The Orum alternative for team calling
Orum is built for outbound sales floors. Callshake is a better fit when your team needs one business calling workspace with routing, voicemail, recordings, history, and clean handoffs.
The question is not which dialer is louder. It is which phone workflow your team actually runs.
Orum is strongest for SDR organizations built around parallel dialing, coaching, and sales-floor energy. Callshake fits teams that want a cleaner calling workflow around business numbers, schedules, and follow-up.
One public number, clear ownership
Teams can keep a business number consistent and still know who handled what inside the workspace.
Coverage changes by shift, not by org chart
Use call forwarding and schedule rules to keep the same number working through handoffs, lunch breaks, and time zones.
Missed calls still need a path forward
With voicemail, nothing falls into a dead end when a teammate is offline or a forwarded call goes unanswered.
The next person needs the whole story
Shared call history, recordings, and live activity make handoffs practical instead of tribal knowledge.
The parts of team calling that matter after the dial
Callshake is not trying to recreate a virtual sales floor. It gives teams a cleaner operating system for business numbers, routing, visibility, and follow-up.
Shared number ownership
Multiple teammates can work from the same business number without losing accountability for who answered, called back, or followed up.
Schedule-based coverage
Use call forwarding rules to move incoming calls to the right teammate as shifts and time zones change.
Voicemail that catches misses
Pair live coverage with voicemail so unanswered calls still carry context into the next action.
History built for handoffs
Shared call history gives the next teammate the full picture without asking around first.
Live activity for leads
Use live activity to see who is calling, free, or building momentum right now.
Review calls together
With call recording, teams can revisit important conversations instead of relying on summaries and memory.
Pick the system that matches the team you run.
Both products take calling seriously. The difference is where each one centers the workflow: outbound sales acceleration on one side, and a broader team calling workspace on the other.
Callshake Team starts at $29 per seat, with one user, instant signup and no sales call required.
Start Callshake Team with one user for $29/month. Orum Launch starts at 3 seats, requires a sales process, and is commonly priced around $250 per user/month on annual contracts.

What teams usually ask before switching from Orum
The right answer depends on whether your team is buying a dialer for rep throughput or a shared calling system for day-to-day operations.
Is Callshake a direct replacement for Orum?
Not if your team is buying Orum for parallel dialing at scale. Callshake is the better fit when you want a simpler calling workflow around shared history, routing, voicemail, and follow-up.
What if our reps want more time to prep between calls?
Callshake leaves out parallel dialing on purpose, so reps can look at call history, notes, and the next action before they dial again.
How does pricing compare at the start?
Callshake Team starts at $29 per seat and can start with one seat. Orum's published Launch plan uses request pricing and a 3-seat minimum, so the first order is larger before the team is even active.
Can a small team start without overbuying seats?
Yes. That is one of the reasons teams choose Callshake early. You can start with a single seat and add more when the workflow needs them.
Does Callshake keep calls and notes together?
Yes. Calls, notes, recordings, and call history stay in one unified view so the next person does not have to reconstruct the conversation.
Does Callshake need a desktop app?
No. It runs in the browser, which makes it easier to start fast and keep the workflow consistent across the team.
Can different teammates handle the same business number?
Yes. That number can stay consistent while you shift ownership, coverage, and follow-up between teammates as the day changes.
Is Orum still better for power dialing?
Yes. If the core job is parallel dialing and outbound acceleration, Orum is more specialized. Callshake is better when you want broader phone operations around the team.
What does Callshake add besides calling?
Call history, voicemail, recordings, forwarding, and live activity all sit around the call so teams can review and route work without bouncing between tools.
Who should probably stay on Orum?
Teams that want a sales-dialer-first product with parallel dialing, Salesfloor, and coaching at the center of the experience will usually get more from Orum.
