The short version

  • Only Aligned has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aligned bidirectional CRM sync is restricted to the unpublished Enterprise tier, so the single capability that makes room engagement useful to forecasting cannot be bought at a published price and requires a sales negotiation.; Orum orum removed public pricing, so the only figures available are independent estimates around 250 US dollars per user per month at entry and several hundred above that for Ascend, and you cannot verify either without a sales call.
  • They diverge on capability: Aligned covers Digital sales rooms, Orum covers Parallel dialling.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Aligned

  • Bidirectional CRM sync is restricted to the unpublished Enterprise tier, so the single capability that makes room engagement useful to forecasting cannot be bought at a published price and requires a sales negotiation.
  • Digital sales rooms only work if buyers use them, and in conservative industries where procurement insists on email and attachments the room becomes an extra place the seller has to maintain rather than a replacement for anything.
  • The free Starter tier is capped at four rooms per seat, which a working account executive exhausts within a month, so it functions as an evaluation mechanism rather than a usable free plan.
  • SSO, multiple team workspaces and custom domain all sit on Enterprise, meaning any organisation with a standard security review will be pushed off the published pricing regardless of team size.
  • The category is crowded and partly being absorbed into adjacent products, with proposal tools, CRMs and content platforms all adding room-style buyer portals, so a standalone tool carries real risk of becoming a feature you already pay for elsewhere.

Orum

  • Orum removed public pricing, so the only figures available are independent estimates around 250 US dollars per user per month at entry and several hundred above that for Ascend, and you cannot verify either without a sales call.
  • Standard packaging carries a nine-seat minimum and every plan is annual, so a team of four cannot buy the main product and a team that shrinks mid-year keeps paying for empty seats.
  • Parallel dialling burns through phone numbers and carrier reputation quickly, and once numbers get flagged as spam by carriers the connect rate advantage that justified the cost erodes.
  • Consent and call recording rules differ by jurisdiction and several use cases that are routine in the United States are restricted in parts of Europe, so multinational teams cannot deploy it uniformly.
  • The tool multiplies conversations but does nothing about list quality; pointed at bad data it simply reaches more wrong people faster, and teams without a working data source see no return on a five-figure annual commitment.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Aligned: Is there really a free plan?

Yes, Starter is free with four rooms per seat and room analytics, though the room cap makes it an evaluation tier rather than a long-term option for a working seller.

Orum: Does Orum publish pricing?

No longer. Independent estimates put entry near 250 US dollars per user per month billed annually, but treat that as an estimate.

Aligned: What does the paid version cost?

Basic is 29 USD per seat per month billed annually or 35 monthly; Pro is 49 annually or 60 monthly. Enterprise is quoted.

Orum: What is the minimum team size?

Orum own pricing page cites a nine-seat minimum for standard packaging, with reported three-seat availability on the entry Launch package.

Aligned: Can I sync room activity into Salesforce?

Bidirectional CRM sync is an Enterprise-only feature, so it is not available on any published tier.

Orum: Can I pay monthly?

No. All plans require an annual commitment.

Aligned: Is there a discount for small companies?

Aligned lists a startup plan for companies with fewer than thirty employees, though the price for it is not published.

Orum: Does it replace Outreach or Salesloft?

No. It handles the dialling and connects into your sequence platform, which still owns cadence and email.
