Readymode Plans & Pricing: The Ultimate Guide for 2026

Readymode costs $199 per license per month on Starter and $249 on iQ, both billed annually. Pay monthly and those become $239 and $299. Outbound calling is unlimited, inbound is billed at $0.02 a minute, and setup fees are waived.

That is the short version. The longer version has three numbers the pricing page does not put in the headline: iQ will not sell you fewer than five licenses, the annual rate needs a twelve-month prepaid term, and Readymode does not dial outside North America at all. This guide covers what you actually pay, where the extras hide, and how it compares to running the same team on CloudTalk.

TL;DR:

Two plans, priced per license. Starter is $199/license/month on annual billing ($239 monthly) for one to four agents. iQ is $249/license/month annually ($299 monthly) and requires a minimum of five licenses.

The real iQ floor is $1,245 a month, not $249, because of that five-license minimum.

Unlimited outbound, metered inbound. Outbound is free under a fair use policy. Inbound costs $0.02 a minute on both tiers.

North America only. Readymode calls into the continental US, Hawaii and Canada. There is no international rate card because there is no international calling.

Overview of Readymode Plans & Pricing

Readymode sells two plans, both priced per license rather than per account. The advertised number depends on how you pay.

PlanBilled monthlyBilled annuallyLicensesDIDs included
Starter$239/license/mo$199/license/mo1 to 4Up to 30 per license
iQ$299/license/mo$249/license/mo5 minimumUp to 75 per license

Both tiers include unlimited outbound calling under a fair use policy, the built-in CRM, and waived setup and DID activation fees. One complimentary admin license comes on top of your paid seats and does not count toward the license total. Inbound minutes are charged separately at $0.02 each on both plans.

Readymode labels the annual saving as 20%. The arithmetic from $239 down to $199 works out closer to 17%, so budget from the rates rather than the percentage. Worth knowing too: readymode.com/pricing/ still displays the older $199 and $249 figures without the annual framing, while their FAQ, their demo pricing page, G2 and Capterra all show $239 and $299 as the monthly rates. If a rep quotes you the lower number, confirm in writing whether it is monthly or annual.

Starter Plan

$199 per license per month billed annually, or $239 billed monthly.

Starter is built for teams of one to four agents. Each license comes with up to 30 DIDs, unlimited outbound dialling, the built-in CRM, and lead and list management. For a solo closer or a two-person team working a local list, it covers the job without much ceremony.

What you give up against iQ is deliverability tooling and room to grow. Fewer DIDs per license, no Autopilot, and limits on integrations. The practical catch is that the moment you hire a fifth agent, Starter stops being an option and your per-seat cost rises by $50.

What's Included in Readymode's Starter Plan

  • Unlimited outbound calling under fair use
  • Up to 30 DIDs per license
  • Built-in CRM with lead and list management
  • Predictive and preview dialling modes
  • Call recording and basic reporting
  • Setup and DID activation fees waived

iQ Plan

$249 per license per month billed annually, or $299 billed monthly, with a five-license minimum.

The minimum matters more than the per-seat price. The cheapest possible iQ account is $1,245 a month on annual billing, or $1,495 billed monthly, before a single inbound minute. If you have six agents, that is what you pay. If you have five, that is still what you pay.

For the extra money you get up to 75 DIDs per license, unlimited integrations, caller ID reputation monitoring, and Autopilot, which rotates and selects DIDs based on carrier reputation. Readymode has been investing here: Autopilot gained carrier-level intelligence in February 2026, and Managed Remediation launched in June 2025. Both target spam labelling, which is the most common complaint in recent Readymode reviews, so the investment is pointed at a real problem.

What's Included in Readymode's iQ Plan

  • Everything in Starter
  • Up to 75 DIDs per license
  • Autopilot DID reputation management and rotation
  • Caller ID reputation monitoring
  • Unlimited integrations
  • Advanced reporting

CloudTalk vs. Readymode: Which One Offers Better Value for Money?

These two tools are not competing for the same job, and pretending otherwise helps nobody. Readymode is a North American outbound dialler with a CRM attached. CloudTalk is a global business phone system that includes power and parallel dialling. Which one is better value depends entirely on whether your list has international numbers on it.

