Skipcall vs Ringover: which one to choose
Both tools place calls, but they do not dial the same way and they do not serve the same job. This page settles one question: which of the two for your team. It compares the dialling modes, a full working day, the cost per conversation and the quotas, with the calculation method shown.

The verdict, in three lines
The deciding factor is neither the price nor the feature list: it is the size of your company and the share of inbound calls in your business.
Choose Ringover if
You have more than a hundred employees, or answering the phone is a job in itself.
Advanced interactive voice response, intelligent routing, ring groups, queues, video conferencing, omnichannel messaging and more than a hundred integrations. Past a certain size, call handling becomes a project of its own, and that is the ground of the large telephony vendors. Skipcall does not claim to cover it.
Choose Skipcall if
You have fewer than a hundred employees and a team that prospects from France.
One tool for the whole company: 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. That is where Skipcall belongs.
If you are still weighing up several tools and not only these two, the page on alternatives to Ringover compares eight solutions on the market and details the company, the hosting and the reviews of each one.
What Ringover does better than us
Four areas where the choice is not up for debate. Knowing them before you buy avoids a project that goes off the rails in its third month.
The contact centre layer
Skipcall receives calls on your numbers, with voicemail and mobile and web apps. What it does not have is the layer above: interactive voice response, intelligent routing, ring groups, queues, real time supervision. A structured customer service team needs that layer, and Ringover provides it from its middle plan.
The integration catalogue
Ringover advertises more than a hundred integrations, across CRM, ATS and support tools. Skipcall offers four natively: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and Attio, plus an API to connect the rest. If your software stack relies on ready made connectors, the Ringover catalogue is clearly the richer one.
The scope beyond voice
Video conferencing, omnichannel messaging as a €29 per licence add-on, the AIRO voice agent billed by the minute, call campaigns and scripts on the top plan. Ringover covers ground that Skipcall does not cover and does not seek to cover: we only do voice, and deliberately no voice agent.
Organisations of more than a hundred people
Past a hundred or so employees, telephony becomes a project in its own right: several sites, several departments, local numbers in several countries, call handling rules and contractual service levels. Ringover and the other large vendors are equipped for that. Skipcall is built for smaller structures, where one team prospects and the rest of the company simply needs to make and take calls.
What Skipcall does better than Ringover
The same exercise in reverse, and open to the same checks: four areas where the gap runs our way.
Parallel dialling in France
The Ringover help centre limits parallel dialling to the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom. It is a paid add-on, tied to the power dialler and therefore to the BUSINESS or ADVANCED plans, and it dials two calls at a time. Skipcall dials four, in France, from the Starter plan, and its artificial intelligence screens out answering machines before they reach the sales rep.
Call sequences included
At Ringover, sequences belong to the Cadence add-on, billed at €59 per licence per month on top of the licence. At Skipcall they are included in the prospecting plans, along with contacts, call transcription, call summary and data enrichment. On equal scope, the advertised price gap is not the real price gap.
The entry ticket
The BUSINESS and ADVANCED plans from Ringover require three licences minimum and a twelve month commitment, which puts the real entry price of the first plan with a dialler at €141 per month, even for a single sales rep. At Skipcall there is no minimum: one licence is enough, the monthly subscription carries no commitment, and the first month costs the price of one licence.
The cost per conversation
On the working day detailed below, a conversation costs €0.25 with Skipcall against €0.39 with the BUSINESS plan from Ringover, even though our licence is the more expensive of the two and the Cadence add-on is not counted on the Ringover side. That is the gap between a subscription price and a cost of use.
Two families of tools, and only one that covers both
Most companies that prospect end up with two subscriptions: a telephony tool for everyone, a dialler for the sales reps. That is the real hidden cost of this market, and it appears on no price list.
