Aircall vs Ringover
Two French vendors, but only one bills in euros and only one hosts in France: real prices, license minimums and dialers compared as of November 11, 2026.
We build Skipcall, and we sell to the same teams as Aircall and Ringover. We therefore have a commercial interest in you choosing neither, and you should read this page knowing that.
That is why Skipcall appears nowhere in the comparison below: not in the table, not in the verdict, not in the questions. Every claim here points to a dated public source, listed at the foot of the page. If something looks wrong, write to us: we will correct it and date the correction.
In short
The essentials in five sentences
- Aircall and Ringover are both French companies: Aircall was founded in 2014 in Paris, Ringover in 2005 and is published by BJT PARTNERS, headquartered in Montrouge. The vendor's nationality therefore does not separate the two offers.
- Ringover publishes a price list in euros on its French site and the same numbers in dollars on its US site, from $19 per user per month on the Talk plan with annual billing. Aircall publishes its prices in dollars, from $30 per license per month on the Essentials plan, also with annual billing.
- As of November 11, 2026, both vendors require a minimum of three licenses on every plan with a published price. The real entry ticket is $90 a month at Aircall and $57 a month at Ringover, with a twelve-month commitment on Ringover's annual rate.
- The automatic dialer starts on the second plan at both: Professional at $50 per license at Aircall, Business at $49 per user at Ringover. For three users, the bill is $150 or $147 a month.
- Neither of the two allows several numbers to be dialed in parallel from France: Aircall offers it on no plan, and Ringover's add-on is capped at two simultaneous calls and restricted to the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom.
- Ringover states that it hosts all of its data in centers located in France, with no transfer outside the European Union. At Aircall, recordings of accounts created after May 3, 2022 are stored by phone number region (Frankfurt for EMEA), those of older accounts on AWS US West, in Oregon, where other personal data also remains.
Which of the two
Take Ringover if your recordings have to stay in France, if you want the option of an invoice in euros and call summaries included from the first plan: Talk is $19 per user, so $57 a month for the three required licenses. Take Aircall if you want an IVR, call queues, SMS and CRM connectors from the entry plan and a catalog of more than 250 integrations. As soon as you need a dialer, price no longer decides: $150 a month at one, $147 at the other, for three licenses. If your deciding criterion is parallel dialing from France, neither answers it as of November 11, 2026.
The point that decides
Two French vendors, but only one bills in euros
A buyer comparing Aircall and Ringover is usually trying to work out which of the two is the French one. That question does not separate them: they both are. What really separates them lies elsewhere, in the billing currency, in the country where recordings are stored, and in what the entry plan contains once the three licenses are paid for.
Aircall was founded in 2014 in Paris and claims more than 24,000 customers. Ringover was founded in 2005 by Jean-Samuel Najnudel and Renaud Charvet, is published by BJT PARTNERS in Montrouge, and claims more than 14,000 business customers and over 350 staff. Two French companies, then, one of which has taken on a broader international dimension while the other has held a longer position on its home market.
The first concrete gap is currency. Ringover publishes 19, 49 and 69 per user per month on annual billing (29, 69 and 89 on monthly billing), in euros on its French site and in dollars on its US site. Aircall publishes $30 and $50 per license per month on annual billing, in dollars. For a European team that means Ringover can be budgeted in euros, while the Aircall line moves with the exchange rate from one year to the next. For a US team, both price lists read in dollars and compare directly.
The second gap is hosting, and it is the one that most bluntly contradicts the initial assumption. Ringover states that all of the data centers holding the data its services require are located in France, with no transfer outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Aircall's privacy FAQ separates two cases: for accounts created after May 3, 2022, recordings and voicemails are stored according to the phone number's country code, in Frankfurt for EMEA; for older accounts, they default to AWS US West, in Oregon. In both cases, other personal data remains stored in Oregon. Two French companies, two different answers to the data location question.
The third gap is no longer the license minimum. As of November 11, 2026, both vendors require three on every plan with a published price, entry plan included: Aircall says so for all plans regardless of billing cycle, and Ringover displays "Minimum 3 users" on Talk, Business and Unified. What separates the two entry plans is their content. For $90 a month, Essentials provides an IVR, call queues, SMS and connectors such as HubSpot or Pipedrive. For $57 a month, Talk provides one shared company number, transcription and call summaries, with no CRM connector. On the plan that contains a dialer, the two meet: $150 a month at Aircall, $147 at Ringover.

