What Trellus says it is
Start with the sentence Trellus wrote about itself for the store, because a store listing is where a company stops marketing and states the category.
"Trellus is an embedded AI power and parallel dialer that works inside your SEP or CRM."
Trellus's Chrome Web Store listing, read on the Chrome Web Store, 27 September 2026. Average rating shown that day: 4.8 out of 5.The home page agrees. Its title tag is "AI Dialer for Salesloft, Outreach & HubSpot" and the first thing it sells is "Power & Parallel," with the promise to "4x your conversations." The navigation lists five products: Parallel dialer, AI Bots, Call Analytics, Superhuman for LinkedIn, and Real-time call coaching, described as "Make the most of every opportunity with AI coaching live on every call."
So live coaching is one of five. That is not a knock. It is the whole shape of the comparison. Trellus is a calling workflow with coaching attached. Objeq is the coaching, with no workflow attached. If you want the wider map of who does what in this category, we keep one at sales coaching Chrome extensions, where we opened twenty store listings one by one.
The live coaching is real, and Trellus draws a fence around it in its own words
Here is the sentence that decides whether Trellus coaches your calls, quoted whole.
"On supported web calls, Trellus can surface live coaching, transcribe the conversation, and turn the call into useful follow-up."
Step 2 of "How Trellus works," trellus.ai/integrations, fetched 27 September 2026. The same page opens with "Start in the platform you already use."Three things in that quote are worth slowing down for, and all three are Trellus's own wording.
- "Supported web calls." Not every call. The integrations page says "28 platforms shown" and tags each one by capability, and the tags include Power & parallel dialing and AI coaching as separate labels. Coaching is a per-platform capability, so the question is not whether Trellus coaches, it is whether the platform your rep is calling from is one that gets it.
- "Can." A conditional, in a product description, on the company's own site. We are quoting it rather than upgrading it to "does."
- "Start in the platform you already use." That is Trellus's strength and its constraint in one line. Its demo form asks "What platform do you want to embed Trellus within?" and offers sixteen: Salesloft, Outreach, Apollo, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, GoHighLevel, Amplemarket, Zoho, Gong Engage, OpenPhone, Clay, Unify, Close, Lemlist, Attio.
Objeq has no equivalent list, because it embeds in nothing. It hears the browser tab. If the call audio is in a Chrome tab, Objeq is on that call, and it does not care which CRM the rep opened it from or whether any CRM is open at all. That cuts both ways, and the cost of it is in the "wrong answer" section below.
Price: almost identical numbers, and one line on the pricing page that is worth reading twice
Trellus publishes its self-serve prices, which most of this category does not, and it deserves credit for that. Power is $99.99 a month, Power + Parallel is $149.99 a month, both labelled "For individuals," both visible on the page on 27 September 2026.
What those two plans list is a dialing product: power dialing on supported platforms, voicemail drop, five or eight extra phone numbers with spam remediation, Superhuman for LinkedIn, multi-line dialing, unlimited AI practice calls. The third plan is where the coaching words appear.
"Business · For teams · Custom Pricing · Includes everything in parallel, plus: Customizable AI research and realtime coaching · Team based analytics and conversational intelligence · Custom reporting and AI modeling"
Trellus pricing page, trellus.ai/pricing, fetched 27 September 2026.Read what we are and are not saying. We are not claiming the $99.99 plan has no live coaching. The page does not say that either way, and the home page does market coaching without a tier next to it. What we are saying is narrow and checkable: on the pricing page, the only plan whose feature list contains the words "realtime coaching" is the one with no published number. If live coaching is why you are buying, that is a question to ask on the call, not a thing to assume from the $99.99 button.
One more thing we noticed and will state without making a meal of it: the cheapest listed plan is defined as "Includes everything in BYOD, plus…", and no BYOD plan appears anywhere on that pricing page. So the baseline of the cheapest tier is a tier you cannot read.
Our side is on our pricing page with no form in front of it: $99 a seat a month for Starter, $149 for Pro, three-day trial, card up front, cancel in one click. The live whisper is not a tier. It is the product; there is nothing else to buy.
Volume or the twenty seconds: these two tools answer different questions
This is the actual decision, and it has nothing to do with feature checklists.
| Your bottleneck | What fixes it | Which tool |
|---|---|---|
| Reps do not speak to enough humans per day | More dials per hour, fewer dial tones, voicemail drops | Trellus. Five parallel lines is a real answer and we do not have one |
| Reps get conversations and lose them at the objection | A better line, in the rep's ear, before the moment passes | Objeq. One line on the screen, mid-sentence |
| Nobody knows what happened on last month's calls | Recording, scoring, scorecards, a review queue | Neither. That is Gong and the recording vendors |
| New reps need practice before they touch a real buyer | Roleplay against a bot | Trellus has AI practice calls; see also roleplay platforms |
If your reps have three conversations a week, a better answer to "it's too expensive" will not save you, and Objeq is the wrong purchase. If your reps have forty conversations a week and close two, another 160 dials will not save you either. Buy for the bottleneck you have, not for the tool that demos well.
