Nextiva
Cloud business phone and call center system with public per-user prices from $15 a month.
In short
- Engage costs $25 per user a month billed yearly and lists call recording and auto-attendant call menus as included1.
- The cheaper Core plan at $15 lists call recording as an add-on1.
- The integrations page lists Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive and Zendesk3.
- The pricing page lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified security on every plan1.
- Progressive and predictive dialing are listed on the Professional and Premium contact center plans, which show Contact Sales and no price1.
Nextiva suits small teams that want recording, call menus, chat, text and messaging apps under one published per-user price1. Engage at $25 covers the basics, while queues with skills routing sit on Scale at $751,2. The catch: the pricing page prints no minimum team size, no uptime percentage in the terms, and dialer plans are quote-only1,6.
Best for: Small teams that want recording, call menus and chat on a published per-user price.
