Why the Dialer Matters More Than the Leads
You can buy the best leads in the industry, but if your dialer is slow, drops calls, or flags your numbers as spam, those leads are wasted. Insurance sales is a phone-first business, and the dialer is the single tool agents spend the most time using. Getting this choice right has a direct impact on revenue.
Here is what actually matters when choosing a dialer for insurance, and how six popular options compare.
Single-Line vs Multi-Line Dialing
Single-line dialers call one number at a time. Multi-line dialers call multiple numbers simultaneously and connect you to the first person who picks up. Multi-line sounds faster, and it is, but it comes with trade-offs. When multiple people answer at once, the extras get dropped or hear silence before a recording. This burns through leads faster and can generate complaints. Multi-line also triggers answering machine detection more aggressively, which sometimes drops live answers.
For insurance, where every lead has a real cost and you want to build trust from the first second of the call, single-line or low-ratio multi-line dialing usually performs better than aggressive multi-line.
Mojo
Mojo is widely used in real estate but also has a presence in insurance. It offers triple-line dialing and is known for high call volume. Mojo owns its own phone infrastructure, which gives it an edge on call quality and connection rates.
The interface is older and not as intuitive as newer tools. CRM integration is limited. Pricing is around $99 per month for single-line and $149 for triple-line. Mojo is best for agents who prioritize raw dial volume above everything else and do not need deep CRM functionality in the same tool.
PhoneBurner
PhoneBurner is a single-line power dialer that eliminates the pause between calls. When a call ends, the next one starts immediately. There is no answering machine detection delay because it is single-line, which means you connect with live answers cleanly. PhoneBurner also includes a built-in CRM, email tools, and call recording.
The downside is speed. Single-line dialing means fewer total dials per hour compared to multi-line options. Pricing is approximately $140 to $170 per month per seat depending on the plan. PhoneBurner is best for agents who value call quality and a clean workflow over maximum dial volume.
Kixie
Kixie integrates tightly with HubSpot, Pipedrive, and other popular CRMs. It offers a multi-line power dialer, local presence dialing, automatic voicemail drop, and call recording. The CRM integrations are the real selling point. If your agency already runs on HubSpot, Kixie slots in cleanly.
The pricing is higher than some competitors, starting around $95 per month per user for the basic plan and going up to $135 or more for the full power dialer features. Call quality reports are mixed, with some users reporting latency issues. Best for agencies already committed to a CRM like HubSpot that want tight native integration.
Readymode (formerly Xencall)
Readymode is a predictive dialer built for high-volume call centers. It offers multi-line dialing with sophisticated answering machine detection, real-time reporting, and built-in CRM functionality. It is used by several large insurance agencies and IMOs.
Readymode is powerful but complex. Setup takes time, and the platform has a steep learning curve. Pricing is not publicly listed and is typically quoted per seat, often running $150 or more per month per agent. Best for agencies with 10 or more agents who want call center-grade features and are willing to invest in setup and training.
Convoso
Convoso is another heavy-hitting predictive dialer aimed at larger teams. Its strength is compliance tooling, including DNC list scrubbing, TCPA consent tracking, and real-time compliance dashboards. Convoso also offers sophisticated call routing and lead prioritization.
The platform is expensive and designed for scale. Pricing starts at several hundred dollars per month per seat. The onboarding process is involved. Convoso is best for large agencies or call centers with dedicated compliance requirements and the budget to match.
Closd
Closd includes a built-in power dialer as part of its all-in-one insurance platform. The dialer connects directly to the CRM, lead pipeline, and commission tracking, so agents dial from the same system where they manage their entire workflow. There is no data syncing between a separate dialer and a separate CRM.
The dialer supports features like local presence, voicemail drop, call recording, and disposition tracking. Because it is built into the platform, call outcomes flow directly into lead records and reporting. Closd is best for insurance agencies that want their dialer and CRM in one place.

TCPA Compliance Is Non-Negotiable
Whichever dialer you choose, make sure it supports TCPA compliance. This means DNC list management, consent tracking, and time-zone-aware calling restrictions. Violations carry penalties of $500 to $1,500 per call, and class action lawsuits against insurance agencies are not hypothetical. Every dialer on this list offers some level of compliance tooling, but the depth varies. Ask specifically about consent management and DNC scrubbing before you commit.