Side by side, on the things that actually differ
| Trellus | Objeq | |
|---|---|---|
| Category, in its own words | "Embedded AI power and parallel dialer" | Live whisper for the rep on the call |
| Places the call | Yes, power and parallel, up to five lines | No. It never dials anything |
| Needs a supported platform | Yes, "on supported web calls," 28 platforms listed | No. It hears the browser tab |
| Live in-call help | Yes, on supported calls; "realtime coaching" named on the Business tier | Yes, it is the whole product, on every plan |
| Roleplay / practice bots | Yes, unlimited AI practice calls on the $149.99 plan | No. We do not sell practice |
| Call analytics and team reporting | Yes, and it is a named product | No. Objeq is help during, not a report after |
| Published price | $99.99 and $149.99 self-serve; Business is Custom | $99 and $149, everything included |
| Install | Chrome extension, embedded inside your SEP or CRM | Chrome extension, running inside 5 minutes |
| Hebrew | Not claimed on the pages we fetched | Native, not translated |
Empty answers are not scores. "Not claimed on the pages we fetched" means exactly that: we read Trellus's home page, its pricing page, its integrations page and its Chrome Web Store listing on 27 September 2026. Anything behind a demo call or in a release we did not see will not appear here until we recheck.
Four cases where Objeq is the wrong answer to this search
This is a comparison page on our own site, so read this section twice and the one above it once.
- Your problem is dial volume. Then buy the dialer. Parallel dialing on five lines is a mechanical answer to a mechanical problem, and Objeq has nothing to offer it. We do not dial, sequence or drop voicemails, and it is not on a roadmap.
- Your reps live inside Salesloft or Outreach task queues all day. Trellus's whole thesis is "start in the platform you already use," and that embedded workflow is genuine value we do not replicate. Objeq sits on the call and knows nothing about your task queue.
- Your reps call from a desk phone or a native softphone app. Objeq is a Chrome extension and hears the browser tab. No tab, no audio, no whisper. That is a hard limit, not a feature gap.
- You want team analytics and manager reporting. Trellus sells call analytics as a named product. We sell one line during twenty seconds, and we say the same thing on the Gong page for the same reason.
Can you run both?
The idea is coherent. Trellus places the calls, Objeq handles the sentence the buyer just said, and Objeq writes to no CRM and joins no meeting as a participant, so there is little for it to collide with.
We have not tested it, so we are not going to claim it works. Both ship as Chrome extensions, and two extensions reading audio from the same tab is precisely the arrangement that needs a real test rather than a confident paragraph. If you want both, run them on one rep for a week before anybody else touches them.
Questions people actually ask
Is Trellus a coaching tool or a dialer?
A dialer that coaches. Its store listing says "embedded AI power and parallel dialer," its home page title says "AI Dialer for Salesloft, Outreach & HubSpot," and real-time call coaching is one of five products in its navigation. Checked 27 September 2026.
Does Trellus coach on every call?
Its own words are "on supported web calls, Trellus can surface live coaching." The integrations page lists 28 platforms and tags AI coaching as a per-platform capability. Objeq has no platform list; it listens to the browser tab.
What does Trellus cost?
$99.99 a month for Power and $149.99 for Power + Parallel, both visible on its pricing page on 27 September 2026, plus a Business plan at Custom Pricing. The only plan whose feature list names "realtime coaching" is that Business plan.
Is Objeq cheaper?
By a cent, which is not a reason to choose either one. $99 and $149 against $99.99 and $149.99. Decide on the bottleneck: dial volume or the objection.
Does Objeq replace a dialer?
No. Objeq places no calls at all. If nobody is dialing, there is nothing for Objeq to listen to.
Does Trellus support Hebrew?
Not claimed on any page we fetched on 27 September 2026. That is an absence of a claim, not a claim of absence. Objeq's whisper is native sales-floor Hebrew, and roughly 99 percent of Objeq usage is Hebrew.
Sources, all fetched on 27 September 2026: Trellus's home page, its pricing page, its integrations page, and its Chrome Web Store listing. Quoted sentences are Trellus's own words. One honesty note on the price: the HTML of Trellus's pricing page also contains a "34.99" figure next to each self-serve plan that is not part of the visible price the page renders. We used the visible $99.99 and $149.99 and ignored the hidden number, because a promo element a buyer cannot see is not a published price. Objeq's prices come from our own pricing page. Nothing on this page is estimated, and any "not claimed" means not found on those four sources on that date.
