Telodial alternative with an iPhone app, WhatsApp calling and live GPS

What is a good Telodial alternative?

The right Telodial alternative depends on what Telodial leaves out for your team, and the most common gap is iPhone: Telodial says it has no iPhone version for callers. AutoDial CRM runs on both Android and iPhone, and the wider auto dialer app comparison puts both next to four other apps.

Telodial presents itself as telecalling CRM software for Indian teams that sell by phone. Its dialer rings the next number after a pause you set, from the caller’s own SIM, and it adds statuses, alarm reminders, WhatsApp after calls, campaigns and a shared inbox, plus selfie attendance with a location. AutoDial CRM does that too. What its feature list adds, compared with what Telodial publishes, is an iPhone app, list calling over WhatsApp, automatic redial, imported call recordings and a live route of field staff during working hours. Telodial is cheaper per user and offers free onboarding, which is a fair reason to stay.

Telodial vs AutoDial CRM: what changes when you switch

• iPhone callers

  Staff with an iPhone get every feature except the phone call log.

• Recordings on the lead

  The phone's own recordings are imported and kept with each call.

• Live field route

  A point every 15 seconds while punched in, with stops and kilometres on the web.

• WhatsApp calls from the dialer

  Run a list as WhatsApp calls when leads ignore unknown numbers.

Telodial vs AutoDial CRM: feature table

Telodial alternative: price per user compared

Telodial is the cheaper product. A Telodial “3-month plan” costs ₹747 per user per quarter, which it shows as ₹249 a month; the “Yearly plan” comes to ₹1,908 per user, shown as ₹159 a month, and taxes are added to both. On AutoDial CRM a quarter is ₹897 per user (₹299 a month) and a year is ₹2,388 per user (₹199 a month); priced in US dollars, those monthly rates are $3.79 and $2.79.

That makes Telodial ₹50 a month cheaper per user on the short term and ₹60 a month cheaper on the yearly term. Telodial does not state a free plan, offers a 3-day trial with every feature and no card, and does not count an owner who only reads the dashboard as a user. Telodial’s shortest term is three months.

Telodial alternative: when Telodial is the better choice

Stay with Telodial if everyone who calls uses Android and the lower price matters more than the extras listed above. Telodial also gives a free onboarding call in English, Hindi or Marathi, offers support in those three languages six days a week, and says its records and calling keep working offline and sync later. If your owner only checks the dashboard, Telodial does not charge for that login. Telodial itself says it is not for floors of fifty or more agents working purchased lists; a floor like that is better served by a cloud call center product than by either phone app.

Telodial alternative: switching steps

1. Export your leads to a spreadsheet (Excel or CSV) or copy them into a Google Sheet, keeping each status in its own column.
2. Install AutoDial CRM on every caller’s phone, iPhone included, and let it act as the phone app on Android.
3. Import the file, map the columns, and rebuild your status names as a custom pipeline.
4. Assign leads to each caller, then set the gap between calls and the number of redials.
5. If staff work in the field, turn on branch attendance rules and ask each person to switch on live location.

Telodial alternative: limits

AutoDial CRM costs more than Telodial on both terms, and its pages here do not promise free onboarding or a free owner seat. Recording is left to the phone: AutoDial CRM pulls in the files the phone saves rather than recording on its own. Attendance punches work without internet, but this page does not claim the same for calling. Live location runs only after the employee turns it on and only between punch in and punch out; the staff attendance app page covers the punch rules.

Telodial alternative: example

An illustration, not a named customer. A real estate developer in Bhopal has 4 telecallers and 3 site executives, and 2 of the site executives use iPhones. The telecallers call about 120 enquiries a day; the site executives drive buyers to two projects. The owner moves everyone to AutoDial CRM so the iPhone users can log visits too, and the web route view shows each executive’s stops at the sites and the day’s kilometres. The team now pays ₹2,388 per user a year, more than before, for one app across both phone types.
