JustCall’s pricing page lists five named tiers, and the real per-seat cost only becomes clear once you factor in the 2-license minimum on almost every plan and the add-ons JustCall sells separately. Below are JustCall’s actual 2026 numbers, verified directly on justcall.io/pricing as of August 2026 — followed by an honest look at where KrispCall costs meaningfully less for the call volumes and international-dialing patterns typical of a distributed, multi-site research office, and the one real area where JustCall is still the better tool.

JustCall vs KrispCall at a glance
JustCall’s 2026 pricing runs $29–$89/user/month billed annually (2-license minimum on every tier, 10 on Business), with the entry Team plan bundling unlimited minutes across Europe and 500 SMS segments — real cost climbs once you add extra number blocks ($75–$650/month) or the separate AI Voice Agent. KrispCall’s Essential and Standard plans start lower (around $12–$32/user/month per third-party pricing trackers, since KrispCall’s own pricing page blocks automated verification) but meter calls and texts pay-as-you-go on top — which tends to cost less for a distributed, lower-volume research office and more for a high-call-volume team. JustCall’s SMS/WhatsApp business-messaging tools are the more built-out of the two, so a team running large-scale participant SMS campaigns may still be better served by JustCall.

Hidden JustCall fees to watch for
None of these are disclosed prominently on the pricing page’s headline numbers — they only show up once you start configuring a real account:
- The “unlimited minutes” on Team is scoped to Europe. JustCall’s own copy specifies “unlimited outbound minutes across Europe” on the entry tier — calls to sites outside Europe are not automatically covered by that unlimited allowance, which matters directly if your office is dialing multi-site collaborators in, say, Asia or Latin America.
- 2-license minimums stack the real entry cost. A single coordinator can’t buy one Team seat — the practical floor is $58/month (2 × $29), and Business jumps to a 10-license minimum before you can even see its custom quote.
- Extra phone numbers are sold in blocks, not individually. 50 numbers run $75–$225/month, 100 numbers $150–$360/month, and 200 numbers $200–$650/month depending on plan tier — expensive if you only need a handful of additional site-specific lines.
- The AI Voice Agent is a separate line item. Pay-as-you-go is $0.99/minute; Agent Lite is $99/month for 100 included minutes; Agent Max is $249/month for 300 minutes plus voice cloning and multilingual support. None of this is bundled into Team, Pro, or Pro Plus.
KrispCall vs JustCall for research coordinator teams
KrispCall’s own pricing page blocks automated verification (a 403 response as of August 2026), so treat the figures below as third-party-reported — drawn from pricing-tracker sites and KrispCall’s help-center documentation, and consistent with CASRAI’s own separately-verified KrispCall review — rather than independently scraped first-hand the way the JustCall numbers above were. Confirm current pricing on KrispCall’s own site before you budget against it.
- Essential — around $12/user/month billed annually ($15/month billed monthly), for up to 5 users.
- Standard — around $32/user/month billed annually ($40/month billed monthly), unlimited users.
- Enterprise — custom pricing, adding developer support, a dedicated account manager, and bundled calling/SMS rates.
The structural difference that actually drives the cost comparison: KrispCall’s subscription pays for the platform and a number, and calls plus texts are billed pay-as-you-go on top at every tier — it doesn’t bundle a block of “unlimited” minutes the way JustCall’s Team plan does. For a high-volume call center, that usage-based model can get expensive fast. But for a distributed, multi-site research office that isn’t on the phone constantly — a handful of coordinators making scheduled participant and site-visit calls rather than running a dial-heavy campaign — paying a lower base seat price ($12–32 vs. JustCall’s $29–89) and metering only the minutes actually used tends to come out cheaper than paying for JustCall’s bundled-but-partly-unused unlimited allowance, especially once international sites outside Europe fall outside JustCall’s “unlimited” scope in the first place.
Where JustCall is genuinely the better fit: business messaging at scale. JustCall’s SMS and WhatsApp Business tooling — bulk SMS campaigns, an AI-drafted SMS Copilot, and a purpose-built messaging workflow — is more built out than KrispCall’s. If your office runs high-volume automated SMS or WhatsApp reminders to trial participants (visit reminders, medication-adherence nudges, recruitment follow-up at real scale), JustCall’s messaging stack is the more mature tool for that job specifically, and that’s worth the higher seat price if messaging volume, not call volume, is your actual bottleneck. See our guide on reducing no-shows with participant reminders for what that workflow needs to cover.
Is there a JustCall free trial?

Frequently asked questions
What are JustCall’s plans and per-line pricing?
Team is $29/user/month, Pro is $49, and Pro Plus is $89 — all billed annually with a 2-license minimum. Business (10-license minimum) and SalesPro are custom-quoted. Annual billing saves up to 29% versus monthly.
What hidden JustCall fees should I watch for?
The Team plan’s “unlimited minutes” only covers calls across Europe; the 2-license (or 10-license, on Business) minimum raises the real entry cost above the per-seat headline price; extra phone numbers are sold in $75–$650/month blocks rather than individually; and the AI Voice Agent is billed separately from $0.99/minute or $99–$249/month.
Is KrispCall or JustCall better for a research coordinator team?
It depends on what’s driving your cost: for lower call volumes, KrispCall’s roughly $12–32/user/month plans plus pay-as-you-go usage typically cost less. For teams running high-volume SMS or WhatsApp participant-messaging campaigns, JustCall’s more mature messaging tooling is the better fit despite its higher seat price.
Is there a JustCall free trial?
Yes — a 14-day free trial with full platform access, plus a 30-day grace window afterward to subscribe before the account is deleted.
