Trellus is an AI-powered sales assistant designed to support sales development representatives (SDRs) and account executives during live cold calls. It integrates as a browser extension into popular sales dialers, providing real-time coaching prompts, objection handling suggestions, and automatic prospect research surfaced at the moment of a call. The platform also offers post-call analytics, transcription, and performance tracking to help sales managers identify coaching opportunities and monitor rep activity. Trellus aims to reduce ramp time for new reps and improve connect-to-meeting conversion rates by delivering contextual guidance without requiring reps to switch between tools. It supports individual contributors as well as sales teams looking for manager-level visibility into call quality and outcomes.

AI Overview
Performance snapshot
Trellus earns a strongly positive overall profile, with Usability, Functionality, and Support rated Strong across a predominantly recent review base. Cost-effectiveness is a recurring highlight, with multiple reviewers explicitly comparing it favorably to pricier alternatives.

- Seamless integrations with major CRMs and dialers (Salesforce, HubSpot, Apollo, Salesloft) cited across multiple reviews.

- Priced significantly below comparable tools; one reviewer describes it as 'like Nooks for 1/3 the cost.'
- Support team widely praised as responsive, collaborative, and customer-centric by the majority of reviewers.
Cons
- Integration support appears narrowly focused on enterprise platforms; non-enterprise or mid-market users report being deprioritized or ignored by the support team.

- Platform coverage for browser-based outreach tools outside a small set of supported dialers appears limited, reducing utility for teams using less common tooling.
