Some of the integrations include

Value for Money

CircleLoop offers competitive pricing plans for both frequent and infrequent calling habits. There are 2 plans to choose between, and you can also take advantage of the add-ons included. Here’s a breakdown of the CircleLoop pricing structure:

Most businesses will find the Unlimited Plan more advantageous, and if you find yourself making more than 1 or 2 calls per day, it already pays for itself. If you are primarily using the service for inbound calls though, the Pay as You Go plan is impressively inclusive, offering some great features along with its free inbound call capability. International calls will cost you from 3p per minute for more than 170 countries around the globe including Canada, Denmark, Hong Kong, Israel, India, Mexico, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Korea, and the US, making CircleLoop one of the most competitively priced options for international business calling available. Other countries such as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Costa Rica, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, China, and Sri Lanka can cost either 10p or 20p per minute, still a cheaper alternative than most

Regardless of which plan you choose, the best part about CircleLoop’s pricing structure is that it is absolutely commitment-free, there are no contracts you are committing to, and you can cancel at any time. We liked that kind of flexibility because it ensures that you are always the one in control of your communications solution and can get out whenever you want

A few other pricing options are available as well if you want to boost your productivity with CircleLoop. You can get an additional UK line for £2 per month, port an existing number for £20, or add international numbers for as little as £5 per month.

Mobility

CircleLoop offers a flawless mobile app, making your business as mobile as you want it. You can do everything you can do from the office directly from your mobile device, so CircleLoop is ideal if

• You need to get up and go all of a sudden

• You want to work from home

• You're going on vacation and don't want to miss out on a meeting

• You have any other reason you want or need to work remotely

The mobile app is clear with simple navigation and contains all of the same functionality as the desktop app. It runs on 4G for the highest quality connection and ensures you’ll never miss or drop a call.

Scalability

Scalability is simple with CircleLoop because of the payment structure and app integration. You don't need to think about which plan will work best for your business as you grow. The pricing structure fits your business at any stage. The technology can also handle a tremendous amount of calls and tasks simultaneously, so even as you grow, you won't feel any lag

In fact, a system like CircleLoop will actually improve sales because customers are more likely to answer a phone call from a local number than a generic 800 number or out of area call. So, CircleLoop can help your company scale up both directly and indirectly

Ease of Setup & Management

Setup couldn't possibly be easier than it is with CircleLoop. Because it has no equipment to deal with (more on that below) and no integration, you'll likely be up and running in just a matter of minutes. We really liked how fast and simple it was to get things started with both the CircleLoop desktop and mobile apps

Managing the accounts was equally stress-free. We could quickly add or remove users with a few clicks, add new phone numbers, organize calls, and make calls without having to leave the system or learn any complicated procedures. All changes we made went live instantly, something else we really appreciated about this system because nobody wants to sit around waiting for systems to update when you need a change to happen now.
