Who should stay on Aircall
If your team leans on Aircall’s 250+ integration marketplace and Smartflow routing, and you’re happy at Essentials pricing — it’s a well-built product; stay. Signal is for revenue teams that resent the tier ladder: Power Dialer gated to the $50 Professional tier, AI at +$9/license, Salesforce at Professional, and no native answer to “which campaign drove this call?”
A phone system with add-ons vs an AI-native revenue line
Aircall prices capability as tiers and add-ons: $30/user (3-license minimum, so a $90/mo floor), dialer and Salesforce at $50, AI included on Professional or +$9 on Essentials, Analytics+ +$15. Signal ships the outbound dialing (Preview to Predictive by plan), Conversation AI, AI voice agents and visual IVR as the platform — add Teldrip Pulse (separately priced) for full campaign, keyword and revenue attribution without a third-party tracker.

What Teldrip operators report
FAQ
What’s the real per-seat cost difference?
Price an Aircall seat honestly: $50 Professional (for the dialer + Salesforce) + $9 AI + $15 Analytics+ = $74/user/mo before numbers. Signal is seat-based (Basic $24.99 · Professional $49 · Enterprise $99 per seat/mo, min 3 licenses) — bring your seat count and we’ll model it side by side.
We rely on Aircall integrations — what does Signal connect to?
Native connectors for Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Zendesk, Slack, Snowflake, BigQuery, Segment and Stripe, plus a programmable webhook API. If a specific integration is load-bearing, ask us before switching — see “who should stay.”
Can we port our Aircall numbers?
Yes — porting plus new DIDs across 300+ US area codes. Parallel-run during the 7-day trial before cutover so your team isn’t affected.
