# Kixie pricing in 2026: what it publishes, and an alternative

Kixie publishes no seat price; it quotes each team. What it does publish is what you pay around the seat: $0.011 a text to the US and Canada, $5 a month for each phone number after the first, a $50 prepaid balance for minutes and texts, and add-ons such as a $20 a user Do Not Call check. Aloware, which sells a competing dialer, reports Kixie quotes of about $95 to $215 a seat a month, and Kixie says figures on other sites are not its own. TalaLevel is a sales CRM with the dialer, texting, email and AI inside it, priced on its website from $47 a seat a month; Pro, at $97, includes 2,000 texts, three numbers and an AI that answers your leads.

## At a glance

Kixie is a calling and texting layer for the CRM you already have. It logs every call and text to HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive or HighLevel, and it doubles as a business phone system with phone trees and call queues. It quotes seat prices per team. TalaLevel is the CRM itself, with the dialer, texting, email and AI inside it, at prices printed on its website. Most of the differences below come from those two choices.

| | TalaLevel | Kixie |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it is | A sales CRM with a dialer, texting, email and AI | A calling and texting platform that works on top of your CRM |
| Seat price | $47, $97 or $247 a seat a month | Quoted per team |
| Smallest purchase | One seat | One seat; no minimum listed |
| How you buy | On the website, today | Trial on the website; the price comes from Kixie |
| Contract | Monthly, cancel anytime; or a year for the price of ten months | Monthly, quarterly or yearly billing; contracts on some accounts; no refunds |
| Trial | Seven days, card on file | Seven days, no card |
| Lines dialed at once | 1 on Dialer, up to 3 on Pro, up to 10 on Scale | 1 on Single-Line, up to 4 on Multi-Line |
| Calling included | Unlimited US calling | Unlimited US and Canada minutes, with a few exceptions; other countries by the minute |
| Texting | On Pro (2,000 a seat) and Scale (6,000 a seat) | On every plan, $0.011 a text to the US and Canada |
| Phone numbers | $2 a month each; 3 a seat on Pro, 10 on Scale | First one free, then $5 a month each |
| Email to leads | From each rep's Gmail, with follow-ups (Pro, Scale) | Through your CRM; its AI drafts a follow-up email you copy or send |
| AI that talks to your leads | Tala by text (Pro, Scale), Joey by phone (Scale) | A follow-up AI caller, in beta on some accounts |
| Help for reps and managers | Live call assistant (Pro, Scale); listen, whisper and take over (Scale) | AI call scores after the call; listen, whisper and barge on every plan |
| Recordings kept | 30 days on Dialer, a year on Pro and Scale | While the account is open; archived after 18 months |
| Your CRM | It is the CRM; sign in to the one you use now and your leads, deals and history come across, and if yours has to stay, the two stay connected | Needed for pipeline and deals: native HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive, HighLevel |
| Phone apps | None yet | iOS and Android; the dialer is a Chrome extension |

## Kixie pricing, and what you pay on top

Kixie publishes no seat price. Its pricing page lists three plans, Professional, Single-Line PowerDialer and Multi-Line PowerDialer, with no price next to any of them, and Kixie's own site says seat prices "are not published and are quoted per team." [Aloware](https://aloware.com/blog/kixie-pricing), which sells a competing dialer, reports Kixie quotes of about $95 to $215 a seat a month, and Kixie says figures on other sites are not its own. To know your price, you ask Kixie.

What Kixie does list is most of what it charges around the seat:

- **Texts.** $0.011 each to US and Canada numbers, says the pricing page; the help centre says $0.01 to $0.02, charged for every 160 characters. Incoming texts are free.
- **Phone numbers.** One free per agent, then $5 a month each.
- **A prepaid balance.** $50 when you first add a card, covering minutes and texts, charged again whenever it drops below $50.
- **Add-ons.** AI Human Voice Detection (Multi-Line only), ConnectionBoost, Conversation Intelligence and a Do Not Call check. The help centre prices two of them: the Do Not Call check is $20 a user a month, and ConnectionBoost's number reputation manager is $50 a user a month plus $1 a month per number. Kixie adds that most nationwide teams end up needing about 350 numbers, about $400 a month.
- **Onboarding.** Included with annual billing or above a certain account size; otherwise a fee it doesn't list.

