Ringba is a dedicated pay-per-call platform built for performance marketers. Dial800 runs a pay-per-call marketplace too — with second-price auctions and explainable routing — inside a full platform with tracking, AI voice agents, contact center, and business phone.
Ringba earns its place with performance marketers: deep pay-per-call tooling and the Ring Tree real-time bidding marketplace, from $147/month plus usage as of August 2026. Dial800's angle is breadth without giving up the marketplace — first- and second-price auctions, explainable Test Route decision traces on every routing decision, and AI analysis on every marketplace call, inside the same platform that handles call tracking from $149/month, AI voice agents, full CCaaS, and UCaaS business phone at $29/seat.

For call buyers and sellers, the marketplace is only half the job. What happens on the call — and what you can prove about it — is the other half.
Dial800's marketplace runs first- and second-price auctions. In second-price mode, winners pay the runner-up's bid — so buyers can bid their true value without overpay anxiety, and sellers get competitive, sustainable demand instead of bid-shading games.
Every routing decision produces a decision trace: which targets were considered, which filters and caps applied, who won and why. When a buyer disputes a call or a publisher asks why volume shifted, you show the trace instead of guessing. See AccuRoute routing →
VoiceInsights AI transcribes, tags, and scores marketplace calls just like your own — payable-call disputes get evidence, buyers get quality data, and AI Voice Agents can qualify callers before a target ever pays for the connection. Plus call tracking, CCaaS, and UCaaS in the same account.
Ringba is very good at what it set out to do. As of August 2026, its pay-per-call tooling is deep, its Ring Tree real-time bidding marketplace is well established, and its whole product is shaped around the performance-marketer workflow. If you are a pure pay-per-call operation — buying and selling calls is your entire business, and you have no need for a phone system, a contact center, or AI answering — Ringba's specialist focus may be exactly what you want, at a comparable entry price ($147/month plus usage).
Dial800 is the better fit when the marketplace is one part of a bigger call operation: when you also answer calls, staff agents, run tracking for your own campaigns, or want AI on every call — or when second-price auctions and explainable routing traces matter to how you settle disputes and price inventory.
