Microsoft Teams vs Aircall FAQ
- Which one is cheaper?
- Microsoft Teams starts lower at $4/mo, compared to $30/mo for Aircall.
- Can I use either one for free?
- Neither has a free plan. But Microsoft Teams offers a free trial.
- How do they charge?
- Both use a per-seat model, so the comparison is straightforward — it comes down to features and limits at each price point.
- Which one is a better deal?
- Depends on what you need. Microsoft Teams: At $4–$7 for the entry tiers, they're undercutting Slack's paid plans and going toe-to-toe with Google Workspace — this is a volume play to win SMBs already in the Microsoft ecosystem. The $23.50 Copilot tier is a deliberate premium move, betting that AI features justify nearly 3x the cost of Basic. Aircall: At $30-$50/seat annually, Aircall sits in the mid-market range — more expensive than scrappy alternatives like OpenPhone or Grasshopper, but cheaper than enterprise CCaaS players like Genesys or NICE. They're clearly targeting SMB and mid-market sales and support teams who want a polished product without an enterprise procurement process.