TalaLevel prints three plans, priced per seat per month:

- **Dialer, $47.** The CRM (leads, lists, pipeline, calendar, reports), unlimited US calling, a power dialer on one line, recordings and transcripts kept 30 days. Phone numbers are $2 a month each.
- **Pro, $97.** Adds up to three lines at once, texting from your own numbers with the carrier registration done with you, 2,000 texts and three numbers a seat, Tala with 1,500 AI credits a seat, the live call assistant, email from your Gmail with follow-ups, and recordings and transcripts kept a year.
- **Scale, $247.** Adds up to ten lines, Joey the AI caller, 6,000 texts and ten numbers a seat, 5,000 AI credits a seat, listen, whisper and take over on reps' calls, an onboarding call and priority support.

A year costs ten months. More texts or credits are $10 per 1,000. A weekly spam check on every number is $100 a workspace a month.

Here is how it works out for TalaLevel Pro. Kixie's column only has what Kixie lists:

| | TalaLevel Pro | Kixie Multi-Line PowerDialer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| One rep, a month | $97 | Kixie's quote |
| Four reps, a month | 4 × $97 = $388 | 4 × Kixie's quote |
| Ten reps, a month | 10 × $97 = $970 | 10 × Kixie's quote |
| Ten reps, a year | 10 × $970 = $9,700 | Not listed |
| 2,000 texts a rep a month | Included | About $22 a rep at $0.011 a text; more for long texts |
| Three numbers a rep | Included | One free, then 2 × $5 = $10 a rep a month |
| Lines dialed at once | Up to 3 | Up to 4 |
| Pipeline and deals | Included | In your CRM, paid for separately |

For ten reps, the texts and numbers alone come to about $320 a month on Kixie ($220 of texts and $100 of numbers), before the seat price, any add-on and the CRM. TalaLevel Scale, with up to ten lines, the AI caller and coaching, is 10 × $247 = $2,470 a month for ten reps.

## Dialing

Both apps ring several lines and put the rep on the call. Kixie has more controls around the list and the phone number. TalaLevel's dialer sits inside the CRM, so the call, the text and the follow-up land on the same lead.

Kixie dials from PowerLists: a spreadsheet you upload, a HubSpot list, or contacts your CRM's workflows add. Each list has a priority, a number of lines (up to four on Multi-Line, by the pricing page), calling hours in each contact's time zone (worked out from the area code), a wait before a number is retried, and a cap on attempts a day. With the AI Human Detect add-on, Kixie listens for two to five seconds, skips voicemails and phone trees, and decides how many lines to dial. Without it, the rep gets the first call answered, person or machine. Voicemail drop is on every plan: Kixie waits for the beep and leaves your recording.

TalaLevel's dialer works from your lists in the CRM. It connects the first person who answers, leaves your recorded voicemail, answers call screeners in your recorded voice, knows each lead's local time, and tries each number on a lead in turn. That last part matters: on our own floor, 1 in 5 people we reached answered on a second or later number, and calling the no-answers again reached 73% more people.

Check what "answered" means in any dialer's report. On our floor a person answered 7% of our calls while the dialer reported 68% "answered". Kixie's PowerList report counts the same way: its Answered figure "includes instances where a call is actually answered by a recipient as well as instances when the call goes to voicemail." Its Connected figure counts calls that last longer than a time you set, three minutes by default.

**Local numbers and spam labels.** Kixie can show a local number from the numbers you buy. ConnectionBoost, an add-on, rotates through a shared pool of more than 50,000 local numbers; Kixie notes that other customers' calls can affect those numbers' reputation and offers a private pool through your account manager. Its reputation manager adds and retires numbers based on your last 30 days of calls and registers them with First Orion, and its Compliance page walks you through registering your business with the carriers. TalaLevel calls from your own number nearest the lead, by area code, then state, then time zone, and its weekly spam check, $100 a workspace a month, covers every number.

**Where you can call.** Kixie's unlimited minutes cover the US and Canada, plus UK and many EU landlines. A few calls fall outside it, such as incoming calls to toll-free numbers and remote parts of Alaska and Hawaii. Other countries are billed by the minute, and Kixie sells numbers in most of them. TalaLevel covers US calling and texting only.

