Our takeOoma Office publishes its prices for three tiers and sells them month to month, so the main cost is easy to work out.
Plan for the activation fee, taxes and fees on top, and check which tier carries the features you need: video limits, call queues, team chat and AI transcriptions sit above Essentials.
Why we rate itPublic tiers, no contract and a named list of integrations make it easy to size up.
Calling across the US, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico is included on every plan.
The catchTaxes and fees, a $29.95 activation fee and tier-based caps on texting and video can raise the real cost above the headline price.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Ooma says Office deploys in about 15 minutes without technical expertise, and the mobile and desktop apps need no hardware.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    The signup calculator covers 1 to 5 users; 6 or more users, Enterprise and the AI add-ons go through Ooma sales.
  3. Walled garden
    No contract. Ooma lists a free transfer of an existing number in; its pages do not state the terms for moving a number out.
