  • Each has a real cost: Chanty free plan caps at 5 team members; RingCentral the pricing page shows no per user rate until you enter a user count, so the headline plan cost is not published outright

Chanty

  • Free plan caps at 5 team members

  • AI Receptionist starts at $39 a month, Conversational Intelligence at $60 a month, the Call Queues Booster is $35 a month and the Business SMS Booster is $25 a month, all charged on top of the plan