**Where it runs.** Kixie's dialer is a Chrome extension, and Kixie says it "does not run natively in Safari, Edge, or Firefox." It has iOS and Android apps for calling, while power dialing stays in Chrome. TalaLevel has no phone app yet.

## Texting

Both apps text from your own numbers, on registered campaigns.

Kixie has texting on every plan: one-to-one texts, a shared team inbox, templates and picture messages. Cadences send a set sequence of calls and texts after a trigger, inside the contact's local hours, with a cap on how often one person hears from you. Each text comes out of your prepaid balance. You register your brand and campaign on its Compliance page, with a guide to what carriers approve.

TalaLevel has texting on Pro and Scale, 2,000 or 6,000 texts a seat a month, and does the carrier registration with you. Tala, the AI, answers leads who text your numbers, books calls and follows up. The texts sit on the lead next to the calls and emails.

## After the call

In Kixie, calls, texts, outcomes and recordings are logged to your CRM, and an outcome can start a workflow there. Email goes out through your CRM. Kixie's AI Dashboard writes a note to the CRM after each analyzed call, and drafts a follow-up email and text for you to copy or send. Recordings are kept while the account is open; after 18 months they are archived and come back through support.

In TalaLevel the follow-up happens where the call did. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarised onto the lead. The lead's status moves from what was said, and the follow-up a call left owed gets sent. On Pro and Scale, reps email from their own Gmail with follow-ups, from the same lead. Recordings and transcripts are kept 30 days on Dialer and a year on Pro and Scale.

If your records have to stay in another CRM, tell us and we connect it with you.

## AI

Both apps use AI, mostly for different jobs. Kixie's looks back at calls. TalaLevel's works with your leads and helps during the call.

Kixie's AI:

- **AI Dashboard**, on every plan. It scores each analyzed call out of 100 against a playbook you write, marks the moment worth coaching, searches transcripts by meaning and answers questions about your team in plain words. Calls show up 30 to 45 minutes after they end; calls under two minutes aren't transcribed, and calls with under 60 seconds of speech aren't scored.
- **AI Human Detect**, an add-on, tells a person from a machine while dialing.
- **A follow-up AI agent**, in beta and switched on account by account. It calls a contact back after a rep logs an outcome you choose, says it's an AI assistant, and books a time with the rep.

Kixie's help centre doesn't describe an AI that answers a lead's texts or one that helps the rep mid-call.

TalaLevel's AI:

- **Tala** answers leads by text from your own numbers, books calls and follows up. Pro includes 1,500 AI credits a seat and Scale 5,000.
- **The live call assistant** (Pro and Scale) works during the call, while it can still change the outcome.
- **Joey** (Scale) is an AI caller.
- **Every call** is recorded, transcribed and summarised onto the lead.

## Coaching and reports

Kixie puts live coaching on every plan: a manager can listen to a rep's call, whisper to the rep, or speak to both sides. It adds live leaderboards, and the AI Dashboard picks up to three reps a week to talk to, with a score and a trend for each.

TalaLevel has listen, whisper and take over on Scale, and the live call assistant on Pro and Scale gives the rep the next line while the lead is still on the phone. Reports sit in the CRM next to the leads they count.

## Setup, support and who each is built for

Kixie's trial takes a couple of minutes and needs no card. You install its Chrome dialer and connect your CRM. Onboarding, two to three weeks with three or four calls, comes with annual billing or a larger account; otherwise it's a paid extra. Kixie is built for sales teams that already run HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive or HighLevel, and for teams that take inbound calls as well as make them.

Kixie is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 866 reviews on [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/kixie-powercall-sms/reviews), where reviewers praise its CRM logging and local numbers. On [Trustpilot](https://ch.trustpilot.com/review/kixie.com) it's 2.9 out of 5 from 105 reviews, and most of its 2026 reviews there are one-star reviews saying support is hard to reach ([one example](https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6a99d4d0220458fe947f0e77)).

TalaLevel is bought on its website. Pick a plan and start the seven-day trial; on Pro and Scale we do the carrier registration for your texts with you. Scale includes an onboarding call and priority support. It's built for any team that sells by phone and text, from one person to a full floor, and sales teams beyond our own floor run on it today.

