Predictive dialer alternative

DialBreeze is not a predictive dialer, and that is the point. It is a power dialer: a person talks to every answer, and the dialer never guesses at how many calls to place.

Updated October 21, 2026Breeze $29, Jetstream $49 a seat. Month to month.

How the two work

A predictive dialer estimates how many calls will be answered and when agents across a pool will be free, then dials ahead to keep the pool busy. When it guesses high, a person answers and nobody is there. A power dialer dials for one person at a fixed pace. On DialBreeze Breeze that is one line: the next call starts when the last one ends. On Jetstream you choose up to 3 lines per session.

Why a power dialer fits a small team

  • Predictive needs a crowd. Five9's own dialer page says predictive is best with more than 10 active agents. With 1 to 5 callers there is no pool to absorb extra answers.
  • Every answer gets a human. On one line, nobody answers to silence. On 3 lines, the first answer goes to you, and you see how often a second answer is cut off.
  • Simpler to run. No pacing algorithm raises the call rate when agents look idle. You set the line count and can measure your own abandoned-call rate against the FTC's 3% safe harbor (16 CFR 310.4(b)(4)).
  • Published prices. Most predictive platforms sell by quote and annual contract. DialBreeze is $29 or $49 a seat, month to month.

Be honest about the tradeoff

A predictive dialer can place more calls per agent hour on a big floor. If you run 20 or more agents on a high-volume list with a compliance team, a predictive platform may be the right tool. DialBreeze is for the one to a few callers who want steady volume, you talking to the first person who answers, and a price they can see.

A low seat price, then usage

Calling is billed by the dialing hour.

Calling is one flat rate on every plan: $0.75 per dialing hour, drawn from your calling credit.

Dial 10 hours a week (about 40 hours a month)? That's $30 of calling.

Calling 20 hours a week (about 80 hours a month) = $60 of calling + your $29 seat = $89/month.

$0.75 / dialing hour

Load calling credit in $25, $50, $75 or a custom amount in whole dollars from $25 to $2,000. Calling is $0.75 per dialing hour, drawn from your balance. AI transcription and call notes are included on Breeze and Jetstream.

Calling is measured by dialing-session time, not per line. Three lines on Jetstream count once. Phone numbers are $5 per month each.

Questions buyers ask.

Is DialBreeze a predictive dialer?
No. DialBreeze is a power dialer. It does not guess when agents will be free, and it does not route answers to a shared pool. One person works their own list at a fixed number of lines: one on Breeze, up to 3 on Jetstream.
Why not just use a predictive dialer?
Predictive dialing works by dialing ahead of agents across a pool. It needs enough agents to absorb the answers. Five9's own dialer page says predictive is best for when more than 10 active agents are available. With a few callers, the pacing guesses are noisier and more people can answer to no one.
Can a power dialer still drop calls?
Yes, on more than one line. On Jetstream, if a second person answers while you are on a call, that line plays your disconnect message, or ends silently if none is set, and DialBreeze logs it. On Breeze, one line means one call at a time. Measure your own rate before you choose a line count.
What is the abandoned-call rule?
The FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule safe harbor, 16 CFR 310.4(b)(4), includes keeping abandoned calls to no more than 3% of answered calls per campaign over 30 days, among other conditions. A product label does not make a campaign compliant. Get advice for your campaign; our safe-harbor guide covers the details.
What does a predictive dialer cost compared with DialBreeze?
Most predictive platforms we checked on October 18, 2026 do not publish prices: Five9, TCN, Convoso and Nextiva's dialing plans are quote-only. RingCX starts at $65 per user. DialRush is $262.50 per seat with minutes included. DialBreeze is $29 or $49 per seat, plus calling time at $0.75/hour.
