Monthly list prices in US dollars as of October 2026, before taxes and fees. Per-user totals are the per-user list price times the number of users. Some figures come from 2026 third-party reviews rather than the vendor's own page; each comparison page says which. Prices change, so check the vendor's page before you decide, and tell us if something here is out of date.
what we are
Starter is $9 for a number, an extension and 300 minutes in and out. Each extra extension is $4 and rings the app, a desk phone and a cell, so 5 people pay $25 a month. Extra numbers are $5. See pricing.
