Which one is for you

Pick MightyCall if

  • Fits if you have a small team of 3 or more that wants a phone and texting in one place
  • Works for outbound teams that need dialers and a Do Not Call check

Look elsewhere if

  • Watch out: every plan has a 3-user minimum, and Enterprise has a 5-user minimum
  • 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

How we grade them

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.
Free plan and trial
DA trial limited to 7 days or 100 minutes, whichever comes first. No free plan, and the page doesn't say whether a card is needed.
CA 14-day free trial for new subscribers, with texting left out of it. No free plan, and the listing doesn't say whether the trial needs a card.
Features
BNumbers, routing, IVR, SMS, preview and progressive dialers, live call monitoring, an API and webhooks. The listing shows no gap in the core phone job.
BUnlimited US and Canada calls, phone menus, call queues, fax, 300-person video meetings, team chat and an AI assistant for call notes. That's the whole phone job, though Core's 25 texts a person a month is stingy.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. Numbers, routing, queues and texting registration need set-up.
A4.83 from about 78,000 App Store ratings, above the 4.7 from 1,000 ratings that an A needs.
Platforms and integrations

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.
