CallHippo offers three auto-dialing modes, and the right one depends on how much control, speed, and automation your team needs.
How the Three Dialers Compare
Power Dialer, Parallel Dialer, and Speed to Dial each handle outbound calling differently. Here is a side-by-side look at how they perform across the factors that matter most.

| Dialing method | Calls are made one at a time when an agent is free. | Uses AI to predict agent availability and dials several numbers simultaneously. | Calls fire automatically when a lead or contact is created or updated in your CRM. |
