Ooma Office suits small offices that want a dependable phone line and a virtual receptionist more than a large collaboration suite. Essentials costs $19.95 per user per month with no contract and includes unlimited calling across the US, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, a virtual receptionist, the mobile app, digital fax and one free toll-free number with 500 inbound minutes a month. It does not include text messaging, which arrives on Pro at $24.95 along with the desktop app, call recording, enhanced call blocking and video meetings for 25 people, but only up to 250 texts a month. Pro Plus at $29.95 adds AI transcriptions, CRM integration, team chat, hot desking, call queuing and up to 1,000 texts. AI Receptionist and AI Answering Service are sold as add-ons on every plan. Pricing is per user and the plans are easy to compare, which makes Ooma simple to budget for. Teams that text customers heavily will outgrow the caps.
