Readymode Review (2026)iQ Halves the Cost Per Number

Pricing (2026)

✓ Pricing re-verified 15 Oct 2026

Two published plans, priced per license per month, with a Monthly/Annual toggle: Starter $239 billed monthly or $199 billed annually, for 1+ licenses, and iQ $299 billed monthly or $249 billed annually, which the page calls ideal for 5+ licenses. The page labels the annual price '20% OFF' and says 'Save 20% when you sign up for an annual plan'; our arithmetic gives 16.7% ($199 is $40 below $239, $249 is $50 below $299; a 20% cut would be $191.20 and $239.20).

A Custom option is offered for 20+ licenses. Both waive the set-up fee and the phone-number (DID) activation fee, both give free outbound minutes subject to a fair-use policy, and both charge inbound at $0.02/min. Starter includes up to 30 DIDs per license; iQ includes up to 75 and adds caller-ID reputation monitoring, assisted remediation, call cadencing, Autopilot and unlimited integrations, none of which Starter has.

What the pricing page doesn’t say

The catch

Predictive dialing also carries compliance responsibility (TCPA and similar): the speed is only an asset if your calling practices stay compliant. For high-volume outbound teams, it's a genuine efficiency engine.

Themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026; TrustRadius and SourceForge read 7 October 2026. We have not run Readymode ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.

iQ is half the price per phone number

Two published plans, priced per licence per month: Starter at $239 and iQ at $299 billed monthly, or $199 and $249 billed annually, the latter described as ideal for five or more licences. Both waive the set-up fee and the DID activation fee, both give free outbound minutes under a fair-use policy, and both bill inbound at $0.02 a minute. Start with the billing term. Before 1 August the only prices were $199 and $249; since then those are the annual rates and monthly billing costs $239 and $299.

The page calls annual billing 20% off, but the saving is $40 and $50 a licence a month, which is 16.7%. A quote at $199 or $249 is therefore only current if it assumes a year's commitment. The roughly $200 admin fee for sharing a licence is not on the page. The gap between the two plans looks like $60, or 25%. Price it per phone number instead and it inverts.

Starter includes up to 30 DIDs per licence, which is $7.97 per number; iQ includes up to 75, which is $3.99. iQ is exactly half the cost per number — and for an outbound floor, numbers are not a nice-to-have, they are the consumable. Worse, the tooling that keeps those numbers alive lives only on iQ: caller-ID reputation monitoring and assisted remediation. On Starter you get fewer numbers and no way to find out when the carriers have started flagging them, which is the failure mode that quietly halves a dialler's connect rate.

Call cadencing, Autopilot and unlimited integrations are iQ-only too. Two costs that are easy to miss. Implementation and training are included from three licences — so a one- or two-seat deployment pays for them, and the page does not say how much. And the complimentary Admin licence that comes with every plan is explicitly not an agent licence: no floor plan, no web phone. A manager who also dials needs a paid seat, so a 'five-agent floor with a supervisor' is six licences, not five.

Voicemail Drop is extra per drop and only available to those who qualify. At five licences billed monthly that is $1,195 a month on Starter against $1,495 on iQ — $3,600 a year for the difference; billed annually it is $995 against $1,245. For a genuine outbound floor that is the right side of the trade. For one or two reps, the honest answer is that $239 a seat is a lot of money for a dialler, and a lighter tool does the job.

Predictive dialling also carries compliance weight of its own: TCPA and its equivalents make the speed an asset only while your calling practices stay clean.

Questions we checked

How to actually use Readymode

Count your phone numbers, not just your seats, because that is where the two plans genuinely differ. Starter includes up to 30 DIDs per licence and iQ up to 75 — $7.97 against $3.99 per number — and for an outbound floor the numbers are the consumable rather than a nice-to-have. Then decide whether you need the tooling that keeps those numbers alive. Caller-ID reputation monitoring and assisted remediation are iQ-only, so on Starter you get fewer numbers and no way to notice when carriers start flagging them — which is the failure mode that quietly halves a dialler's connect rate.

Count licences correctly before you budget. The complimentary Admin licence that comes with every plan is explicitly not an agent licence — no floor plan, no web phone — so a five-agent floor with a supervisor who also dials is six licences. And implementation and training are included only from three licences, so a one- or two-seat deployment pays for them at a price the page does not publish. Get your compliance in order before you turn on the speed.

Predictive dialling carries TCPA responsibility and its equivalents, and the efficiency is only an asset while your calling practices stay clean. Write down your calling windows, your consent records and your do-not-call process before the first campaign, not after the first complaint.

The natural comparison is PhoneBurner or Five9 — other dialer/contact-center platforms — Readymode targets high-volume outbound; compare per-seat cost and compliance features at your team size.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add or remove licences mid-cycle, and what do I pay?

Yes to both, through Readymode's Billing team. Its Billing FAQ on help.readymode.com (read 15 October 2026) says licences are prepaid and totalled from the first day of the billing cycle; added licences are pro-rated and totalled on the last day of the cycle, while removing a licence is not pro-rated, so the full charge for that period still applies. Make seat cuts before your next billing date, not just after it. Cancelling the whole account needs 30 days' notice.

What do phone numbers cost beyond the ones included?

Not published. The pricing page (read 15 October 2026) includes up to 30 numbers (DIDs) per licence on Starter and up to 75 on iQ, and lists the DID activation fee as waived. The Billing FAQ gives the general rule: an activation fee when you order or replace a number, a monthly charge for each number until you release it, and no charge for releasing one. Neither page gives an amount for numbers above the included allowance; the FAQ refers to the pricing confirmation email from your Account Executive for the cost of each item.