Where the comparison is genuinely close is cost per seat at scale, and that is not close at all.

Short Overview of CloudTalk's Plans and Pricing

  • Starter: $25/user/month
  • Essential: $29/user/month
  • Expert: $49/user/month
  • Custom: tailored pricing for 25+ seats
  • AI Voice Agents: from $99 for 200 minutes, with 50 free minutes to start
  • 14-day free trial, no credit card required

No seat minimums on the entry tiers, no separate inbound per-minute charge on your included calling region, and local numbers in 160+ countries. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing page.

G2 rating4.6/5 (160 reviews)4.3/5 (1,600+ reviews)

The honest read on that table: Readymode wins on unlimited outbound minutes within North America, and that is a real advantage for a high-volume US telemarketing floor. CloudTalk wins on everything to do with geography, contract flexibility and cost per seat.

Example Billing Scenario

Take an eight-agent outbound team on iQ, running roughly 2,500 inbound minutes a month.

Cost itemBilled annuallyBilled monthly
iQ licenses (8)$1,992 (8 × $249)$2,392 (8 × $299)
Inbound minutes (2,500 × $0.02)$50$50
Setup and DID activation$0 (waived)$0 (waived)
Total per month$2,042$2,442
Total per year$24,504$29,304

The same eight agents on CloudTalk's Starter plan come to $200 a month, or $2,400 a year. That is roughly a tenth of the Readymode bill, and it is before you count the 160+ countries Readymode cannot dial into.

Two caveats, because a fair comparison needs them. Readymode's unlimited outbound is genuinely unlimited within North America, while CloudTalk's included minutes work within your chosen calling region with bundles for cross-border calling. And Readymode bundles a CRM, so if you would otherwise be paying for one separately, subtract that from the gap.

Readymode Best Features

Four things Readymode does well enough that they belong in any honest comparison.

Unlimited Outbound Dialling

No per-minute outbound charge on either plan, under a fair use policy. For a floor running predictive dial campaigns eight hours a day, this is the feature that justifies the per-seat price, and metered competitors struggle to match it at volume.

Built-In CRM

Lead management, list handling and contact records live inside the dialler rather than in a separate subscription. It is not going to replace Salesforce, but for a telemarketing operation that just needs lists, dispositions and callbacks in one place, it removes a tool and an integration.

Autopilot and Caller ID Reputation Management

On iQ, Autopilot rotates and selects DIDs by carrier reputation, and Managed Remediation works on numbers that have been flagged. Spam labelling is an existential problem for outbound teams, and Readymode is one of the few diallers treating it as a product area rather than a support ticket.

Waived Setup Fees

No setup fee, no DID activation fee, and free implementation and training for accounts with three or more licenses. In a category where five-figure onboarding charges are normal, that is worth noting.

Readymode Add-Ons & Extra Costs

Readymode's pricing is cleaner than most diallers. Four things still sit outside the headline number.

CostAmountWhat to know
Inbound minutes$0.02/minuteCharged on both tiers. Outbound stays unlimited under fair use
The iQ five-license minimum$1,245/month floorYou cannot buy iQ for fewer than five licenses, whatever your headcount
Monthly billing premiumAbout 17% more$239 against $199 on Starter, $299 against $249 on iQ
International callingNot available at any priceCoverage is continental US, Hawaii and Canada only

The annual rate requires a twelve-month prepaid term that auto-renews unless you opt out before the renewal date, and cancelling early forfeits the discount on a prorated basis. Worth diarising the renewal date the day you sign.

What Readymode Users Rate It

Readymode holds 4.6/5 on G2 across 160 reviews and 4.6/5 on Capterra across 144 reviews, both verified September 2026. That is a strong score on a credible sample, and the criticism clusters tightly around three things: spam labelling, connection reliability and callback scheduling.

Hans G., an insurance agency owner, in a January 2026 Capterra review: "The biggest drawback is deliverability. Phone numbers tend to get flagged as spam likely too often." Valmie J., a real estate cold caller, in March: "Even though our Wi-Fi connection is stable, it frequently shows 'connecting' and 'phone not detected.'"

