Nooks pricing in 2026: what buyers pay, and an alternative
A year
Ten reps on TalaLevel
A Nooks contract
Nooks doesn’t publish prices. Its pricing page is a form for a custom quote, and you buy through a demo and an order form that renews itself. Vendr, which tracks software deals, lists the median Nooks contract at $30,105 a year across 59 purchases. The alternative, TalaLevel, is a sales CRM with the dialer, texting, email and AI inside it, priced on its website at $47, $97 or $247 a seat a month, paid monthly, with no seat minimum. Nooks is a dialer, sequencing and coaching platform that sits on top of Salesforce or HubSpot.
At a glance
Nooks sells an AI dialer with a virtual salesfloor, plus sequencing, coaching and contact data, which together it calls a revenue agent platform. It sits on top of Salesforce or HubSpot. TalaLevel is the CRM itself, with the dialer, texting, email and AI inside it. Most of the differences below come from that one choice.
| TalaLevel | Nooks |
|
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A sales CRM with a dialer, texting, email and AI | A dialer, sequencing and coaching platform on top of your CRM |
| Published price | $47, $97 or $247 a seat a month | None; a custom quote form |
| What buyers pay | The published price | Vendr lists a median of $30,105 a year (59 purchases) |
| Smallest purchase | One seat | None stated; Vendr lists five seats as typical |
| How you buy | On the website, today | A demo, a quote and an order form |
| Contract | Monthly, cancel anytime; or a year for the price of ten months | Length set in the order form; renews itself unless you give 30 days’ notice |
| Lines dialed at once | 1 on Dialer, up to 3 on Pro, up to 10 on Scale | 2 to 5, or Turbo mode averaging about 6 |
| Texting | From your own numbers, carrier registration done with you (Pro, Scale) | SMS listed as a sequencing channel |
| From each rep’s Gmail (Pro, Scale) | From Gmail or Outlook, up to 10 mailboxes | |
| AI that answers your leads | Tala by text (Pro, Scale); Joey, an AI caller (Scale) | Inbound Agents announced for early 2027 |
| Help on the call | Live call assistant (Pro, Scale); listen, whisper and take over (Scale) | Live Battlecards on trigger words (a separate seat); shadow and whisper |
| Calling outside the US | No | An add-on, to 200+ countries |
| Security papers | No SOC 2 report yet | SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 |
| 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 | Required: Salesforce or HubSpot, or a CSV upload for the dialer alone |
Nooks pricing, and what you buy alongside it
Nooks’ pricing page is a form headed “Get Nooks pricing” with no plans, seat counts or contract lengths, and the main button on the site books a 30-minute demo. Its outbound page says the dialer and its agents come in two packages, Core and Pro, with no price on either, and the help centre mentions separate seats for parallel dialing, the AI coaching assistant and international calling.
Nooks doesn’t publish a price, so the best public number is Vendr’s. Vendr, which tracks software deals, lists a median Nooks contract of $30,105 a year across 59 purchases, with deals from $7,674 to $150,897. The same page puts Nooks at $65 to $150 or more per user a month on annual contracts, depending on tier, with five seats as a typical minimum. Blogs from other sales companies put a seat anywhere from about $4,000 a year to $700 a month. Your own number comes from the demo and the quote.
The contract matters as much as the price. Nooks’ terms leave the length to the order form and renew it automatically for the same length, unless either side asks to end it at least 30 days before the term is up.
TalaLevel’s price is on its website, 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, and a weekly spam check on every number is $100 a workspace a month.
Then there is what sits next to the bill. Nooks’ pricing FAQ says it works with HubSpot and Salesforce, and that with any other CRM you can use the dialer by uploading a CSV. So a Nooks seat comes on top of a CRM seat. Nooks says its sequencing can replace Outreach or Salesloft, so you may not need a separate sequencer, and some of its contact data passes through ZoomInfo, Cognism or LeadIQ, which need their own subscriptions. A TalaLevel seat is the CRM, and on Pro and Scale it is the texting and email as well.
