skipcall, up to five at Minari. As soon as someone answers, the other lines are released and the sales rep is connected. Both automatically filter out answering machines, no answers and invalid numbers, record the call, transcribe it and produce a summary. The waiting time between two calls disappears in both cases.

Where the scopes diverge

A company's day does not fit inside a dialling session. There are still inbound calls, voicemail, the business number of the colleagues who do not prospect, outbound call sequences, contacts, tasks and SMS. That is the set Skipcall carries in the same subscription, whereas a specialised dialler stops at the dialler and sends the rest to your CRM and to another carrier.

The table below puts figures on what parallel dialling changes compared with sequential dialling. It holds for both tools: it compares modes, not brands.

A typical day, hour by hour

Same sales rep, same list, same working hours. Only the dialling mode changes. Since Minari also dials in parallel, this table does not set it against Skipcall: it shows what a team gains when it leaves sequential dialling, and it holds for both.

Slot	What happens	Calls · sequential	Calls · parallel
09:00 to 10:30	First burst on the day's list	45	150
10:30 to 12:30	Rest of the list and scheduled callbacks	60	200
14:00 to 15:30	Second pass on the morning's no answers	45	150
15:30 to 17:30	Final burst and end of day notes	60	200
Total for the day		210	700
Conversations obtained		6	56

Stated assumptions: four working slots, an answer rate of 3% for sequential dialling, the top of our published range of 2 to 3%, and 8% for parallel dialling. These are the figures published by Skipcall, applied to dialling modes and not to brands. Between Skipcall and Minari, the decision is therefore made elsewhere: on the scope covered and on pricing transparency. The detail is in the Method and sources section, further down.

The cost per conversation, and why it can only be calculated on one side

What matters is not the price of a licence, it is what one conversation obtained costs. We calculate it for Skipcall, from the typical day above and twenty working days per month. We do not calculate it for Minari: the vendor publishes no pricing, and lending it an estimated amount would be of no value to you.

Minari

Quote based

no amount published

Offer: a single all inclusive plan

Access: on demo request

Advertised add on: paid enrichment

Skipcall Expert

€0.25

per conversation

Licence: €280 per month

Conversations: 1,120 per month

Minimum: none

The plan kept here is the one whose quota actually covers the projected volume: at this pace, Starter and its 400 conversations would be exceeded in the second week. The next section explains how to pick the right tier. On Minari's side, the same arithmetic is impossible as long as the price is unknown: ask for the full price list in writing, add ons included, and redo the calculation with that figure.

What each vendor publishes	Minari	Skipcall
Price displayed on the website	No amount	From €25 to €280 per licence
Structure of the offer	A single all inclusive plan	Four plans
Access to the offer	On demo request	Online subscription
Minimum number of licences	Not disclosed	None, one licence is enough

Skipcall amounts exclude tax, on monthly billing. Recorded from both vendors' official pages on 3 September 2026. An offer disclosed on request is not a flaw in itself: it simply obliges you to obtain the price list before comparing.

Our plans carry a conversation quota. Here is the one that suits you

Minari advertises unlimited calls in its single plan, Skipcall sets a quota on three of its four plans. Better to explain it clearly: picked badly, the plan becomes the real hidden cost.

Plan	Price	Conversations	Who it suits
Business VoIP	€25	200	Roles that need a business number and make a few calls a day, with no prospecting.
Starter	€75	400	A sales rep who prospects part time, or a team getting started. Around 20 conversations per working day.
Intermediate	€150	1,000	A sales rep whose main job is phone prospecting. Around 50 conversations per working day.
Expert	€280	Unlimited	Very high volume teams, and those who would rather not watch a counter.

Any conversation longer than ten seconds is counted. Calls shorter than ten seconds, answering machines and invalid numbers consume nothing. The SMS volume included runs from 100 to 1,000 per month depending on the plan, and becomes unlimited on Expert. The list of permitted calling countries is on the pricing page.

Our artificial intelligence serves the sales rep, it does not replace them

This is the fundamental difference between Skipcall and part of the market, in both directions: we put more of it in than the tools that have none, and we refuse to put it where others place it.

What our artificial intelligence does

It filters out voicemails, switchboards and invalid numbers before they ever reach the sales rep. It transcribes the call and produces a summary. In other words, it removes work that has no value and leaves the work that does.

What it does not do

It does not speak for you. We do not offer a voice agent, and that is not a feature we are behind on: it is a position. To call a prospect or answer a customer, the best person for your company's image is still a member of your team.

Why the relationship matters

A company that hands its conversations to a machine loses the direct link with its contacts. That link is hard to rebuild, and its weakening does not show up on a dashboard for several months.

