Why Advertised ≠ Real Cost

Provider Recovery Fees

Not government taxes business costs passed to you. Vonage: $5.25/ext/mo. Nextiva: $3.95/line/mo. RingCentral: $3.00/seat. Can add $5,000+/yr at 50 users.

Mandatory Platform Dependencies

Google Voice requires Workspace. These real costs are routinely omitted from "starting at" vendor comparisons.

Feature Gap Upgrades

Dialpad Standard ($15) lacks CRM and 24/7 support → Pro at $25. Ooma Essentials ($19.95) is voice-only → Pro at $24.95. Adds $5–$10/user/mo hidden cost.
