Orum Pricing Breakdown 2026: What Parallel Dialing Really Costs Your SDR Team
Orum doesn't publicly list prices on their website — they want you to "talk to sales." But we've done the research so you don't have to.
Here's what Orum actually costs in 2026, plan by plan, with the hidden costs most reviews won't tell you about.
Orum Pricing Plans at a Glance
| Plan | Price | Commitment | Parallel Lines | Caller IDs | Data Credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | $250/user/mo | Annual only | Up to 5 | 5/month | 200/rep/mo |
| Ascend | Custom (est. $400-500+/user/mo) | Annual only | Up to 10 | 10/month | Included |
| Enterprise | Custom | Annual only | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Key detail: There is no monthly billing option. You're locked into an annual contract from day one.
Launch Plan: $250/User/Month
The Launch plan is Orum's entry point, and it's already a significant investment at $3,000 per user per year.
What You Get
- Up to 5 parallel dials per rep
- 5 caller IDs per month
- 200 data enrichment credits per rep per month
- Basic AI automation features
- Standard reporting and analytics

What You Don't Get

The Math for a 5-Person SDR Team
At $250/user/month, a 5-person team costs:
- Monthly: $1,250
- Annual commitment: $15,000
- Per-rep annual cost: $3,000
And that's just the dialer. You still need a separate tool for email automation, visitor identification, LinkedIn outreach, and CRM management.
Ascend Plan: $400-500+/User/Month (Estimated)
Orum doesn't publish Ascend pricing. Based on third-party data and user reports, it's estimated at $400-500+ per user per month, though pricing varies by deal.
What Ascend Adds Over Launch
- Up to 10 parallel dials (double the capacity)
- 10 caller IDs per month
- Data enrichment included (no credit limits)
- AI Coaching Suite with personalized coaching portals
- AI call scorecards
- AI roleplay for training
- Virtual Salesfloor for team collaboration
- Enterprise reporting
- Priority support
The Math for a 5-Person SDR Team
At $450/user/month (mid-range estimate):
- Monthly: $2,250
- Annual commitment: $27,000
- Per-rep annual cost: $5,400
The Hidden Costs Nobody Mentions
1. It's Phone Only
Orum is a dialer. That's it. No email sequences, no LinkedIn automation, no website visitor identification, no AI chatbot. For a complete SDR workflow, you'll need to stack additional tools:
| Additional Tool | Typical Cost | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Email sequencer (Outreach/SalesLoft) | $100-150/user/mo | Email automation |
| Visitor ID (Clearbit/Warmly) | $500-2,000/mo | Website identification |
| LinkedIn automation (HeyReach/Dripify) | $50-100/user/mo | LinkedIn outreach |
| Data provider (ZoomInfo/Apollo) | $150-300/user/mo | Contact data |
Total stack cost for a 5-person team: $3,500-6,000+/month — on top of Orum's $1,250-2,250.
2. No Monthly Billing
Annual contracts only. If Orum doesn't work for your team, you're stuck paying for 12 months. No month-to-month option to test the waters.
3. The Parallel Dialing Lag Problem
This is consistently the #1 complaint on Reddit and G2. Orum's parallel dialing introduces a 1-2 second delay when a prospect picks up. Multiple users report this as a dealbreaker:
"There is a 1-2 second delay during the answer which myself and the other stakeholder feel is a bit long and possibly a dealbreaker." — r/sales user
"They all have a lag that ruins the conversation from the very beginning and destroys relationships." — r/sales user
That delay erodes the very trust you're trying to build on cold calls.
4. No Time to Prepare Between Calls
When you're blasting through 600 dials an hour, there's no time to read the prospect's LinkedIn, check their company's news, or personalize your opening. One user reported their team opted against implementing Orum specifically because:
"The main complaint on my team was that you had no time to prepare."
Volume without preparation leads to more connects but worse conversations.
5. Data Enrichment Credit Limits
On the Launch plan, you only get 200 data enrichment credits per rep per month. If your reps are making 200+ calls per day, that data runs out fast. You'll either need to upgrade to Ascend or buy a separate data provider.
Who Orum Is Built For
Orum makes sense for teams that:
- Already have email, LinkedIn, and CRM tools in place
- Run a phone-first outbound motion
- Have 5+ SDRs who primarily cold call
- Can absorb the $250+/user/month cost on top of their existing stack
- Are willing to accept the parallel dialing lag
- Want AI coaching and call scoring (Ascend plan)
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Orum is probably not the right fit if you:
- Need a complete SDR platform (email + phone + LinkedIn + visitor ID)
- Have a small team (1-3 SDRs) — the annual commitment is steep
- Want month-to-month billing to test before committing
- Run multi-channel outreach beyond just phone
- Can't justify paying for 4-5 separate tools to cover what one platform could handle
How Orum Compares to an All-in-One SDR Platform
| Capability | Orum ($250/user/mo) | MarketBetter ($500/mo for 3 seats) |
|---|---|---|
| Parallel/smart dialer | ✅ Up to 10 lines | ✅ Built-in |
| Email automation | ❌ Need separate tool | ✅ Included |
| Website visitor ID | ❌ Need separate tool | ✅ Included |
| AI chatbot | ❌ | ✅ Included |
| Daily SDR playbook | ❌ | ✅ Included |
| LinkedIn automation | ❌ Need separate tool | ✅ Coming soon |
| Data enrichment | ⚠️ Limited credits | ✅ 2K-15K credits included |
| Monthly billing | ❌ Annual only | ✅ Available |
| Cost for 3 SDRs | $750/mo + stack | $500/mo all-in |
For a 3-person SDR team, MarketBetter gives you a complete platform at roughly the cost of Orum's dialer alone — before you add email, visitor ID, and data tools on top.
The Bottom Line
Orum is the best parallel dialer on the market. If your team lives on the phone and already has every other tool in place, it can meaningfully increase call volume.
But at $250-500/user/month for one channel, plus annual contracts only, plus the well-documented connection lag — it's a significant investment in a single-channel solution.
If you want one platform that covers calling, email, visitor identification, and daily playbooks, book a demo with MarketBetter and see what a complete SDR operating system looks like.