Why cost matters too

Voice agents are billed by the minute or by credits consumed. The invoice follows the volume, it is hard to forecast, and the real effect on the customer relationship is hard to measure. A fixed price licence remains a budget you control.

In one sentence

We automate what wastes your sales reps' time, never the conversation itself.

Dialling, discarding an answering machine, spotting an invalid number, transcribing, summarising: the machine does it better and never tires. Talking to a customer or a prospect, no. That limit is also what makes your budget predictable: a fixed price licence, not per minute billing that follows your volume.

Minari scope recorded on minari.ai, product page and pricing page, on 3 September 2026. Not advertised means that the function does not appear on those public pages, and nothing more. Offers change: check with the vendor before deciding.

Method and sources

A comparison published by one of the two vendors is only worth something if its method can be checked. Here is where every figure on this page comes from, including what it does not prove.

Pricing

Skipcall prices are those of the public price list, excluding tax, on monthly billing. Minari displays no amount: its pricing page presents a single plan, described as all inclusive, and points to a demo request. So we write that its offer is quote based, and we calculate no cost on its side. The only public amount we found appears on the app listing in the HubSpot marketplace, which the marketplace itself presents as indicative: we do not treat it as Minari's price, and it feeds no calculation on this page.

Functional scope

Every row of the criterion by criterion table was recorded from Minari's public pages, product page and pricing page, on 3 September 2026. The wording Not advertised means the function does not appear on those pages, and nothing more: it is not an absence observed in the product. Conversely, call recording, call transcription and the AI generated summary are advertised by the vendor, and written here as such.

Answer rates

The 8% rate for parallel dialling and the 3% rate for sequential dialling, the top of our published range of 2 to 3%, are the figures Skipcall publishes on its product pages. They are our own figures, not an independent measurement, and they describe two dialling modes, not two brands. Since Minari also dials in parallel, they do not separate the two tools.

The typical day

The hourly table is an arithmetic projection based on the calling rates and the answer rates above, over four working slots and twenty working days per month. It is not the record of a real day, and it is not a comparison between Skipcall and Minari: it shows what parallel dialling changes compared with sequential dialling. Your own figures will depend on your list, your sector and your calling hours.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Minari cost? +

Minari displays no pricing on its website. Its pricing page presents a single plan, described as all inclusive, with enrichment of mobile numbers and email addresses as a paid add on, and points to a demo request. We publish no estimate: putting a figure on a vendor that does not publish one would be of no value to you. At Skipcall, the price list is public: €25 for a Business VoIP line, then €75, €150 and €280 per licence per month depending on the volume of conversations.

Does Minari record and transcribe calls? +

Yes. Its pricing page advertises call recordings, transcriptions and AI generated summaries in its single plan, and its product page describes the same scope. Skipcall offers all three functions in every plan. On this point, the two tools are equivalent.

How many lines does each tool dial in parallel? +

Minari advertises up to five prospects dialled at once, Skipcall dials four. The gap is real, but it narrows quickly in practice: beyond three or four lines, what limits a session is no longer the dialler but the number of reachable contacts in the queue. That is also why this page does not turn on the number of lines.

Is Skipcall cheaper than Minari? +

Impossible to say, and we will not say it: Minari does not publish its prices. What you can compare is what each vendor displays. Skipcall publishes its full price list and lets you subscribe online with no minimum number of licences, so you can cost a project before any sales conversation. With Minari, the amount will be disclosed after a demo. Ask for the full price list in writing, add ons included, before you compare.

Do you need a second tool for the rest of the organisation? +

With a specialised parallel dialler, yes: the colleagues who do not prospect still need a business number, the ability to receive calls and voicemail, and that is bought elsewhere. This is the real hidden cost of the market, and it appears on no price list. At Skipcall, a Business VoIP licence at €25 per month equips those roles in the same tool, the same directory and the same invoice as the sales team.

How many conversations are included in a Skipcall plan? +

400 per licence per month on the Starter plan, 1,000 on Intermediate, unlimited on Expert, and 200 on the Business VoIP plan. Any conversation longer than ten seconds is counted. Minari, for its part, advertises unlimited calls in its single plan. A sales rep who prospects full time usually goes past the Starter quota: Intermediate, or even Expert, is the plan that matches that use.

Do the two tools integrate with the same CRMs? +

Almost. Minari lists HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive among its native integrations, with two way sync, and Zapier, Make and n8n for automation. Skipcall offers four native integrations, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and Attio, plus a read only API to connect other tools. Worth noting: Skipcall does not offer click to call from a CRM record.

If you are still weighing up several tools

Alternative to Minari: eight solutions compared

This page answers which of the two. The other answers what to replace it with: the vendor's identity, data hosting, public reviews, an overview of eight solutions, and a ten day test protocol to separate two diallers on your own lists.
