Features
Our Verdict
Nextiva's 30+ year enterprise experience shows in the product depth — every UCaaS feature you'd expect is present, plus a contact center product (Enterprise tiers) competitive with RingCentral Ultra. The counterintuitive pricing is real: Core at $15/user/month billed monthly is cheaper than $23 annual, Engage at $25 monthly is cheaper than $50 annual. This is NOT a typo — Nextiva's annual pricing includes additional features or services that justify the premium, but the 'save with annual' messaging is misleading. Calculate carefully. Core ($15 monthly, $23 annual) covers voice + SMS + video meetings + team chat + mobile + call routing — complete SMB phone system. Engage ($25 monthly, $50 annual) is 'Most Popular' with customer SMS (outbound marketing texts, not just internal), toll-free with minutes included, inbound call center, live chat + chatbot, advanced reporting. Scale at $75/user/month (NEW) adds AI transcription/summary, skills-based routing, journey orchestration — competitive with Nextiva's own Enterprise Essential tier at same $75/agent but with different feature emphasis. Enterprise tiers target 100-500+ agent contact centers: Essential at $75/agent with omnichannel, Professional (custom) adds PCI-DSS payments + predictive dialing, Premium (custom) adds workforce management. 24/7 support on all plans is unique in category. Where Nextiva wins: 30+ years UCaaS experience, 24/7 support on all plans including Core, most complete contact-center-to-UCaaS transition path, 14-day free trial is 2x Quo's 7-day. Where it loses: counterintuitive pricing (monthly cheaper than annual on some tiers) makes evaluation confusing, UI feels 2018-era vs Quo/Dialpad modern apps, SMS and toll-free gated to Engage tier ($25 monthly minimum).
Pros
- 24/7 support on all plans including Core — rare at $15/user/month tier
- 30+ years UCaaS experience shows in product depth — every feature present
- Complete contact center product at Enterprise tiers — one vendor for UCaaS + CCaaS
- 14-day free trial is 2x Quo's 7-day
- Video meetings + team chat included in Core tier vs Quo requiring separate Zoom
Cons
- Counterintuitive pricing — monthly is cheaper than annual on Core/Engage tiers
- UI feels 2018-era vs Quo's modern cloud-native design
- SMS gated to Engage ($25 monthly) — basic plans don't include business texting
- 'Save 50% annual' messaging is misleading — verify which actually costs less
