Callata vs. per-seat pricing for breweries in Oregon

Breweries in Oregon average 16.6 employees, so the comparison uses a 17-person team. Per-seat business phone plans bill every one of those people. At month-to-month list prices checked September 28, 2026, 17 users on RingCentral RingEX Core cost $510.00 a month and 17 on Ooma Office Pro cost $424.15. Callata comes to $339.00 a month for 17 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $2,052 less than RingCentral for a brewery in Oregon of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.