Business telephony
This is the Ringover family.
Reception, switchboard, interactive voice response, queues, customer service, international coverage, a broad integration catalogue.
Dialling stays limited: one number at a time. Your sales reps are capped at the number of calls they can place one by one.
Specialist parallel diallers
Tools built for a single job.
Simultaneous dialling on several lines, answering machine detection, callback cadences. Very effective in prospecting.
No telephony layer at all. The rest of the company, which just needs a number and the ability to take 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 complete telephony layer: business number, inbound calls, voicemail, SMS, mobile and web apps.
Fewer call handling features than a large telephony vendor. That is a deliberate choice: past a hundred or so employees, an inbound specialist is the 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 take calls. The sales reps who prospect take a plan from €75, with parallel dialling. Same tool, same directory, same invoice, and no licence minimum in either case.
It all comes down to the dialling mode
Sequential dialling
One number is dialled, the line rings, then the call connects or it does not. Only at the end of that sequence does the next number go out. The sales rep waits through the ringing, listens to the start of answering machine greetings and hangs up. That is how the Ringover power dialler works, included from the BUSINESS plan.
Parallel dialling
Four numbers go out at the same time. As soon as someone picks up, the other three lines are released and the sales rep is connected. Filtering by artificial intelligence screens out answering machines, switchboards and invalid numbers before they reach them. The waiting time between two calls disappears, and that changes the number of conversations obtained for the same working time.
The point to check before you sign
Ringover does offer parallel dialling, but as a paid add-on bought separately, tied to the power dialler and therefore to the BUSINESS or ADVANCED plans. Its help centre states that it is available in the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom, and that it dials two calls in parallel. France does not appear on that list. If your team calls from France, the sequential power dialler is what applies.
The difference is not about voice quality or how rich the software is: it is about the number of attempts possible in one hour of work. That is what the next table puts into figures.
A typical working day, hour by hour
Same sales rep, same list, same working time. Only the dialling mode changes.
| Slot | What happens | Calls · sequential | Calls · parallel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09:00 to 10:30 | First run through the list of the day | 45 | 150 |
| 10:30 to 12:30 | Rest of the list and scheduled callbacks | 60 | 200 |
| 14:00 to 15:30 | Back to the numbers missed in the morning | 45 | 150 |
| 15:30 to 17:30 | Final run and end of day notes | 60 | 200 |
| Total for the day | 210 | 700 | |
| Conversations obtained | 6 | 56 | |
Assumptions shown: 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, and we use the top of our range on the sequential side. The detail is in the “Method and sources” section, below.
The one table that settles it: the cost per conversation
Comparing two licence prices teaches you nothing when the two tools do not dial the same way. What counts is what one conversation obtained costs. Here is the calculation, from the working day above and twenty working days a month.
Ringover BUSINESS
€0.39
per conversation
Licence: €47 per month
Conversations: 120 per month
Minimum: 3 licences, 12 months
Skipcall Expert
€0.25
per conversation
Licence: €280 per month
Conversations: 1,120 per month
Minimum: none, no commitment
The Skipcall licence is the more expensive one, and yet the conversation costs less. That is the whole gap between a subscription price and a cost of use. The plan used here is the one whose quota actually covers the projected volume: at this pace, the 1,000 conversations of the Intermediate would be used up in the last week of the month. The next point explains how to pick the right tier. On the Ringover side, the minimum of three licences and the twelve month commitment put the real entry price of the first plan with a dialler at €141 per month, even for a single sales rep.
Amounts excluding tax. Ringover prices on annual billing, Skipcall prices on monthly billing. The Cadence add-on, at €59 per licence per month, which unlocks call sequences at Ringover, is not counted here, even though the sequences are included on the Skipcall side.

