Trusted by 3,000+ progressive campaigns. The best political campaign software for voter contact.
TargetSmart Tells You Who to Call. CallHub’s Political Dialer Software Makes the Call.
You have the best voter data platform in progressive politics. But TargetSmart does not include a political dialer, a political texting platform, or phone banking software. That means every voter call and every advocacy text requires a separate vendor. CallHub eliminates that gap with a predictive dialer software, peer to peer texting, voice broadcast, and patch-through calling, the voter contact software your TargetSmart alternative stack needs for the 2026 mid-terms.

Three Things TargetSmart Cannot Do for You
Your Data Is World-Class. Your Campaign Dialer Is Missing. Here Is How to Fix That.
TargetSmart is built for political data tools and digital ad targeting. But when it is time to pick up the phone using virtual phone banking or send a text via p2p texting, you are on your own. These are the three operational gaps and how CallHub fills each one.
You Cannot Call Voters from TargetSmart
Your Problem
Their VoterBase has 208M+ voter records, and CellBase has 171M+ cell numbers. But there is no auto dialer for political campaigns built into the platform. To make a single voter call, you export a list, import it into a third-party political campaign calling software tool, configure the campaign, and hope the data formats match.
The Fix
CallHub’s Predictive Dialer Software + Power Dialer. Import your voter lists and start dialing immediately. The predictive dialer political campaigns toolkit auto-dials multiple numbers simultaneously and connects agents to live answers only. Answering machine detection filters out voicemail. Your phone banking software is ready in minutes.
What You Get
3X More Live Voter Conversations Per Hour. Campaigns using CallHub’s campaign dialer report 3X more live connections per hour compared to manual dialing. A 20-volunteer phone bank running 4-hour shifts reaches 2,400+ voters in a single evening.
✓ Tested with democratic campaign software users of all sizes.
You Cannot Text Voters from TargetSmart
Your Problem
Their MBP runs your digital ads. But when a voter needs a personal text, a fundraising follow-up, or a GOTV texting reminder, you need a separate political texting platform. That means another vendor, another contract, and another data silo.
The Fix
CallHub’s Peer to Peer Texting + SMS Broadcast. P2P texting for personal voter conversations at scale. Campaign SMS software for mass notifications and reminders. MMS for rich media messages. All with 10DLC registration, opt-in compliance, and delivery tracking. The best SMS campaign software for political SMS marketing.
What You Get
Personal Voter Conversations at Scale. Political campaign texting via P2P delivers 3-5X higher response rates than mass SMS. Voter outreach texting from the same platform as your phone banking. Advocacy texting for issue campaigns and grassroots organizing.
✓ 10DLC registered for carrier-approved delivery
Your Outreach Data Lives in Silos
Your Problem
TargetSmart data goes into a dialer. Dialer results stay in the dialer. Political campaign software for texting lives separately. Canvassing data lives in yet another app. Nobody has the full picture of your grassroots voter outreach operation.
The Fix
CallHub’s Unified Voter Outreach Software Platform + CRM Integrations. Calling, texting, voice broadcast, and patch-through calling in one political campaign software dashboard. CallHub integrates with NGP VAN, Action Network, Salesforce, and PDI so your data flows back to your CRM automatically.
What You Get
One Dashboard. Every Channel. Complete Picture. All voter contact software results across calls, texts, and voice broadcasts in one report. Your data director gets real-time reporting instead of post-campaign spreadsheet assembly.
✓ The political campaign software that unifies your ground game

Winning Stories from Real Campaigns
We couldn’t have hit our goals without CallHub. When other platforms were struggling, CallHub was a trusted partner who could easily scale up quickly when needed. Even more, CallHub could handle our small program needs across all channels; from texting 5 people to calling 5 million, we could trust CallHub.
Cost is one. We also really liked the user friendliness of CallHub on the agent side. We had consistent feedback from all kinds of volunteers of all ages and all abilities across the country that it was just really easy to use.
CallHub has become my go-to platform for affordable phone canvassing campaigns, voice broadcasts and text message blasts. In particular, text message blasts are the single most useful tool for volunteer mobilization that I have used in recent years.
The Questions You Are Asking Before You Click That CTA
1. How is CallHub different from TargetSmart?
TargetSmart is a voter data platform and media buying company. CallHub is voter contact software. TargetSmart tells you who to reach. CallHub gives you the political dialer, peer to peer texting, voice broadcast, and patch-through calling to reach them. They are complementary, not competing. Look at TargetSmart reviews; users consistently praise the data, but note the lack of built-in outreach tools.
2. Can I use my TargetSmart voter lists in CallHub?
Yes. Export your voter lists from TargetSmart as CSV and import directly into CallHub. If you also use NGP VAN, Action Network, PDI, or Salesforce, CallHub integrates directly for seamless data sync. Many TargetSmart alternatives require complex API work. CallHub makes it simple.
3. Is CallHub a TCPA compliant dialer?
Yes. CallHub is a fully TCPA compliant dialer with answering machine detection, DNC scrubbing, calling hour restrictions, and STIR/SHAKEN authentication. It is a TCPA compliant predictive dialer built specifically for auto dialer for political campaigns use cases. Your TargetSmart CellBase numbers are safe to dial.
4. Is CallHub cheaper than building a custom outreach stack?
Yes. A separate political dialer software plus a separate texting tool typically costs 2-3X more. CallHub replaces multiple vendors with one political campaign software platform. No per-seat licenses. Compare TargetSmart pricing for media with CallHub’s per-use outreach pricing, with completely separate budget lines.
5. Does CallHub work for GOTV and advocacy campaigns?
Yes. CallHub’s GOTV phone banking software and GOTV calling software mobilize voters with predictive dialing and automated reminders. GOTV texting via peer to peer texting reaches voters where they are. For advocacy, patch-through calling connects constituents directly to legislators. Grassroots voter outreach at scale.
6. We are mid-campaign using TargetSmart. Can we add CallHub now?
Yes. CallHub onboarding takes 1-2 days. Import your lists from TargetSmart, configure scripts, and launch. No migration period. You can run your first virtual phone banking or campaign SMS software campaign this week.

The 2026 mid-terms will not wait. Your voter data platform is ready. Your voter outreach software should be, too. CallHub gives you the predictive dialer software, peer to peer texting, GOTV calling software, and patch-through calling your political campaign software stack needs.
