The AI power dialer that calls 4 numbers at once.

A power dialer is software that automatically dials phone numbers from a prospect list one by one, without any manual action from the sales rep. As soon as a call ends, the next one starts. The goal: eliminate the 6–10 seconds of manual dialing between each call so you can go from 20–25 to 60–80 calls per hour. It's the baseline tool for any SDR doing cold calling.

A classic (sequential) power dialer lets you make 60–80 calls per hour, compared to 20–25 with manual dialing. An AI parallel dialer like Skipcall, which dials 4 numbers in parallel and filters voicemails, reaches 150–200+ calls per hour — that's 3.5x more real conversations.

A power dialer dials one number at a time as soon as the agent is available. A predictive dialer anticipates demand: it dials more numbers than available agents, estimating pick-up rates statistically — which can cause abandoned calls (the prospect answers but no one is there). Predictive dialers are used in large B2C call centers. Power dialers are the standard B2B SDR tool. Skipcall offers a third path: the parallel dialer, which combines the volume of predictive with the control of power, without any abandoned calls.

A power dialer dials 1 line at a time. A parallel dialer dials several simultaneously (4 with Skipcall), and drops the others the instant a human picks up. Result: 3–4x more conversations per hour, zero voicemail listening. If you make more than 30 calls per day, a parallel dialer is systematically more cost-effective — it's been the standard for high-performing SDR teams since 2023.

Yes, with conditions depending on your country. In Europe, GDPR rules apply: legal basis, right to object, and clear notification when recording calls. In France, the Bloctel list restricts cold-calling consumers. For B2B prospecting with legitimate opt-in data, power dialing is fully legal. Skipcall includes GDPR compliance, EU hosting, and configurable call recording notifications in all plans.

A classic power dialer costs between €40 and €150 per month per seat, depending on features (transcription, recording, call volume). Skipcall starts at €75/month per SDR seat — 4-line parallel dialer + AI transcription + SMS sequences included from the Starter plan, where an equivalent Aircall setup (Professional + AI Assist) runs €80+ per seat with a 3-seat minimum.

HubSpot and Pipedrive: yes, native two-way integration. Every call, note, and disposition is automatically pushed to the CRM. Salesforce: in development. For any other CRM (Attio, Close, Zoho…), the open REST API lets you connect Skipcall in a few hours.

5 minutes. Create your account, import your list (CSV or from your CRM), launch your campaign. No software to install, no hardware required. Everything runs in the browser with a simple headset. If you know how to use a phone, you know how to use Skipcall.

Yes. All outbound calls are automatically recorded and transcribed, included from the Starter plan at €75/month — no paid add-on required. Transcripts are searchable (find any word spoken) and can be used for coaching, training, and quality analysis.

Yes. The Starter at €75/month works from a single seat, whereas Aircall requires a minimum of 3. Prospecting agencies use the multi-client Workspace to isolate data per account and invoice cleanly. A freelance SDR can start solo and triple their call volume from day one.

No real professional power dialer is free in the B2B market. A few Chrome extensions offer a limited mode (auto-dialing, no filtering, no CRM), but they can't handle more than 20 calls/day. Serious solutions start at €40/month (Aircall Essentials, no power dialer included) or €75/month (Skipcall, parallel dialer included). To test without commitment, Skipcall offers a product demo and a trial period with no credit card required.

Asterisk is an open-source PBX that can technically function as a power dialer via the AMI module or custom scripts. But it requires a dedicated telecom engineer, sized servers, and no native CRM integration. In practice: 3–6 months of setup, infrastructure costs of €500–2,000/month. For a B2B outbound team, a turnkey SaaS like Skipcall is 10x more cost-effective than maintaining an Asterisk setup.

Yes: GOautodial, ViciDial, OMniLeads, and Asterisk-based setups. They're used by large B2C call centers (telemarketing, collections). For a modern B2B SDR team, they lack: native CRM integration, AI transcription, AI voicemail detection, out-of-the-box GDPR compliance, and above all, usable UX. The total cost of ownership (TCO) of a self-hosted ViciDial quickly exceeds the price of Skipcall once you factor in the telecom engineer.

Not really. A professional power dialer runs in the browser (WebRTC) or as a desktop app, because dialing 4 parallel lines requires a stable connection, a headset, and a screen to view the CRM contact card. On mobile, manual dialing via the Skipcall app is possible for cold follow-ups, but it's not the primary use case. All high-performing SDRs work with headset + desktop.

Some power dialers integrated into a full telephony solution (Aircall, Ringover) handle both inbound and outbound. Others, like Skipcall, are 100% outbound-focused — the power of the AI parallel dialer at the cost of basic inbound handling. If your need is mixed (support + prospecting), look at a unified telephony platform. If your need is 100% outbound prospecting (SDR, BDR, agencies), Skipcall is the most cost-effective specialized tool.
