Which one is for you
Pick MightyCall if

- Works for outbound teams that need dialers and a Do Not Call check
Look elsewhere if

- Pricey if you want dialers: preview and progressive start on Power at $54 a user, billed yearly
- Watch out: unlimited calling and messages are subject to a fair use policy, and texting needs brand and campaign registration
- Watch out: extra phone numbers cost a $15 one-time activation fee, and an international number is $15 a month plus per-check fees
- Tight if you want a proper trial, as it ends at 7 days or 100 minutes
Pick RingCentral if
- Fits if you want calls, fax, meetings and chat from one company on one bill
- Works for Microsoft Teams shops that want RingCentral calling inside Teams
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you text customers a lot, with 25 texts a person a month on Core
- Pricey if you add the extras: AI Receptionist from $39, SMS Booster $25, Call Queues Booster $35
- Not for you if you want to try texting first, since it isn't in the free trial
- Tight if you want calls recorded automatically or logged in a CRM, as both need Advanced at $25
- Watch out: listed prices are for 1-5 users, they change for 6-100, and texting needs TCR registration that may carry fees

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CCore is $20 a user a month billed yearly ($25 monthly), in the middle of this category's range. With a 3-user minimum the floor is $60 a month, and the useful dialers start on Power at $54. | C$20 a head for a team of five on Core, billed yearly ($30 monthly), which is the price for 1-5 users. That's just past this category's dearer quarter ($19.99), so middle of the road. Automatic recording and CRM links need Advanced at $25. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
