JustCall is for sales teams. Central is for your front desk.
Stop paying for a dialer you don't need. Start with something built for inbound.
Never miss another call.
One dials out. One takes calls.
JustCall is a cloud phone system for sales teams: power dialers, bulk SMS, AI coaching, outbound automation. For high-volume outbound operations, it is capable.
For a service business that needs inbound calls answered, the structure gets in the way. A 2-user minimum means solo operators pay for a seat they don't use. The AI receptionist is a separate add-on at $99/month. Before a single call is handled by AI, you're spending at least $157/month.
Central is $79/month. No minimum seats. No add-on. No overage.

No add-on
No commitment required.
Add-ons, minimums, and feature gates.
Every structural decision in JustCall reflects a product built for outbound sales teams. The AI receptionist is a paid add-on. The 2-user minimum charges solo operators for a seat they don't use. Key integrations are gated behind higher tiers.
What this means in practice:
AI Voice Agent is a separate add-on. No base plan includes it.
Solo operators pay $58/month for two required seats before the $99 AI add-on
AI overages at $0.99/minute; at 100 three-minute calls that is $198 beyond the Lite plan
Salesforce requires the $49 Pro plan, nearly doubling per-seat cost
Core features (power dialer, bulk SMS, coaching) are built for outbound reps, not front desks
One price. No add-ons. Starts today.
Connect your website URL and calendar and Central starts handling inbound calls the same day. No minimum seats. No add-on. No overage.
