The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GetResponse starter, Marketer and Creator plans are all capped at 1,000 contacts regardless of the $19, $59 or $69 monthly price; RingCentral the pricing page shows no per user rate until you enter a user count, so the headline plan cost is not published outright
