In short
RingCentral RingEX is a large global UCaaS suite: UK plans cost £12.99 to £29.99 per user per month on annual billing (£17.99 to £33.99 monthly) with 100 to 4,000 inclusive minutes, and unlimited UK calling is only an upgrade for accounts of 20 or more users. Its AI Assistant (call summaries and writing help) is included, and an AI Receptionist costs £32 per account. AymexConnect costs £8.95 to £23.95 monthly with no contract, unlimited UK calling from £17.95 at any team size, two-way SMS from your UK number and a native Linux app. Choose RingCentral for large multi-country estates; choose AymexConnect for a UK team under 20 that wants unlimited calling and SMS at a lower price.
Price and terms
RingCentral's UK RingEX plans are Essentials (£12.99 annual, £17.99 monthly, 100 minutes, no video), Standard (£19.99 / £23.99, 750 minutes, video, IVR, on-demand recording), Premium (£24.99 / £28.99, 2,000 minutes, automatic recording) and Ultimate (£29.99 / £33.99, 4,000 minutes, sales-only). Unlimited EMEA calling is an upgrade on Standard and Premium for accounts with 20 or more users.
A ten-person UK team that wants unlimited calling cannot buy it from RingCentral, because the upgrade needs 20 users. The same team on AymexConnect Professional pays £179.50 a month, ex VAT, with unlimited UK calls, SMS, video and AI call summaries.
