The short answer
Aircall publishes two standard plans: Essentials at $30 and Professional at $50 per license per month on annual billing, with a three-license minimum (verified August 2026). The AI voice agent is metered separately at $0.49 per minute up to 2,500 minutes, then $0.39, with 50 free minutes per account monthly.
Key takeaways
- Essentials costs $30 and Professional $50 per license per month on annual billing.
- A three-license minimum makes the real entry price $90 per month.
- Analytics+ ($15) and AI Assist Pro ($49) per license can double a seat's cost.
- The AI voice agent runs $0.49 per minute, dropping to $0.39 past 2,500 minutes.
- Monthly billing costs about 25 percent more than the advertised annual rates.
Aircall publishes its pricing, and the headline is simple: plans start at $30 per license per month on annual billing. The part the headline skips is that Aircall requires a three-license minimum, so the real entry price is $90 per month, and the AI voice agent and analytics layers most buyers ask about meter on top of the seat price. Sources: Aircall's pricing page and support documentation, checked August 2026, with third-party figures attributed where noted.
Aircall pricing at a glance#
| Plan | Annual billing (per license/mo) | Monthly billing (per license/mo, reported) | Minimum licenses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $30 | $40 | 3 |
| Professional | $50 | $70 | 3 |
| Custom | Quote | Quote | 25 |
The $30 start and the 25 percent annual-billing discount come from Aircall itself; the monthly-billing figures are the consistent report across third-party guides (Nextiva's Aircall pricing breakdown, July 2026, among them), matching that 25 percent gap. Every plan includes one local or toll-free number, IVR, call queuing, and call recording. A free trial is offered through the pricing page.
The three plans, briefly#
Essentials ($30/license annual) is the phone system: IVR, queuing, recording (stored one year), voicemail, click-to-dial, and the standard integrations. It buys a solid shared phone line for a small floor. It does not include the power dialer, the Salesforce integration, or voicemail drop, and its analytics history runs six months.
Professional ($50/license annual) is where outbound teams land. It adds the power dialer, the Salesforce integration, voicemail drop, unlimited call recording storage, and includes AI Assist (call summaries and transcription) in the seat price. For a sales floor that dials lists daily, this is the plan the $30 headline is pointing past.
Custom (quote, 25-license minimum) adds API support, unlimited international calling, and unlimited analytics history. Enterprise buyers negotiate from here; everyone else should ignore this tier.
Two retention limits are worth knowing before picking between the lower tiers: call recordings on Essentials expire after one year while Professional stores them without limit, and analytics history on both standard plans runs six months unless the Custom tier or the Analytics+ add-on extends it. Teams that coach from old call recordings or report on year-over-year trends should price those limits into the plan choice instead of discovering them at month seven.
The add-ons that move the bill#
Per Nextiva's July 2026 breakdown and Aircall's own support documentation:
- Extra phone numbers: $6 per number per month beyond the one included per plan.
- Analytics+: $15 per license per month for the advanced dashboards and monitoring; note that Essentials and Professional already cap analytics history at six months without it.
- AI Assist: $9 per license per month on Essentials (included on Professional and Custom).
- AI Assist Pro: $49 per license per month for real-time agent coaching.
- Outbound SMS: capped at 4,000 messages per month, then per-message charges.
Stack Analytics+ and AI Assist Pro on a $50 Professional seat and the honest seat price is $114. That stacking is why review sites report effective Aircall costs of $70 to $100 per seat for teams that turn everything on.
Aircall's AI Voice Agent pricing#
The AI voice agent is a separate meter, and Aircall publishes its rates on its AI voice agent cost guide (May 2026): pay as you go at $0.49 per minute up to 2,500 minutes, $0.39 per minute above that, with 50 free AI voice agent minutes per account each month on every plan.
Worked math: 500 conversational minutes costs about $220 after the free allowance; 2,000 minutes costs about $955; a 10,000-minute month lands near $3,800 once the lower $0.39 tier kicks in past 2,500. That is the meter running on top of a seat subscription you already pay. Aircall's own guide puts the broader voice-AI market at $0.05 to $1.00 per minute, and our Retell AI pricing teardown and the Vapi pricing numbers show what buys what along that range.
Rezora point of view
The 50 free AI minutes are per account, never per seat. A 10-seat floor testing the AI agent gets the same 50 minutes as a solo account, so serious AI pilots hit the paid meter almost immediately.
Monthly totals for working Aircall setups#
| Setup | Components | Monthly total |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum account | 3 x Essentials (annual) | $90 |
| Small sales floor | 3 x Professional (annual) | $150 |
| 10-seat floor, analytics on | 10 x Professional + 10 x Analytics+ | $650 |
| Same floor, monthly billing | 10 x Professional (reported $70) | $700 |
| AI agent at 500 min/mo | added to any row | ~$220 |
One plan, one meter, published
Rezora IO is $289 a month plus $0.20 per conversational minute, and the meter runs only while someone is on the line with the agent. No seat minimums, no add-on stack. Watch it book an appointment live.

| Tool | Pricing model | Entry price | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aircall | Per license, 3-seat minimum | $30/license/mo published | Aircall pricing |
| JustCall | Per user, 2-seat minimum | $29/user/mo published | JustCall pricing guide |
| Kixie | Per user, quote-only | $35 to $95/user/mo reported | Kixie pricing guide |
| Rezora IO | One plan + conversational minutes | $289/mo + $0.20/min | Rezora IO pricing |
Aircall and JustCall are the same shape: per-seat phone systems where the dialer, analytics, and AI climb tiers and add-ons. Kixie is the same shape with the prices hidden. Rezora IO is a different shape entirely: no seats, one plan, and minutes that meter only while a conversation is happening.
Is Aircall worth it?#
As a phone system for a support or sales floor, Aircall is the cleanest-priced option in its tier: the numbers are published, the discount math is honest, and 23,000-plus businesses on the platform means the billing machinery works. If you need IVR, queues, and a shared line for five or more people, the Professional plan at $50 is a fair price.
Two cautions before you sign. The three-license minimum turns away the smallest buyers, and the add-on stack (Analytics+ at $15, AI Assist Pro at $49, numbers at $6) is how a $30 headline becomes a $100 seat. And if the AI voice agent is the reason you are shopping, price it against the dedicated market first: $0.49 per minute on top of a seat subscription is a premium rate for what is, on Aircall, an accessory to the phone system.
Who Aircall fits (and who should keep looking)#
Aircall fits support and sales teams of three to fifty who want a polished cloud phone system with a power dialer tier, will commit annually, and value a big integration library. It fits poorly if you are a solo buyer or a two-person shop, if you need month-to-month billing at the advertised rates, or if your primary need is an autonomous AI caller rather than seats for humans. For that market, our guide to the best AI cold calling software compares the dedicated options.
Where Rezora IO fits#
Rezora IO is the dedicated option: the AI voice agent is the product itself, with the meter built in. One published plan at $289 per month plus $0.20 per conversational minute, month to month, with no seat minimums, and billing starts when a conversation starts and stops when it ends. Five hundred of those minutes costs $100, against roughly $220 on Aircall's meter before you count the seats underneath it.
The agent calls new leads in seconds, qualifies intent on the call, and books appointments directly on your calendar, inbound and outbound. Rezora IO trains its own hosted models on real sales conversations (supervised fine-tuning, then preference optimization) rather than prompting a generic foundation model, so it works out of the box with no prompts to write. Enterprise plans, including custom-trained deployments, are available for teams that need them.