## Which to pick

### Pick TalaLevel if

- You want to see the price before you talk to anyone, and pay by the month.
- You want one app for the CRM, calls, texts and email, instead of a dialer on top of a CRM.
- You want texts and numbers inside the seat price, not charged one by one from a balance.
- Your leads text, fill in forms after hours or need chasing, and you want an AI to answer them from your own numbers.
- You want help on the call while it's happening, not only a score afterwards.
- You run a larger floor and want a monthly price you can read off the website instead of a quote: Scale dials up to ten lines at once for $247 a seat, with listen, whisper and take over.

### Pick Kixie if

- Your team already works in HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive or HighLevel and wants calls and texts logged there, with a Zapier app alongside.
- You call Canada or other countries, need numbers outside the US, or want phone apps.
- You need an inbound phone system too, with phone trees and call queues, and coaching on every seat.

## Questions

### How much does Kixie cost?

Kixie publishes no seat price; it quotes each team. Its pricing page lists three plans, Professional, Single-Line PowerDialer and Multi-Line PowerDialer, with no price on any of them. What it does publish: $0.011 a text to US and Canada numbers, $5 a month for each phone number after an agent's first, a $50 prepaid balance for minutes and texts when you add a card, and in its help centre a $20 a user Do Not Call check and a number reputation add-on at $50 a user plus $1 a number a month. Aloware, which sells a competing dialer, reports Kixie quotes of about $95 to $215 a seat a month, and Kixie says figures on other sites are not its own.

### What is a good Kixie alternative?

TalaLevel, if you want the dialer, the CRM, texting, email and AI in one app at a price you can see before you talk to anyone. Pro is $97 a seat a month, dials up to three lines at once, and includes 2,000 texts and three numbers a seat. There is no seat minimum and no demo call: you sign up on the website and pay by the month.

### Is Kixie a CRM?

No. Kixie works alongside your CRM rather than replacing it. You can dial a spreadsheet you upload without one, but pipeline and deals live in your CRM; HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive and HighLevel connect natively. TalaLevel is the CRM, with leads, lists, pipeline, calendar and reports on every plan.

### How many lines can Kixie dial at once?

Kixie's pricing page lists one line on Single-Line PowerDialer and up to four on Multi-Line PowerDialer, though its help centre still describes a ten-line tier. TalaLevel dials one line on Dialer, up to three on Pro and up to ten on Scale, at a published price.

### Does Kixie charge for text messages?

Yes. Kixie's pricing page puts texts to US and Canada numbers at $0.011 each, and its help centre says $0.01 to $0.02, charged for every 160 characters and taken from a prepaid balance. Incoming texts are free. TalaLevel's Pro plan includes 2,000 texts a seat a month and Scale 6,000; more are $10 per 1,000.

### Does Kixie have a free trial?

Yes, seven days with no credit card, using its Chrome dialer. TalaLevel's trial is also seven days, with a card on file.

### Is local presence included with Kixie?

Kixie can show a local number that matches the lead's area code, using numbers you buy at $5 a month each after the first. Its rotating pool of local numbers, ConnectionBoost, is an add-on, and the number reputation manager that goes with it is $50 a user a month plus $1 a month per number. TalaLevel calls from your number nearest the lead, by area code, then state, then time zone, and Pro includes three numbers a seat.

### Can I cancel Kixie at any time?

A standard Kixie account has no minimum term, but contract accounts can only remove seats in the last 30 days of the term. Cancelling is a request to Kixie's team rather than a setting: you email support and fill in an exit survey. Their terms say payments are not refunded. TalaLevel is billed monthly and you can cancel anytime.

### Where is Kixie ahead of TalaLevel?

Kixie's unlimited minutes cover Canada as well as the US, it calls and sells numbers in other countries, it has iOS and Android apps, and it connects natively to HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive and HighLevel, with a Zapier app and Microsoft 365. It also has a trial without a card, keeps recordings for as long as your account is open, puts listen, whisper and barge on every plan, and doubles as an inbound phone system. TalaLevel has what Kixie doesn't: the CRM itself, texts and numbers inside a published seat price, email from your Gmail, an AI that answers leads by text, and a live assistant during the call.
