Two very different visions

Aircall is an excellent cloud telephony platform. Its goal is to become your company's phone system.

At Flunter, our ambition is different. We don't try to replace your company phone.

We want to build the best possible tool for commercial prospecting.

Aircall optimizes your telephony. Flunter optimizes your prospecting results.

Built by sales people, for sales people

When we develop a new feature, we always ask the same question:

Will this allow sales reps to spend more time in conversation with their prospects?

If the answer is no, it's not a priority. Our goal is not to build the most complete telephony software. It's to build the best prospecting tool.

The real cost of prospecting isn't your software

The main cost of a sales team isn't its SaaS subscription.

It's your sales reps' time.

Every minute spent dialing, waiting, hitting voicemail, or calling back is a minute your company pays a sales rep who isn't talking to a prospect.

The cost of software is manageable. The cost of wasted time accumulates silently.

Why the Parallel Dialer changes everything

Aircall offers a Power Dialer that automates dialing sequentially to reduce manual tasks.

At Flunter, we went further. Our Parallel Dialer can launch up to five calls simultaneously. When a prospect picks up, the sales rep is connected immediately: other calls are dropped and voicemails avoided thanks to our detection technology.

For a prospecting team, this difference can represent dozens of hours saved every month.

A platform with one KPI

At Flunter, we track one indicator above all others.

Time spent in conversation with prospects.

We believe that drives meetings, revenue, and prospecting ROI. Every feature pursues the same goal. The phone is not a final destination. It's a lever.

Aircall has some more advanced features today

We believe in transparency. Aircall has several highly developed features around business telephony: live coaching, call whispering, a mature mobile app, and advanced call centre capabilities.

At Flunter, several of these features are on our roadmap. Our priority was simply different.

  • The Parallel Dialer: up to 5 simultaneous calls

  • The Power Dialer

  • Proprietary voicemail detection

  • The prospect experience

  • CRM experience

  • Ease of use

This is not a delay. It's a roadmap choice.

What moves a sales team forward isn't the number of calls made. It's the number of conversations that create opportunities.

Frequently asked questions

  • For a prospecting team, Flunter adds a Parallel Dialer that runs up to 5 calls at once, while Aircall dials sequentially.

If you also need a switchboard or phone support, Aircall covers a broader scope.
