Trellus alternative
Trellus is an affordable dialer that works as an overlay on tools like HubSpot, Salesloft, Outreach and Apollo. Dialer is a complete platform: parallel dialing plus GoHighLevel, inbound IVR, SMS, workflows and white-label.
Teams usually start searching for a Trellus alternative when they hit a ceiling: an overlay that depends on another sales tool; not built around GoHighLevel agencies; no inbound IVR, queues or shared SMS inbox. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Dialer is a browser-based parallel power dialer for GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Salesforce and ClickFunnels teams. Reps dial up to 5 lines at once, machines get your voicemail drop, phone trees and call screeners are handled automatically, and every conversation syncs back to your CRM. It runs on your own Twilio account, so you pay Twilio's rates with no per-minute markup.

Use cases
Agencies moving off Trellus usually want one dialer they can roll out across every client. Dialer installs as a GoHighLevel marketplace app, syncs contacts and tags in real time and can be resold under your own brand, with your domain and your Stripe billing.
CRM-first teams keep HubSpot or Salesforce as the source of truth. Dialer imports a list or list view in a click, dials it in parallel and logs every conversation back on the matching record, so reps never retype a call.
Volume teams care about live conversations per hour. Dialer rings up to 5 contacts per rep, drops voicemails automatically, gets through phone trees and call screeners, and protects your caller IDs from spam labels.
