Features
  • CNAM Standard Standard incoming caller-name lookup: see who is calling by name, not just number, on your phones and in your call history.
  • On-Demand Call Recording Start or stop recording any call in progress from the softphone, the mobile app, or a key press on your desk phone, and keep only what matters.
  • SMS Messaging Send and receive text messages from your business numbers, right from the portal and mobile app.
  • Spam Filtering Lite Scores every inbound call using carrier call-authentication (STIR/SHAKEN) so suspected robocalls and spam are identified; you choose in Spam Scoring settings whether flagged calls are marked, rejected, or allowed through.
  • add-on CNAM Premium Enhanced incoming caller-name lookup (CNAM+): richer, more accurate names for the callers ringing your numbers, from a broader carrier data source than the standard lookup.
  • add-on eFax Access Receive faxes on a dedicated fax number and get them delivered to your email as PDF attachments. No fax machine needed.
  • add-on Toll-Free Access Give customers a toll-free number to reach you, with usage billed by minute package.
  • - 10DLC SMS Sending Send business text messages to US customers through registered 10DLC campaigns, so your outbound texts are carrier-approved and deliver reliably.
  • - Agent Monitoring (Whisper/Barge) Supervisors can listen to a live call, whisper coaching to the agent without the caller hearing, or barge in as a three-way participant.
  • - AI Call Transcription (per extension) Extension calls are transcribed and summarized by AI and delivered by email, so nobody has to take notes on the call. (With CRM Integration, summaries can also post to your CRM.)
  • - Automatic Call Recording Record calls automatically: switch it on for the whole account, per phone number for inbound, or per extension for outbound, with recordings kept for the retention period you choose.
  • - Call Center Queues Route callers to teams of agents with queueing, hold music, position announcements, and agent login/logout: the foundation of a call center.
  • - Cloudspire Assist Access Real-time AI guidance for your agents during live queue calls: suggested answers and coaching as the conversation happens.
  • - CRM Integration Connect your CRM so callers are recognized by name, calls are logged to their record, and your team clicks to dial from the CRM.
  • - Skill-Based Routing Send each queued caller to the agent best equipped for their need, by language, product, or expertise, instead of the next free agent.
  • - Wallboards Live queue and agent dashboards for a wall display (calls waiting, wait times, agent status) so the whole team sees the floor at a glance.
Optional add-ons
  • CNAM Premium $1.99/mo per extension Enhanced incoming caller-name lookup (CNAM+) on your numbers: richer, more accurate caller names from a broader carrier data source than the standard lookup. Priced per extension.

Where the two are different

Dialpad bills its AI agents by prepaid credits that are consumed per action. Cloudspire AI agents are a monthly plan per agent with included voice minutes and messages, then per-minute and per-message usage.

Dialpad splits phone, support and sales into separate product lines. Cloudspire keeps extensions, queues, CRM integration and AI agents on one platform and one bill.

Dialpad publishes a wide AI feature set across its product lines; if you are comparing on AI breadth, read both capability pages side by side.

How does Cloudspire bill AI calls compared with Dialpad credits?

Each Cloudspire AI plan is priced per agent per month and includes voice minutes and messages; use beyond that is billed per minute and per message. There are no prepaid credit pools to size.

Can a Cloudspire AI agent transfer to a real person?

Yes. Agents transfer to extensions, queues or outside numbers, take structured messages when nobody is available, and can text the caller mid-call.

Does Cloudspire integrate with my CRM?

Yes. HubSpot, Salesforce and Zoho integrations provide click-to-call, automatic call logging and screen pop, and AI agents can look up and update records during a call.