Worked through for one rep, four reps and ten reps:
| TalaLevel Pro | TalaLevel Scale | Nooks |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| One rep, a month | $97 | $247 | Quote only |
| Four reps, a month | 4 × $97 = $388 | 4 × $247 = $988 | Quote only |
| Ten reps, a month | 10 × $97 = $970 | 10 × $247 = $2,470 | Quote only |
| Ten reps, a year | 10 × $970 = $9,700 | 10 × $2,470 = $24,700 | Quote only |
| Also needed | Nothing | Nothing | Salesforce or HubSpot |
A rep who only needs to call can start on Dialer at $47 a month. For scale, the $30,105 median Vendr lists would pay for a year of TalaLevel Scale, with ten lines and the AI caller, for twelve reps (12 × $2,470 = $29,640).
Dialing
Both apps ring several lines at once and put the rep on the call when a person answers. TalaLevel’s dialer sits inside the CRM, so the call, the text and the follow-up are on the same lead.
TalaLevel rings several lines and connects the first person who answers. It leaves your recorded voicemail and answers call screeners in your recorded voice. It calls from a number near the lead, by area code, then state, then time zone, and knows the lead’s local time. It tries each number on a lead in turn: on our own floor, 1 in 5 of the people we reached answered on a second or later number. A weekly spam check on every number is $100 a workspace a month. TalaLevel doesn’t score numbers or enrich them, and it calls in the US only.
In Nooks a rep picks two to five lines. Adaptive mode starts from that number and drops to as few as one line when a pickup looks likely. Turbo mode adds lines as the predicted risk allows and averages about six. Both need a parallel dialing seat and a workspace that shares call data with Nooks. Each number shows a pickup likelihood, from two flames down to a snowflake. In parallel modes Nooks works through phone menus for you; a receptionist connects to you unless you turn on Skip Gatekeepers. It leaves your recorded voicemail at the beep. Smart Presence picks the outgoing number from your call history and where the prospect is, for US and Canadian numbers, and Nooks rotates numbers, registers them with carriers and watches their reputation. When one line connects, the other calls hang up and stay on your list.
Whichever you pick, judge it by people reached, not by what the dialer counts as answered. On our own floor, a person answered 7% of our calls while the dialer reported 68% “answered”.
After the connect
Nooks logs calls, notes and next steps to Salesforce and syncs both ways with HubSpot. Calls are recorded, transcribed and searchable in a call library, and recordings stay until an admin sets a deletion period. The follow-up happens in Nooks AI Sequencing, with email from Gmail or Outlook, SMS, LinkedIn and call steps, or in Outreach or Salesloft if you keep them. Nooks’ AI drafts emails from the account’s news and history, and admins decide what its agents send on their own and what waits for a rep’s approval.
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 is sent. On Pro and Scale you text from your own numbers, with the carrier registration done with you, and email from your Gmail with follow-ups. Recordings and transcripts are kept 30 days on Dialer and a year on Pro and Scale.
If your follow-up has steps of its own, we build that workflow with you. TalaLevel has no self-serve workflow builder.
AI
Nooks’ AI works mostly for the rep and the manager: research, drafts, scoring and practice. TalaLevel’s also works with your leads directly.
Nooks has:
- Live Battlecards. A talk track appears when the prospect says a trigger word your team has set, such as a competitor’s name. Live cards come with a separate AI Coaching Assistant seat.
- AI Training Bots. Voice roleplay with a bot built from your buyer persona and your team’s recorded calls.
- AI Prospecting Assistant and Outbound Agents. They find accounts and contacts, research them and draft first emails. On Nooks’ Pro package, agents also run in the background on triggers and schedules.
- More on the way. Node, an AI assistant that works each rep’s deals, has a waitlist and is due for general release in early 2027. Inbound Agents are announced for the first quarter of 2027.
TalaLevel has:
- Tala (Pro and Scale) answers leads by text, books calls and follows up. Pro includes 1,500 AI credits a seat, Scale 5,000.
- The live call assistant (Pro and Scale) listens to the call; when the lead pushes back, a suggested next line appears on screen.
- Joey (Scale), an AI caller.
Coaching and reports
Nooks puts most of its coaching around the call. Its virtual salesfloor lets reps shadow live calls, get whisper coaching from managers and celebrate wins, with leaderboards. AI scores calls, finds skill gaps and builds roleplays to fix them, and dashboards show rep-level scores and peer benchmarks.
