Grasshopper pricing by team size with monthly cost, plans and add-ons

The prices below are the list prices reported by several independent 2026 pricing reviews, including Quo and KrispCall. Grasshopper shows its own pricing page only to visitors in the US and Canada, so check grasshopper.com before you buy, because plan names and prices change.

One September 2026 review (Ringly) lists Small Business in a range of $55 to $80 yearly and $70 to $92 monthly, which suggests the top plan may be repriced for some accounts, so ask for a written quote if you need four or more numbers.

Every plan includes unlimited calling and texting in the US and Canada, the mobile and desktop apps, call forwarding, custom greetings, voicemail with transcription and virtual fax. Call recording and the auto attendant (IVR) start on Solo Plus. There is no contract.

The plan price is rarely the whole bill. Four add-ons show up most often on real Grasshopper invoices.

• Extra phone numbers: $9 per number per month, which matters when every salesperson or location wants its own number.
• Extra extensions: $3 per extension per month on plans with an extension cap.
• Business texting registration: a one-time carrier (10DLC) registration fee of about $19.50, plus a monthly campaign fee reported at $1.50 to $10. US carriers require this for business texting from any provider, not only Grasshopper.
• International calls: billed per minute at international rates.

Taxes and regulatory fees are added on top, as with every US phone provider, and they vary by state. When you compare quotes, add them to every option so the comparison stays fair.

Because Grasshopper charges per account, it gets cheaper per person as a team grows, as long as people can share numbers. Here is what a US team would pay per month on yearly billing, before taxes and fees, compared with Youvoip, which charges per user.

The honest reading: on the list price, Grasshopper is cheaper at every team size in this table. If a business number that forwards to your team's phones is all you need, that is the product to buy. The table stops being apples to apples once you need things Grasshopper is not built for, which is where the next section comes in.

Grasshopper is a virtual phone system. It gives you the business number, a greeting, extensions and voicemail, and it sends calls to the Grasshopper app or forwards them to phones that already have their own number. That design keeps it cheap, and it also sets its ceiling.

• Desk phones: a handset works only if it has its own phone number to forward to. There is no SIP desk phone on the business line.
• Call queues: not listed on any plan, so callers on a busy line cannot wait in line with a position announcement.
• Analytics: a call log and basic reports, not answer rates and missed calls per person.
• Integrations: very few, so calls and recordings do not flow into a CRM.
• Video meetings and team chat: not included.

None of this matters for a solo consultant. All of it matters for a dispatch desk, a front office or a sales team, and that is the point where businesses start comparing per-user cloud phone systems.

Grasshopper is worth it for solo owners and teams of up to about four people who want one professional number on their existing phones and do not need desk phones, queues or CRM logging. It is simple to set up and cheaper than most per-user systems. It is poor value once the phone line drives revenue and you need to manage it, because the missing features cost more in missed calls than the price difference saves.

A useful test is to count what one missed call costs. A plumbing company that books a $400 job from one call in ten does not need many missed calls a month to justify a queue, an overflow rule and a report that shows who let the phone ring out.

A per-user plan looks more expensive on paper, but each seat is a full phone line. On Youvoip Essentials, $12.50 per user per month billed yearly, every user gets a number of their own, the multi-level auto attendant, ring groups with simultaneous and sequential ringing, voicemail to email with transcription, call recording kept for 90 days, and call analytics with missed calls and answer rate per person. Business, at $19.50, adds business texting, call queues, a year of searchable recordings, HubSpot, Salesforce and Zoho integrations, whisper and barge for team leads, and video meetings. Both work with compatible SIP desk phones. You can model your own team on our VoIP pricing page, and our breakdown of the real cost per user of low cost VoIP service has a worksheet for comparing quotes line by line.

If you are already weighing a move, the Grasshopper alternative page puts both products side by side, including the cases where Grasshopper is still the better choice.

How much does Grasshopper cost per month?

Grasshopper costs $14 to $55 per month on yearly billing, or $18 to $70 billed monthly, depending on the plan. True Solo is the entry plan for one user, Solo Plus adds call recording and an auto attendant, and Small Business includes four numbers and unlimited extensions. Extra numbers and extensions, texting registration and taxes are added on top.

Does Grasshopper charge per user?

No. Grasshopper prices each plan per account, and Solo Plus and Small Business allow unlimited users. What it limits is numbers and extensions, so a team that wants a number or extension per person pays through add-ons ($9 per number, $3 per extension each month) or by moving to Small Business.

Is Grasshopper cheaper than a cloud phone system?

On list price, usually yes, because a per-user cloud phone system charges for each seat. The gap closes once you price what each includes: desk phones, call queues, per-user analytics and CRM integrations are standard on per-user systems like Youvoip and are not part of Grasshopper's plans.

Can I keep my number if I leave Grasshopper?

Yes. You can port your Grasshopper number to another provider. Ask Grasshopper for your account number and port-out PIN, keep the account active until the port completes, and set up the new call flow first. Youvoip ports numbers at no charge, usually within one to three weeks.

Your Grasshopper number is on your website, your Google Business Profile, your trucks and every email you send, so port it rather than start over. Set up the new menu and ring groups, invite the team and test the flow while Grasshopper keeps answering. Then submit the port. Calls start arriving through the new system on the day the number transfers, and you cancel Grasshopper after that. Our guide on how to port a business phone number lists the documents you need. Once the number is live on the new system, put it everywhere customers look, including your website footer and a company-wide email signature, so nobody calls an old number.
