Pricing
Per-seat monthly plans with a free trial and add-ons for AI features.
Pricing summarised in October 2026 and not re-checked since. Vendors change plans often, so confirm current pricing with Aircall before you budget.
Security and governance
Dialers record calls and store phone numbers. Check call recording consent and do-not-call rules in each country you dial, restrict recording access, and confirm regional data hosting where you need it.