Which one for which use
Two situations, two answers
Aircall is the right choice if
- you want an IVR, call queues and SMS from the entry plan, without moving up a plan
- your CRM is HubSpot or Pipedrive and you want to connect it from Essentials, at $30 per license
- audio quality is your first criterion: it is the best-rated point in the category on G2, at 9.1 out of 10 across more than 1,500 reviews as of September 7, 2026
- your software stack is unusual and you need a catalog of more than 250 integrations
- most of your calls stay inside the United States and Canada, which is what the unlimited calling bundle covers
Ringover is the right choice if
- your legal team requires data to stay in France, with no transfer outside the European Union
- you are a European company and want an invoice in euros, with no exposure to the exchange rate
- you want transcription and call summaries from the first plan, at $19 per user
- you call abroad often: the Business plan includes unlimited calls to 90 destinations
- public reviews weigh in your decision: 3.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot as of November 11, 2026 and 4.6 out of 5 on G2 as of September 7, 2026
The limits
What each one does not do
Aircall limits
- Aircall offers parallel dialing on none of its plans as of November 11, 2026. Its power dialer, available from the Professional plan, dials one number at a time.
- The three-license minimum applies to every plan, regardless of billing cycle: a single user pays $90 a month on Essentials and $150 a month on Professional.
- The Trustpilot rating is 3.0 out of 5 across 1,102 reviews, with 29% of them one-star. Those reviews rarely concern features and almost always billing, automatic renewal and support response times.
- Personal data other than recordings remains stored on AWS US West, in Oregon, and the recordings of accounts created before May 3, 2022 default to the same location.
Ringover limits
- Ringover's parallel dialer is not offered in France as of November 11, 2026: the vendor's help center restricts it to the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom, and caps it at two simultaneous calls, as a paid add-on.
- The three-user minimum now applies from the Talk plan onwards, and the annual rate carries a twelve-month commitment: a single user pays $57 a month on Talk and $147 a month on Business.
- The Talk plan only provides one shared company number and lists no CRM integration: an individual line is a $10 per user add-on, and connectors start on the Business plan.
- The Trustpilot rating is 3.9 out of 5 across 1,098 reviews, with 17% of them one-star. Those reviews almost never concern the calling features and cluster on entering and leaving the contract.
What neither of them does
- Neither allows several numbers to be dialed in parallel from France as of November 11, 2026. Aircall offers it on no plan, and Ringover only opens its add-on in the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom.
- Neither can be bought for a single license: three have to be paid for on both sides, from the entry plan onwards.
- Neither includes a dialer in its entry plan: it starts on the second plan, Professional at Aircall and Business at Ringover.
- Both sell on a fixed term with renewal, and that is precisely where the negative reviews cluster on both sides, not on the calling features.
The real bill
What 1, 3 and 10 users pay
Prices read on November 11, 2026, annual billing, before tax, with the three-license minimum applied. Both vendors publish these amounts in US dollars.
1 user, no dialer
Aircall Essentials: $90 a month, of which $60 pays for two unused licenses. Ringover Talk: $57 a month, of which $38 pays for two unused licenses, with a twelve-month commitment.
1 user, with a dialer
Aircall Professional: $150 a month. Ringover Business: $147 a month. In both cases, three licenses are billed for one person.
3 users, with a dialer
Aircall Professional: 3 × $50, so $150 a month and $1,800 a year. Ringover Business: 3 × $49, so $147 a month and $1,764 a year. The gap is $36 a year.
10 users, with supervision
Aircall Professional: $500 a month. Ringover Business: $490 a month. Without live monitoring or a dialer, Aircall Essentials comes to $300 and Ringover Talk to $190, but Talk only provides one shared number.
The verdict by use case
Which one to choose, depending on what your team does
A support team of five or more
Close to a tie. Professional and Business both include call queues, routing rules, monitoring and whispering. Decide on your helpdesk connector and on where recordings must be hosted.
A mixed team on HubSpot or Pipedrive
Aircall has the edge on budget: those connectors are open from Essentials, whereas Ringover's integrations start on the Business plan. The edge disappears if the sales side needs a dialer.
A team on Salesforce
A tie on list price: Salesforce is reserved for the Professional plan at Aircall, and integrations start on the Business plan at Ringover. Check which Salesforce edition each connector requires.
A very small company
Ringover Talk is the cheaper way in if a shared number, a twelve-month commitment and no CRM connector are acceptable. Otherwise Aircall Essentials gives more from the first plan.
Strict hosting requirements
Ringover's statement is the simpler one: data centers in France, no transfer outside the European Union. Aircall stores recordings by phone number region for recent accounts, and other personal data in the United States.
