Where do the competitor prices come from?

Each company's own public pricing page. Every row links to the page it came from and the date we checked it (most recently 2026-11-06). The calculator picks the cheapest published plan that covers your month.

Why does a row say "Not published"?

The maths needed a number the company does not list, such as the price of minutes past the included amount, or the plan does not allow that many people. We leave the row blank rather than guess.

What does KaiCalls cost for my month?

The cheapest KaiCalls plan whose answered-call allowance covers your calls. Teammates' cells ring at no extra cost and there is no per-user fee. There are no per-minute overage charges. Your plan includes an expected monthly call allowance. If your call volume stays higher, we recommend the next plan and notify you before anything changes. You can choose to keep your current plan, and we move you back down if volume drops.

Taxes, carrier and regulatory fees, and add-ons. Where a company bills a feature separately, the row says what it leaves out.

What will your business phone actually cost?

Set your team size, calls and call length. Every option below is priced from that company's own pricing page, with the source and the date we checked it. Per-user apps grow with your team, per-minute tools grow with your calls, and KaiCalls stays one flat monthly price.

How the maths works

Where do the competitor prices come from?: Each company's own public pricing page. Every row links to the page it came from and the date we checked it (most recently 2026-11-06). The calculator picks the cheapest published plan that covers your month.
Why does a row say "Not published"?: The maths needed a number the company does not list, such as the price of minutes past the included amount, or the plan does not allow that many people. We leave the row blank rather than guess.
What does KaiCalls cost for my month?: The cheapest KaiCalls plan whose answered-call allowance covers your calls. Teammates' cells ring at no extra cost and there is no per-user fee. There are no per-minute overage charges. Your plan includes an expected monthly call allowance. If your call volume stays higher, we recommend the next plan and notify you before anything changes. You can choose to keep your current plan, and we move you back down if volume drops.
