That\u2019s a lot of time spent honing our craft and technology, and creating solutions for small, medium, and enterprise businesses. We\u2019ve got something for literally every budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And though RingCentral is based in the United States, we offer phone support for a long list of countries including Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as pricing goes, packages for our RingEX unified communications solution range from $20 to $35 per user, per month on an annual plan. Plus, there\u2019s RingCX and RingCentral Contact Center as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/contact-center.html\">contact center<\/a> solutions at varied price points, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is RingCentral the cheapest provider on the market on paper? Well, technically no\u2026 And yes, there\u2019s a but.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But RingCentral\u2019s feature-rich platform is so versatile that if the up-front price is an issue, we humbly offer this: it can easily replace three or four (or more!) of your existing apps, and could end up being less expensive in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, as you\u2019ll see later on while looking through RingCentral\u2019s main competitors, this is one of our biggest differentiators: everything you need to communicate with other folks on\u2014and outside\u2014your team, in one handy app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That not only helps reduce the amount of monthly subscription fees you\u2019re paying every month, it also cuts the amount of time and resources that you\u2019d need to manage a huge stack of tech tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
