The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Loops pricing is metered at $0.10 per 1,000 emails on top of the contact-based plan tier, adding a variable cost beyond the base subscription; RingCentral the pricing page shows no per user rate until you enter a user count, so the headline plan cost is not published outright
