#7 of 10 call center software products
Facts checked 9 Oct 2026

In short

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.
