The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Flodesk flat monthly pricing starting near $19 to $25 per month on annual billing does not scale down for very small lists the way per-subscriber pricing from competitors can; RingCentral the pricing page shows no per user rate until you enter a user count, so the headline plan cost is not published outright
