OpenPhone pricing and Quo pricing with OpenPhone cost per user by team size

The prices below are copied from quo.com/pricing as published in September 2026. OpenPhone renamed itself Quo, so older reviews quote the same plans under the OpenPhone name, some with the earlier $50 monthly rate on Scale. Check the live page before you sign.

Yearly totals are $180, $276 and $420 per user. Starter has no call analytics and caps shared numbers at 10 paid users. Business adds phone menus, automatic recording, AI summaries on all calls and the HubSpot and Salesforce integrations.

Every plan includes one local or toll-free number per user, unlimited calling and messaging in the US and Canada, voicemail transcription, shared numbers with a shared call and text history, Slack and Zapier connections and free number porting. Quo offers a 7-day free trial. Starter support is email only, Business and Scale add live chat, and only Scale gets phone support.

The seat price is the start of the invoice, not the end of it. These are the charges buyers most often miss on an OpenPhone quote.

• Extra phone numbers: $5 per number per month beyond the one included with each seat.
• Carrier registration for texting: $19.50 one time, required by US carriers before business texts go out.
• Monthly messaging fee: $1.50 to $3 per month, passed through for registered texting.
• International calls and texts: charged per minute or per message, depending on the country.
• Sona AI agent: every plan gets 1,000 free credits, which Quo counts as about 10 calls at 100 credits per call. More credits cost $25 to $199 a month for 40 to 600 calls.
• Automated texts: $0.01 per outgoing message.

Taxes, E911 and regulatory recovery fees come on top, as with every US provider, and they vary by state. Ask for the all-in monthly figure so you compare the same thing across vendors.

The feature split matters more than the $4 to $8 gap between plans. Starter is built for one person or a very small team: calls and texts from the app, voicemail transcripts and a shared number. It has no phone menu, so callers cannot press 1 for sales, it has no call analytics, and call recording is manual. AI call summaries on Starter only cover calls the Sona agent answers. Business is where Quo becomes a phone system for a team, with phone menus, automatic recording, warm transfers, group calling, analytics and the HubSpot and Salesforce integrations. Scale mainly adds support priority. Across all three plans Quo runs on its own mobile, desktop and web apps and does not support physical desk phones.

Here is what a US team pays per month for Quo Business, the plan most growing teams need because it holds the phone menu and automatic recording, before taxes, fees and texting charges. Youvoip is shown for comparison. Its Essentials plan already includes a phone menu, automatic recording and analytics, and its Business plan adds texting, queues and CRM integrations. Youvoip bills at least two seats.

Each cell shows the yearly billing total first and the month to month total second.

The honest reading: for a solo owner Quo is cheaper, because Youvoip has a two-seat minimum. From three users up, Youvoip Essentials costs less than Quo Business on either billing cycle and still includes the phone menu, recording and analytics. If you need texting and CRM logging, Youvoip Business at $19.50 yearly is $3.50 per seat below Quo Business, while month to month Quo Business is $6 per seat cheaper than our $39.

Starter fits a solo owner or a two-person team who answers on a cell phone, texts customers and does not need a menu. Business fits any team where a caller should press 1 or 2, where calls must be recorded every time, or where calls need to land in HubSpot or Salesforce. Scale is only worth the extra $12 per seat if you need Quo's priority or phone support. The common mistake is buying Starter for a growing office and finding out a month later that the phone menu and automatic recording require Business, which raises every seat.

Quo is good value for small, mobile teams that text as much as they talk. The shared inbox for calls and texts is one of the best in the category, the apps are fast and texting is included on every plan. It gets harder to justify when the business turns into an office. A receptionist who wants a handset, a dispatch desk that needs a real call queue, or a team where every call must be recorded will push you to Business on every seat, and desk phones are still off the table. Plenty of home services and field teams also text customers about overdue bills from the same number, and moving those reminders into software that chases every unpaid invoice by SMS and email keeps collections out of the shared inbox.

Every Youvoip seat is a full phone line, with a minimum of two seats and no contract. On Essentials, $12.50 per user per month billed yearly or $25 monthly, each user gets a number, a multi-level auto attendant with business hours and holidays, ring groups with simultaneous and sequential ringing, voicemail to email with transcription, automatic call recording kept 90 days, call analytics with missed calls and answer rate per person, and support for compatible SIP desk phones. Business, at $19.50 yearly or $39 monthly, adds business texting, call queues with wait time announcements, a year of searchable recordings, HubSpot, Salesforce and Zoho integrations, and whisper and barge for team leads. Youvoip does not offer an AI answering agent, so if that is why you are buying, Quo is the stronger fit.

How much does OpenPhone cost per month?

OpenPhone, now Quo, costs $15 to $35 per user per month billed yearly, or $19 to $47 per user billed monthly, across its Starter, Business and Scale plans. Extra numbers are $5 a month each, and texting adds a $19.50 one-time registration and $1.50 to $3 a month, before taxes and regulatory fees.

Is Quo cheaper than OpenPhone?

No, Quo pricing and OpenPhone pricing are the same, because they are the same product. OpenPhone rebranded as Quo and kept its plans: Starter $15, Business $23 and Scale $35 per user billed yearly, or $19, $33 and $47 monthly. Some older reviews list Scale at $50 month to month, while quo.com now shows $47.

Does OpenPhone have a free plan?

No. Quo does not sell a free plan, but it offers a 7-day free trial on its paid plans. To test a phone menu before you pay anyone, build a call flow in the Youvoip VoIP demo and hear it run in your browser.

Does the Quo Starter plan include an auto attendant?

No. Quo lists phone menus (IVR) on Business and Scale only. On Starter, calls ring the assigned users or go to voicemail. Youvoip includes a multi-level auto attendant on every plan, including Essentials at $12.50 per user billed yearly.

Export the call recordings, voicemails and text threads you must keep, because they stay in the Quo workspace. Then set up the new menu, ring groups and voicemail boxes, register any desk phones, invite the team and test while Quo keeps answering. Submit the port for every number, including shared and toll-free lines, and close the Quo workspace after calls and texts arrive on the new system.
