PhoneBurner
Not an AI voice agent — a very transparent human power dialer that keeps reps on the phone.
We are ranking PhoneBurner honestly rather than conveniently: it is not an AI calling platform. It is a human-powered power dialer, and it says so. It earns its position on transparency — every seat price is published — and on doing its actual job well. If your problem is rep talk-time rather than replacing reps, this solves it without any AI risk. If you came here for autonomous AI calling, this is not that product.
Synthflow
Enterprise-only voice AI with ISO 27001 and EU hosting — and a $30,000 annual floor.
Synthflow has moved upmarket and now sells enterprise contracts only, starting at $30,000 per year. To its credit it publishes that floor, which most sales-gated vendors will not do. The compliance stack is the strongest here alongside Bland — SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR and ISO 27001, with EU or US hosting. But there is no self-serve path at all: you cannot place a test call without going through sales.
