Best PhoneBurner, Mojo & Kixie Alternative (2026)

Direct answer: for a solo agent, the cheapest credible alternative to PhoneBurner, Mojo or Kixie is a mobile dialer that runs on your own SIM, because it removes the seat licence and the telephony bill at the same time. PhoneBurner publishes Standard at USD 140 per user per month billed annually. Mojo publishes a Triple Line licence at USD 139 plus USD 10 agent access. Kixie publishes no prices at all. DialMaster's free Starter plan is USD 0 with no cap on calls.

Why solo agents look for an alternative in the first place

PhoneBurner, Mojo and Kixie are competent products with real engineering behind them. The problem for a solo agent is not quality — it is that all three are priced for a seat in an office, and a solo agent is not that.

• The licence is fixed and your pipeline is not. A slow quarter costs the same as a good one.
• They assume a desk. Agents who work from cars, open houses and client sites are using the least convenient part of these products.
• The stack keeps growing. Dialer, then lead data, then recording, then a CRM. Each is defensible on its own and together they are a salary line.
• Number reputation is now a real cost. Carrier analytics label high-volume numbers, and a labelled number caps every downstream metric regardless of what you paid for the dialer.

Published pricing, verified 6 August 2026

The important detail here is that these products are not priced on the same axis, so headline numbers mislead. PhoneBurner charges one per-user price. Mojo charges an agent-access fee plus a dialer licence plus optional modules. Kixie does not publish anything.

What a Mojo seat really costs once it is configured

Mojo's published list is unusually transparent, which makes it a good illustration of how these stacks assemble. A triple-line agent who wants recording and a caller ID is not paying USD 139.

Mojo bills month to month with no contract, which is genuinely friendlier than an annual commitment. But a configured seat lands well above the licence price, and lead data — the thing Mojo is actually best at — sits on top of all of it.

Feature comparison

Note the minutes row. Earlier versions of this page claimed Kixie charged per minute on top of its licence; Kixie's own pricing page states unlimited US and Canada minutes are included in all three tiers. That correction matters more than any saving this page could claim.

Caller ID reputation: the mechanism, not the marketing

US carriers sign outbound calls under the STIR/SHAKEN framework, and the attestation level reflects how confident the originating provider is that the caller is entitled to use the number. A call placed from a consumer handset over that carrier's own network is the straightforward case: the carrier issued the number and knows the subscriber.

That is a structural difference, not a product feature anyone built. It is also not a guarantee — attestation is one input to the spam-labelling systems carriers and apps run, and a mobile number used for aggressive high-volume outbound will accumulate a reputation like any other. The framework itself is documented by the FCC, and abandoned-call limits that apply to any multi-line dialer sit in the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule.

When PhoneBurner, Mojo or Kixie is still the right buy

Being straight about this is more useful than pretending one tool wins everywhere.

• You need Mojo's lead data. Expired listings, FSBO and skip tracing are the actual product for many Mojo customers. A dialer that does not sell data cannot replace it.
• You need genuine multi-line dialing. DialMaster dials sequentially. If your model depends on parallel lines, that is a hard requirement and this comparison ends there.
• You live inside HubSpot or Salesforce. Kixie's integration depth is the strongest of the four and is worth paying for if your process runs through the CRM.
• You are on iOS. DialMaster is Android-first. If your phone is an iPhone, it is not an option today.
• You run an inbound queue. None of this applies; you need a contact centre platform.

Migrating in under an hour

1. Export contacts with dispositions. All three platforms support CSV export. Take dispositions, not just names and numbers — the outcome history is the valuable part.
2. Export call history separately. It is usually a different export and it is the thing people discover too late that they wanted.
3. Trim to name and phone for the first import. Get dialing working before you rebuild every custom field.
4. Map your old dispositions to the new ones. Do this deliberately; an unmapped history becomes noise and takes your reporting baseline with it.
5. Run a hundred dials on the new tool before cancelling the old one. Same time of day, same list segment, so the comparison means something.
6. Compare connect rate, not feeling. One week of like-for-like data settles it either way.
7. Only then cancel. Check the notice period — month-to-month and annual behave very differently here.

So which should a solo agent pick

If you need lead data or parallel lines, pay for the tool that does it and stop reading comparison pages. If you mainly need to work a list you already have, from a phone, without a licence that bills whether or not you sell anything, the free option is the rational starting point — and it costs nothing to run the week-long test that settles it.

Match the tool to the job, not to the review score

These four products win in different situations, and the situation is usually decided by what you sell and where you sell it from — not by which has the longer feature list.

Five questions to ask on any dialer demo

Demos are optimised to show throughput. These five questions surface the things that decide whether you are still happy in month six.

1. What is the notice period, and what happens to my data after it? Ask for the retention window in days. "Contact support" is not an answer.
2. Can I export call history myself, today? Not contacts — history. Make them show you, in the trial.
3. Are minutes included, metered, or capped? All three exist in this category and the difference is your entire variable cost.
4. What is genuinely included versus an add-on? Recording and caller ID are separate line items on at least one of these platforms.
5. What breaks when the internet drops? For a field agent this is the single most predictive question on the list.

What switching does not fix

Tooling changes throughput. It does not change whether the list is right or the offer lands, and a switch made for the wrong reason usually gets blamed on the new tool.

• A bad list. More dials into the wrong segment produces more rejection, faster.
• No follow-up discipline. Every one of these products schedules callbacks. None of them make the call for you.
• An unclear offer. If conversations are not converting, the constraint is upstream of the dialer entirely.