A team that prospects all day
Neither is designed for it: their dialers call one number at a time, and Ringover's two-line add-on is limited to three countries.
Before you sign
Seven questions to put in writing to both vendors
Send the same message to both sales teams. The answers are part of the product.
The price of the right plan
What is the price per license of the plan that contains the dialer, live monitoring or the connector for our CRM, on monthly and on annual billing?
The minimum
How many licenses must we pay for at minimum, and can we reduce that number during the contract?
The commitment
What are the commitment length, the renewal date and the notice period to cancel?
Hosting
Where will the recordings, transcripts and contact data of our account be stored?
The extras
What is billed on top of the plan for our use: extra numbers, international calls, SMS, AI features?
Dialer calls
Are calls placed with the automatic dialer billed differently from manual calls? Ringover's French call-rate page mentions a penalty of €0.08 per minute for calls placed through automatic dialers, without saying whether it applies inside the unlimited bundle.
Number porting
How long does porting our numbers take, in and out, and what does it cost?
A calendar full of meetings starts with a call.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers
Aircall or Ringover: which is cheaper?
Ringover on the entry plan, and the two are level as soon as you need a dialer. As of November 11, 2026, Ringover publishes its Talk plan at $19 per user per month on annual billing and Aircall its Essentials plan at $30 per license per month, with a three-license minimum on both sides: $57 against $90 a month. On the plans that contain a dialer, the entry ticket is $150 a month at Aircall (Professional plan) and $147 a month at Ringover (Business plan, twelve-month commitment). Ringover publishes the same numbers in euros on its French site.
Which of the two should you choose to prospect from France?
Neither will give you parallel dialing from France as of November 11, 2026: Aircall offers it on no plan, and Ringover's add-on is restricted to the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom. If a dialer that calls one number at a time is enough for you, both offer one, from the Professional plan at Aircall ($50 per license) and from the Business plan at Ringover ($49 per user). If parallel dialing is your deciding criterion, this comparison does not hold your answer.
Is Aircall an American company?
No. Aircall is a French company founded in 2014 in Paris, claiming more than 24,000 customers. The vendor's nationality says nothing about where the data sits, however: personal data other than recordings remains stored on AWS US West, in Oregon, and the recordings of accounts created before May 3, 2022 default to the same location.
Which of the two hosts data in France?
Ringover. The vendor states that all of the data centers holding the data its services require are located in France, with no transfer outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. At Aircall, the recordings of accounts created after May 3, 2022 are stored by phone number region, in Frankfurt for EMEA, and those of older accounts on AWS in the United States, where other personal data also remains. For an account opened today, ask in both cases for written confirmation of the storage region for recordings and transcripts.
Which one imposes a license minimum?
Both, on every plan with a published price. Aircall states that all plans require a minimum of three licenses regardless of billing cycle, which brings the entry ticket to $90 a month. Ringover displays "Minimum 3 users" on Talk, Business and Unified, so $57 a month at minimum, with a twelve-month commitment on the annual rate, and 50 users on Enterprise. A team of one or two users therefore pays for three licenses at either vendor.
Which of the two is better rated by its customers?
Ringover, on both reference platforms. On Trustpilot, as of November 11, 2026, Ringover scores 3.9 out of 5 across 1,098 reviews, 69% of them five-star and 17% one-star; Aircall scores 3.0 out of 5 across 1,102 reviews, 58% of them five-star and 29% one-star. On G2, as of September 7, 2026, Ringover scored 4.6 out of 5 across close to 500 reviews and Aircall 4.4 out of 5 across more than 1,500 reviews. On Trustpilot, the negative reviews of both vendors concern the contract and not the product.
Can you move from Aircall to Ringover, or the other way round?
Yes, your numbers belong to you and port from one carrier to another. What sets the timetable is not the availability of the new tool but the anniversary date of your current contract and the applicable notice period: both vendors sell on a fixed term with renewal. Ask for an export of your recordings, call logs and notes while the account is still active, and start the number porting before you cancel.
Which should you choose if your team is smaller than three people?
Neither will spare you from paying for three licenses as of November 11, 2026. Ringover remains the cheaper way in: $57 a month for the Talk plan, with a twelve-month commitment, one shared number and no CRM connector. Aircall Essentials costs $90 a month and includes an IVR, call queues, SMS and connectors such as HubSpot or Pipedrive. The choice is therefore made on what the entry plan contains, no longer on the minimum.
