Frequently asked questions

When it comes to CCaaS, customers choose RingCentral because they want an AI-powered contact center solution that delivers effortless experiences for customers, agents, and the business as a whole. RingCX provides a wider breadth of capabilities for inbound/outbound voice and enables unified customer journeys across 20+ available digital channels, all with predictable monthly pricing that includes unlimited domestic inbound and manual outbound minutes. It also provides omnichannel integration with popular CRMs for immersive agent experiences. RingCX is purpose-built from the ground up to deploy quickly and with minimal effort, removing barriers to entry for customers of all sizes. AI provides the next level customer experience by offering quality management and assistance across every interaction — allowing agents and supervisors to fine tune the customer experience in real-time.
RingCX takes a simple approach to pricing and packaging, starting at $65 per agent per month. That includes RingCX voice and 20+ digital channels, IVR with skills-based routing, outbound dialers, call recording, analytics, CRM integrations, and native integration with RingEX. RingCX also includes unlimited domestic inbound and manual outbound minutes to keep your monthly costs predictable with no surprises.
Five9 provides multiple package options starting at $175 per concurrent user. However, other than the Digital only package, none of Five9’s other packages offer a complete omnichannel solution. SMS/MMS and Social Messaging require separate add-on packages. Without paying for extra digital capabilities, even if you have Five9’s Ultimate package you are limited to Chat and Email.
Not only do you have to pay extra for digital engagement, additional usage-based pricing may apply with Five9. That means you more calls you handle, the more Five9 will cost you.