Read those alongside the Autopilot investment above. Readymode clearly knows deliverability is its weak point, and is shipping against it.

Readymode vs. CloudTalk: How to Get More Call Features for Less

If your entire book of business is in the United States and Canada, and your team dials all day at volume, Readymode is a defensible purchase. Unlimited outbound at a flat per-seat rate is exactly what that operation needs, and the CRM saves a subscription.

The calculation changes the moment either of two things is true. If you sell across borders, Readymode cannot do the job at any price, because international calling is not a plan you can upgrade to. And if you are a team of eight or fewer, the five-license minimum and the per-seat gap mean you are paying roughly ten times what the same headcount costs on CloudTalk.

CloudTalk gives you local numbers in 160+ countries, power and parallel dialling, call recording and analytics, 100+ CRM integrations, and AI voice agents from $99 for 200 minutes when you want calls answered without an agent on the line. No seat minimum, no prepaid year, and a 14-day trial with no credit card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Readymode is a cloud-based predictive dialler with a built-in CRM, aimed at outbound call centres and telemarketing teams in the United States and Canada. It combines dialling modes, lead and list management, call recording and caller ID reputation tools in one platform, sold per license on two tiers: Starter and iQ.

Readymode costs $199 per license per month on Starter and $249 on iQ, both billed annually. Billed monthly, those rise to $239 and $299. Pricing is per license rather than per account, so an eight-agent team on iQ pays 8 × $249, which is $1,992 a month on annual billing. Inbound minutes are charged separately at $0.02 each.

The cheapest possible Readymode account is one Starter license at $199 a month on annual billing, or $239 billed monthly. The cheapest iQ account is not $249, because iQ requires a minimum of five licenses, which puts the floor at $1,245 a month on annual billing or $1,495 monthly. Add $0.02 per inbound minute on top of either.

No. Outbound calling is unlimited on both Starter and iQ under a fair use policy, with no per-minute charge. Inbound is the metered side at $0.02 a minute. That flat outbound model is Readymode's strongest commercial argument, and it is the main reason high-volume North American dialling floors choose it over per-minute competitors.

There are none, because Readymode does not offer international calling. Its own FAQ states that it supports outbound and inbound calling into the continental United States, including Hawaii, and Canada. No international rate card exists. If your team dials outside North America you need a platform with its own global carrier network: CloudTalk offers local numbers in 160+ countries on every plan.

Both are outbound diallers, but they sell to different rooms. Readymode targets general telemarketing and call centre operations at $199 to $299 per license, with a built-in CRM. BatchDialer is built around real estate prospecting, priced at $111 per agent on Basic and $239 on Advanced, with native BatchLeads integration and lead list packages sold separately from $49 a month. If you are wholesaling property, BatchDialer's data ecosystem is the draw. For a general outbound floor, Readymode's unlimited minutes and CRM usually win.

Readymode includes a CRM rather than being one. Lead records, list management, dispositions and callback scheduling all live inside the platform, which is enough for a telemarketing operation that works from purchased lists. It is not a replacement for Salesforce or HubSpot if you need pipeline management, forecasting or marketing automation, and iQ's unlimited integrations exist precisely so teams can connect a real CRM alongside it.

It scales linearly, which is the problem. Every new agent adds a full license at $199 or $249, and there are no published volume discounts. The awkward step is at five agents, where Starter stops being available and the whole team moves to iQ, raising the per-seat cost by $50. Growing from four to five agents therefore takes your bill from $796 to $1,245 a month on annual billing.

Number portability is a right under FCC rules in the US, so in principle you can take your numbers to another provider. Readymode does not publish its porting process or any associated fees on its website or in its FAQ, so ask for the out-porting procedure in writing before you sign, not when you are trying to leave. Any provider worth using will answer that question plainly.

It depends on what is pushing you away from it. If the blocker is geography, CloudTalk is the direct answer: local numbers in 160+ countries, power and parallel dialling, from $25 per user per month with no seat minimum. If the blocker is price at small headcount, the same applies, since eight agents cost around $200 a month against Readymode's $1,992. If you are specifically in real estate, BatchDialer is the closer like-for-like swap.
