What is the best cold calling setup for one rep or a small team?
One tool that does the data, the calling and the follow-up, with no seat minimum. The usual stack of Lusha, Aircall and HubSpot comes to $189.90 a month for one rep; PitchWhip is $49 a seat plus calling minutes from US$15.

What PitchWhip does.
- No seat minimum: one rep pays for one seat. Aircall's Essentials plan needs three licences on either billing.
- Reveals, calling and follow-up are in one tool, so there is nothing to connect.
- Monthly or annual billing, and you can cancel renewal from the dashboard.
- HubSpot, Salesforce and Google Sheets sync are included when you outgrow it.
When it is not the right tool.
If you need a full phone system for support as well as sales, or unlimited US and Canada calling, a dedicated phone system like Aircall fits better.
