RingCentral (and RingCX) is a powerful, large communications suite that serves big, complex organizations well. If you're a small team who finds all that capability heavier than you need, SimpleCX takes a lighter, plain-language approach.
Honest framing
RingCentral is a capable, wide-ranging communications platform, and its breadth is a real advantage for larger organizations. For a small team, though, that same breadth can mean more to configure and more to learn than the job requires. SimpleCX is built to be the opposite: you describe what you need and it designs the rest.
What's different about SimpleCX
A plain-language conversation designs your numbers, menus, queues, greetings, routing and team — no heavy configuration project to work through first. You bring the plain words; the intelligence does the hard part.
Ask your own account questions in plain language and get a one-line answer with a chart, read-only. Instead of learning where everything lives, you just ask for it.
Per-seat pricing with no seat minimum and no setup fee, month-to-month. Long-distance and usage are billed transparently, only as you use them.
Voice, text, chat, email and social on the CallCorp platform's 373 capabilities — matched to your business during setup, so a small team gets depth without the assembly.

It's built on the CallCorp platform's 373 capabilities: multi-channel handling, after-hours and callbacks, routing, transcription, summaries and sentiment, recording, reporting, quality and coaching, an outbound dialer, integrations and workforce management on higher tiers — matched to your described business at setup.
