Orum
AI parallel dialer that clears voicemails and phone screeners on its own, then hands a rep the live call once someone answers.
RecommendedLast reviewed September 16, 2026
What Orum actually is.
Orum runs sales calling through three linked AI agents. Operator does the actual dialing, up to 10 lines at once in parallel mode, and clears voicemails and phone screeners on its own before putting a rep on only once a real person answers. Scout decides which number to call and in what order, based on enrichment data and past dial history. Coach listens to live calls and scores each rep's calls afterward for a manager to review; matching battlecards mid-call is listed as a coming-soon feature under the paid AI Coaching add-on, not live yet.
There's a real gate before any of that shows up on a screen: Ascend requires a minimum of nine seats, and Orum posts no price anywhere on its site. Ascend Limited exists as a lower-volume add-on for AEs, but only alongside an existing seat on Ascend, not as a cheaper plan of its own. AI Coaching and webhooks cost extra on top of either one.
What it does
- Dials up to 10 lines at once in parallel mode, or one line at a time in power-dialing mode.
- Detects voicemails and phone screeners automatically and drops a pre-recorded message before moving to the next number.
- Picks the best number to call each lead on, using enrichment data and past dial history.
- Listens to live calls and scores the conversation for a manager; battlecard surfacing mid-call is a coming-soon add-on feature, not live yet.
- Runs practice call sessions on demand for reps to rehearse.
- Syncs into Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, and Gong rather than requiring a standalone dial log.
- Places calls across more than 160 countries with 20+ languages detected automatically.
None of that shows up as a dollar figure until a sales call happens.

Pricing, without the fiction.
From the Orum pricing page · verified September 16, 2026
- AI dialer with parallel dialing (up to 10 lines) and power dialing
- Unlimited dials
- Data enrichment and AI pickup detection (human, voicemail, screener, phone tree)
- International calling across 160+ countries
- Click-to-call and one-off dialing
- Limited calling volume, built for AEs and other lower-frequency dialers
- Same AI pickup detection as Ascend
- Sold only alongside an existing seat on Ascend, not as a standalone plan
Orum publishes no dollar figures anywhere on its site. The real gate is the 9-seat minimum on Ascend, which rules out solo reps and small teams before a sales call even starts. Ascend Limited doesn't fix that: it's an add-on for AEs or other lower-volume dialers, sold only alongside an existing seat on Ascend, not as a cheaper standalone plan. AI Coaching and webhooks cost extra on top of either plan rather than coming bundled in, so the actual per-seat number depends on which add-ons get bolted on. The 500-dial free trial is the only way to see the product before that conversation happens. Orum's own homepage also names a third plan, Launch, alongside Ascend, but the pricing page itself shows only the 9-seat plan and its add-ons with no Launch card or details, so what Launch actually includes stays an open question rather than a confirmed lower-cost option.
Choose it, or skip it.
Choose it if
- Sales orgs with at least 9 SDR or BDR seats who need real parallel dialing, up to 10 lines at once, plus AI pickup detection that tells human from voicemail from screener.
- Teams that want call coaching built into the dialer itself: Coach scores every rep's calls afterward, with mid-call battlecard surfacing listed as coming soon, instead of buying that from a separate conversation-intelligence vendor, though AI Coaching itself is a paid add-on on top of Ascend, not bundled free.
- Orgs already standardized on Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, or Gong, since Orum connects to all five plus other tools, rather than forcing a switch.
- Teams fine with a contact-sales process and no published pricing, treating the 500-dial free trial as the only look at the product before that call.
Skip it if
- Solo reps, small agencies, or any team under the 9-seat minimum on Ascend, at least until Orum's Launch plan (named on the homepage, absent from the pricing page) turns into something a small team can actually see and buy; Ascend Limited only stacks onto an existing seat there, it isn't a cheaper plan on its own.
- Teams that want a price before talking to sales; Orum states no dollar figure anywhere on its site.
- Shops mainly after meeting transcripts and notes rather than outbound dial volume; a meeting assistant fits that job better than a dialer.
If not Orum, then what.
- Nooksenterprise quote only; no public tiers or free trial, custom quote via sales
Pick this for another parallel-dialer platform built around a virtual sales floor and live coaching, worth quoting side by side with Orum before signing an annual dialer contract.
- AircallFrom $30/license/mo (annual, 3-license minimum ~$90/mo); Professional $50/license/mo; Custom tier is quote-only
Pick this when calling should live inside a full phone system (numbers, IVR, SMS) rather than a dialer layered on top of one, and a lower seat count needs to work.
- Close14-day free trial, then from $9/user/mo (Solo, annual billing)
Pick this when the calling and the CRM should be one product, with dials logged straight into deal records instead of syncing from a separate dialer tool.
Asked in real client work.
How much does Orum cost?
Orum doesn't publish prices. Both Ascend and Ascend Limited are contact-sales only, and Ascend carries a 9-seat minimum before a quote is even discussed.
What's the difference between Ascend and Ascend Limited?
Ascend (a minimum of 9 seats) is the full plan: unlimited dials, parallel and power dialing, data enrichment, and international calling. Ascend Limited is a lower-volume add-on seat for AEs or other roles who dial less often, and it only exists alongside an existing seat on Ascend, not as a standalone plan.
Can you try Orum before buying?
Yes. The free trial is capped at 500 dials, which is the only way to use the product before a sales conversation.
Are AI Coaching and webhooks included by default?
No. Both are add-ons on top of Ascend or Ascend Limited rather than bundled in automatically, which is part of why Orum won't quote a flat per-seat price.
How many lines can Orum dial at once?
Up to 10 lines in parallel dialing mode, per Orum's own product page, with a median connect time of 2.6 seconds once someone picks up.
What CRMs and sales tools does Orum connect to?
Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Gong, and more, per Orum's site.
