Who wins where
Honest cases for each.
NuvenarHub wins for
- Teams using Aircall alongside a CRM and a WhatsApp tool, who want one bill instead of three.
- UK sales teams where calling, WhatsApp, and CRM are all daily-use channels, not one being primary.
- Founders who want AI transcripts on every call without an upgrade tier.
- Operators who would rather hold one vendor relationship for the customer-comms stack.
Aircall wins for
- Large sales orgs running 50+ seats where calling is the dominant workflow and CRM is already entrenched (Salesforce, HubSpot Enterprise).
- Teams that need Aircall's mature IVR builder for complex inbound routing across multiple lines.
- Operations that have a dedicated voice-platform admin and want a specialised tool.
Migration
Switching from Aircall.
Number porting is the main migration step: NuvenarHub handles UK number ports, typically 5 to 10 working days. Call history exports to CSV per user. Workflows triggered by call outcomes rebuild in the NuvenarHub visual workflow builder. If you currently sync Aircall to a separate CRM, that integration goes away on NuvenarHub because the CRM is native. Free 30-minute migration call available, email support@nuvenar.com.

- For sales teams under 25 seats where calling is one of several channels, yes. NuvenarHub provides built-in calling with AI transcripts and summaries on every call, included on Pro. Where Aircall stays stronger: mature multi-line IVR builder, advanced call-centre dashboards, and the integrations marketplace for niche call-platform add-ons.
- A 5-seat team running Aircall Professional (£250 / month) plus HubSpot Sales Hub Starter (£75 / month) plus a WhatsApp tool like Trengo (£100 / month) plus AI transcript add-on (£50 / month) lands around £475 / month against £749 / month for NuvenarHub Pro. You pay more for the same surface area and get it as one vendor, one invoice, and one record where the call recording, the transcript and the WhatsApp thread already sit on the deal.
- Same underlying carrier tier in most cases. Audio quality is identical. The differences are at the product layer: Aircall has a more mature dialer UI for high-volume outbound, NuvenarHub has the CRM context on the call screen and the AI transcript happens automatically.
- Yes. UK landline and mobile numbers port via the standard UK porting process, typically 5 to 10 working days. We handle the paperwork; you provide a recent Aircall bill and a Letter of Authorisation.
- Two places. Mature multi-line IVR with complex routing trees, which call centres need. Specialist call-platform analytics for teams doing 1,000+ outbound calls a day per seat. For most SMB sales teams under 25 seats, NuvenarHub's calling is sufficient.
- About two weeks end to end. Week one: NuvenarHub setup, team trained, internal numbers live. Week two: customer numbers ported across, Aircall cancelled. The number-porting wait is the bottleneck; everything else takes a day.