Our plans include a conversation quota. Here is the one that suits you
Ringover bills per licence and not per conversation; Skipcall applies a quota on three of its four plans. Better to explain it clearly: chosen badly, the plan becomes the real hidden cost.
| Plan | Price | Conversations | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business VoIP | €25 | 200 | Anyone who needs a business number and 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. Included SMS run from 100 a month on Business VoIP to 1,000 on the Expert. The list of authorised 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 in more of it than the tools that have none, and we refuse to put it where others place it.
What our artificial intelligence does
It screens out answering machines, switchboards and invalid numbers before they reach the sales rep. It transcribes the call and produces a summary. In other words, it removes the 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 this is not a feature we are late on: it is a position. To call a prospect or answer a customer, the best person for your company image is still someone on 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 erosion shows up on no 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 stays a budget you control.
In one sentence
We automate what wastes the time of your sales reps, never the conversation itself.
Dialling, screening out 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, and not per minute billing that follows your volume.

Ringover scope recorded on ringover.fr and in its help centre on 3 September 2026. The wording “not advertised” means that the feature does not appear in the public documentation of the vendor on that date, and not that it is impossible. Plans change: check the pricing page of the vendor before you decide.
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.
The prices
Skipcall prices are those of the public price list, excluding tax, on monthly billing. Ringover prices are those shown on ringover.fr on annual billing, excluding tax: the TALK plan at €20 per licence per month, the BUSINESS plan at €47, the ADVANCED plan on request. The BUSINESS and ADVANCED plans require three licences minimum and a twelve month commitment. Both vendors bill in euros, so no currency conversion enters the calculations on this page.
What the calculation leaves out
On the Ringover side, call sequences belong to the Cadence add-on at €59 per licence per month, and omnichannel messaging to a €29 add-on. Neither is added to the cost used in the table, even though sequences are included in our plans. The calculation is therefore deliberately conservative, and unfavourable to Skipcall.
The answer rates
The rate of 8% for parallel dialling and the rate of 3% for sequential dialling, the top of our published range of 2 to 3%, are the figures Skipcall publishes on its product pages. We use 3% here, the top of our own range, so as not to force the result. These are our figures, not an independent measurement, and they are attributed to no named vendor: they describe two dialling modes, not two brands.
The working day
The hourly table is an arithmetic projection based on the dialling paces and the rates above, over four working slots and twenty working days a month. It is not the record of a real day. Your figures will depend on your list, your sector and your calling hours.

One plan per person, not one licence for the whole team
In a team of ten, needs are not the same. An SDR placing hundreds of calls a day, an account executive placing a handful and a head of sales who mainly needs a business line have no business being on the same plan. The usual market model still has all ten taking the same licence.
An SDR on the Expert plan, an account executive on Starter, a founder on the Business VoIP line. The plan follows the person's usage rather than the team average, and it changes without changing account: the number, the call history and the contacts stay.
Many parallel diallers plug into a telephony provider you contract separately: two tools, two invoices, two support desks. Here the line, the dialler, the contacts and the sequences sit in the same tool.
No minimum of three, six or nine licences to reach the right offering. One invoice for the company, itemised user by user.
Worth checking with Ringover: whether each team member can sit on a different plan, or whether the licence you choose applies to everyone. Multi-plan in detail.

Frequently asked questions
Does Ringover have a parallel dialler? +
Yes, but not in France. The Ringover help centre states that the feature is available in the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom. It is a paid add-on, bought separately and tied to the power dialler, and therefore to the BUSINESS or ADVANCED plans, and the system dials two calls in parallel. Skipcall dials four, in France, and includes it from the Starter plan.
Is call transcription an add-on with Ringover? +
No, and this is a point of parity between the two tools: recording, transcription and call summary are included from the TALK plan at Ringover, as they are in every Skipcall plan. This criterion does not separate the two solutions.
Is Skipcall cheaper than Ringover? +
Per licence, no: the Starter plan is €75 while the BUSINESS plan from Ringover is €47 on annual billing. Per conversation obtained, yes, because parallel dialling produces more conversations for the same working time. That is the only comparison that means anything between two tools that do not dial the same way. The cost per conversation table, higher up this page, sets out the calculation.
Does Skipcall handle inbound calls like Ringover? +
Only in part. Skipcall receives calls on your numbers, with voicemail and mobile and web apps. It offers no interactive voice response, no queue, no distribution to a group of agents and no real time supervision. If your team has to handle a flow of support or customer service calls, Ringover is the better fit.
How many conversations are included in a Skipcall plan? +
400 per licence per month on the Starter plan, 1,000 on the Intermediate, no limit on the Expert, and 200 on the Business VoIP offer. Any conversation longer than ten seconds is counted. A sales rep who prospects full time usually goes past the Starter quota: the Intermediate, or even the Expert, is the plan that matches that use.
Is there a minimum number of licences? +
At Ringover, the pricing page states three users minimum and a twelve month commitment on the BUSINESS and ADVANCED plans, which puts the real entry price of the first plan with a dialler at €141 per month. At Skipcall there is no minimum: one licence is enough, the monthly subscription carries no commitment, and the first month costs the price of one licence.
Are call sequences included in both tools? +
No. At Ringover, sequences belong to the Cadence add-on, billed at €59 per licence per month on top of the licence. At Skipcall they are included in the prospecting plans. Our sequences orchestrate outbound calls only: they trigger no automatic SMS and no automatic email.
