What a phone system costs a day spa in Washington

Other personal care services in Washington average 5.2 employees, so the comparison uses a 5-person team. On a per-user plan that headcount sets the bill: $124.75 a month on Ooma Office Pro or $150.00 on RingCentral RingEX Core at list price (checked September 28, 2026). Callata comes to $99.00 a month for 5 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $612 less than RingCentral for a day spa in Washington of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.