TalaLevel puts its help on the call. The live call assistant gives the rep a next line while the call can still change. On Scale a manager can listen to a rep’s call, whisper so only the rep hears, or take the call over. Reports come with every plan. TalaLevel has no roleplay or call scorecards.
Setup and who each is built for
Nooks is bought through a demo, a quote and an order form, and new users sign in through a workspace link from their account team. You connect Salesforce or HubSpot, and Outreach or Salesloft if you use them; Nooks says rollout takes weeks. It is built for B2B sales development teams working lists out of Salesforce or HubSpot, says it serves more than 2,000 companies, and has SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification for the procurement review.
TalaLevel is bought on its website. Pick a plan and start the seven-day trial with a card on file; there is no demo call. Scale includes an onboarding call and priority support. If your own CRM has to stay, we connect it with you. It is built for any team that sells by phone and text, from one rep to a full floor, and sales teams outside our own floor run on it today. It calls and texts in the US only, has no iOS or Android app, and emails through Gmail only.

Questions
- How much does Nooks cost?
- Nooks doesn’t publish prices. Its pricing page shows no plans or figures, only a form to get a custom quote. Vendr, which tracks software deals, lists a median Nooks contract of $30,105 a year across 59 purchases, with deals from $7,674 to $150,897, per-user prices of $65 to $150 or more a month on annual contracts, depending on tier, and five seats as a typical minimum. Blogs from other sales companies put a seat anywhere from about $4,000 a year to $700 a month. Your own number comes from a demo and a quote.
- Is there a cheaper Nooks alternative?
- TalaLevel shows its price on its website. Pro is $97 a seat a month, dials up to three lines at once and includes the CRM, texting, email and an AI that answers your leads, with no seat minimum and no annual contract. Ten reps on Pro cost $970 a month.
- Can I sign up for Nooks without a demo?
- Not that we can see. Nooks’ site offers a 30-minute demo and a quote form, and its help centre has new users sign in through a workspace link from their Nooks account team. TalaLevel is bought on its website with a seven-day trial and billed by the month.
- Can I cancel Nooks at any time?
- Nooks’ terms set the contract length in your order form and renew it automatically for the same length, unless either side asks to end it at least 30 days before the term is up. TalaLevel is monthly and you can cancel anytime; a year, if you want one, costs ten months.
- How many lines can Nooks and TalaLevel dial at once?
- In Nooks a rep picks two to five lines. Its Adaptive mode drops lines when a pickup looks likely, and its Turbo mode adds them, averaging about six. TalaLevel’s Dialer plan dials one line, Pro up to three and Scale up to ten.
- Does Nooks send texts and emails?
- Yes, through Nooks AI Sequencing, which Nooks says can replace Outreach and Salesloft. It sends email from Gmail or Outlook, up to ten mailboxes, and lists SMS as a channel, though Nooks doesn’t say how texting is priced or registered with carriers. TalaLevel’s Pro and Scale plans text from your own numbers, with the carrier registration done with you, and email from each rep’s Gmail.
- Do I need a separate CRM to use Nooks or TalaLevel?
- Nooks sits on top of Salesforce or HubSpot; with any other CRM you can use its dialer by uploading a CSV. TalaLevel is the CRM, with leads, lists, pipeline, calendar and reports on every plan from $47 a seat a month. If your own CRM has to stay, we connect it with you.
- Does Nooks have an AI that answers inbound leads?
- Not yet. Nooks announced in November 2026 that its Inbound Agents arrive in the first quarter of 2027. TalaLevel’s Tala answers leads by text, books calls and follows up today, on Pro and Scale, and Scale adds Joey, an AI caller.
- Where is Nooks ahead of TalaLevel?
- Nooks calls 200+ countries as an add-on and sends email from Outlook as well as Gmail, while TalaLevel calls in the US and emails through Gmail only. Nooks also has SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification, plus AI roleplay bots and call scoring for training. TalaLevel has what Nooks lacks: the CRM itself, a published monthly price, an AI that answers your leads by text today and an AI caller.
