What should you look for in a Telodial alternative?
NLCaller is a telecalling CRM and phone dialer, and it earns a place as a Telodial alternative in two situations that Telodial's own website settles. First, Telodial says there is no iPhone version for callers, while NLCaller runs on iPhone with everything except access to the handset's call history, so a team where some people use iPhones can stay on one system. Second, Telodial's pricing page lists a 3-day trial but no plan that stays free, whereas NLCaller keeps its Basic Dialer at ₹0 for good, which covers calls, an automatic WhatsApp once each call is over, and the analytics rings. On cost Telodial is the cheaper of the two in India: ₹1,908 a year per user against NLCaller's ₹1,944, and ₹747 against ₹762 for a quarter, before tax. Both apps run on Android, both have a web dashboard and both dial from your own SIM. Telodial's details were copied from its pricing and download pages as they stood on 3 October 2026.
Teams that are still deciding between several tools can also read the NLCaller and Dialmio comparison, or start from what an auto dialer on your own SIM does in a calling day.
Where does Telodial sit in the published price and platform table?
Each value below comes from the maker's own website, read on 3 October 2026. Telodial shares the lowest Indian list price with two other tools, RMDialer and Dialmio, quotes its own rate for teams above 25 callers, and lists 40 languages. Its row also shows the two gaps behind most searches for an alternative: no iPhone version for callers, and no plan that stays free once the trial ends.

Which one fits which team?
Read across to your own case. Telodial wins several rows, and the table says which.
| Situation | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Every caller uses Android and price decides | Telodial | ₹159 a user a month on its yearly plan, ₹3 under NLCaller, which adds up to ₹36 a seat each year |
| A floor of more than 25 callers | Telodial, after a quote | It offers custom pricing above 25 callers; NLCaller publishes no team rate |
| Some callers carry iPhones | NLCaller | Telodial states it has no iPhone version for callers |
| The owner wants a free dialer to keep after the trial | NLCaller | The Basic Dialer stays at ₹0; Telodial lists only a 3-day trial |
| Staff work in a regional language | Either | Telodial lists 40 languages and NLCaller lists 40+ |
| A buyer paying in dollars | NLCaller | $25 a year or $13 a quarter is published; Telodial does not publish a price outside India |
| Only Google Play installs are allowed | Telodial | Telodial publishes a Google Play listing needing Android 8 or above; NLCaller reaches you through a WhatsApp chat |
When should you stay with Telodial?
Moving tools costs a team time, so keep Telodial if these describe you.
- Your whole team is on Android and nobody plans to switch phones. The iPhone gap then never touches you.
- You run more than 25 callers and can get Telodial's quoted rate. NLCaller has no published bulk price to beat it with.
- You want the lowest Indian list price. Telodial charges ₹249 a month on its quarterly plan where NLCaller asks ₹254 and Telecalling Software ₹251.
- You are happy with your current setup and data. A ₹3 monthly difference rarely justifies retraining a working floor.
What does an iPhone user on your team get in NLCaller?
This is the main reason teams compare the two, so here is what carries over to iPhone. Only the reading of the phone's own call history stays on Android.
- Lead records with source tags, custom fields, a status pipeline you name yourself and the remark history from earlier calls.
- Follow-up reminders that ring at the set minute, with call-back, reschedule and a WhatsApp message attached if you want one.
- The WhatsApp CRM chat inbox, with templates, read receipts and the lead's details beside every conversation.
- Paid clients, renewal reminders and revenue cards, so a manager on an iPhone can follow sales as closely as the Android callers.
Sample views from owners running callers on two kinds of phone
“Our two senior advisers use iPhones. Having them on the same lead list as the Android callers mattered more to me than anything else.”
Director, study abroad consultancy, Chandigarh
“I keep the free dialer on my own phone for the WhatsApp that goes after each call, and pay only for the callers' seats.”
Proprietor, modular kitchen showroom, Nashik
“The status list matches how we sell, from first call to site visit, because we named every stage ourselves.”
Sales coordinator, plotted land developer, Vijayawada

When is neither NLCaller nor Telodial the answer?
Both tools assume your people talk to customers from their own mobile numbers. Look elsewhere if:
- Calls have to come from a shared business number that customers see, rented from a telephony provider.
- You want pre-recorded voice messages played to a whole list with nobody on the line.
- Agents must work from a desktop softphone with a headset instead of a phone.
Questions people ask
What is the best Telodial alternative for a team with iPhones?
For a team that includes iPhone users, the best Telodial alternative is NLCaller, because Telodial's own download page says there is no iPhone version for callers, while NLCaller publishes one that lacks only the phone's call history.
Is Telodial cheaper than NLCaller?
Yes, slightly. Telodial lists ₹159 a month per user on yearly billing and ₹249 on the quarterly plan, plus taxes. NLCaller lists ₹162 and ₹254, plus GST. Prices were checked on 3 October 2026.
Does Telodial have a free plan?
Not on the pricing page we read on 3 October 2026, which offers a card-free trial of 3 days and then paid seats only. NLCaller offers the same trial length and also keeps a free Basic Dialer.
What kind of app is NLCaller, and who builds it?
NLCaller is a SIM-based telecalling CRM that doubles as the Android phone's dialer, so leads, follow-up alarms, list dialling and WhatsApp messages share one app with the calls. Nishita Solutions, a Bhubaneswar company, builds and supports it.
Can I move my leads from Telodial to NLCaller?
If your leads can leave Telodial as an Excel, CSV or JSON file, NLCaller can take them in, and it can also keep re-reading a Google Sheet on a timer. Repeated numbers are dropped while the file loads.
Do both apps call from my own SIM?
Yes. Both publish that calls go out on the SIM already in the phone, and both offer a web dashboard for managers.
