For consultants and freelancers, $9/mo
Referral emails, client texts and DMs, with every proposal's status in one place.
When you're the whole business, a lead who emailed last week can slip while you're delivering for a client. Ringvance keeps every conversation and a simple pipeline of open proposals in one place for $9 a month, no contract.
Founding price: your $9 rate is guaranteed for 24 months. Cancel anytime from your account.
No annual contract. Phone and texting are billed separately: an example small-business month with a business number and texting comes to $22.05 to $31.05, plus a one-time $22.50 texting registration. See the math.
Inbox

Where your customer messages come from
If you run one of these businesses, this probably sounds familiar.
Referral emails
A past client introduces you, and the thread sits under fifty others.
Texts from clients
Quick questions, call reschedules and 'did you see my email?'
Instagram and Facebook
People who follow your work ask whether you take projects their size.
Calls during client work
You're in a workshop or on a call, so the new lead goes to voicemail.
With Ringvance, texts, email, Facebook and Instagram messages land in one inbox. Email, Facebook and Instagram work as soon as you connect them. Calls and texts need a business number ($2.50 a month) or your current line forwarded to it, and texting starts after carrier registration, which usually takes a few days.
What changes for consultants and freelancers
Your leads, not your inbox's leads
Email, texts, Facebook and Instagram from prospects and clients land in one list, so a new lead isn't buried under newsletters.
Proposals you can count
The pipeline shows every open proposal and its estimated value, so you know what's coming before the month starts.
No setup project
Your account is ready in about a minute with the pipeline already set up. Run it from your desk or the free LeadConnector app.
Your pipeline
- New lead
- Contacted
- Quote sent
- Booked
- Won
- Lost
A referral starts in New lead and moves to Contacted after the intro call. Send a proposal and it's Quote sent. Booked when they sign, Won when it's paid, Lost if they pass.
Every account comes with these six stages. How the pipeline works.
What a month really costs
Worked out from our published rates. The usage numbers are an example for a small business, not a real customer's bill. Yours will be higher or lower depending on how much you call and text. The example is for Inbox. Core ($97/mo, adds missed-call text-back, booking and automatic follow-up) and Pro ($297/mo, adds an AI receptionist and $30 of monthly usage credit) use the same usage rates.
No business number
$9.00/mo
Use the CRM and the inbox for email, Facebook and Instagram only. No phone number and no texting, so no carrier fees. Email sent from your account is $1.50 per 1,000 emails.
Example: business number and texting
$22.05 to $31.05/mo
Example volumes: 100 minutes of incoming calls, 50 minutes of outgoing calls, 300 text segments and 200 emails a month.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Inbox subscription | $9.00 |
| Local business number1 number at $2.50 per month | $2.50 |
| Incoming calls100 minutes at $0.025 per minute | $2.50 |
| Outgoing calls50 minutes at $0.035 per minute | $1.75 |
| Texts, sent and received300 segments at $0.015 per segment, sent or received | $4.50 |
| Emails sent from your account200 emails at $1.50 per 1,000 emails | $0.30 |
| Carrier texting campaign fee$1.50 to $10.50 per month, set by the carriers | $1.50 to $10.50 |
Plus a one-time $22.50 carrier registration in the first month, for most small businesses. Not counted above: the platform's 5% pass-through fee on carrier fees and the small per-text surcharges the carriers add. Usage comes out of a prepaid balance that you top up yourself. See every rate.
Core, $97/mo
14-day free trialWhen Core is worth it
Core is worth it when booking intro calls takes more emails than the call itself. Inbox ($9 a month) is enough if you only need one inbox and a pipeline for consultants and freelancers.
Online booking calendar
Prospects book an intro call from your online booking calendar instead of trading emails about times.
Web forms
A web form on your site collects what they need and how to reach them.
Automatic follow-up
New inquiries and sent proposals get an automatic follow-up while you're busy delivering.

Questions consultants and freelancers ask
- Q01Is a CRM overkill for a one-person business?
- Not this one. There's no setup project: your account is ready in about a minute with a pipeline already in place, and you can run it from your phone. If it isn't for you, cancel from your account; there is no annual contract.
- Q02Can I send proposals or invoices from it?
- No. Ringvance doesn't create proposals or invoices. Send them the way you do today and move the lead to Quote sent, so you can see who still owes you an answer.
- Q03What do I actually get for $9 a month?
- The CRM (contacts, notes and a pipeline, with unlimited contacts) and one inbox for texts, email, Facebook and Instagram conversations. You can also use the free LeadConnector mobile app on iOS and Android with your Ringvance login. Founding price: your $9 rate is guaranteed for 24 months. No annual contract, cancel anytime.
- Q04What costs extra?
- Usage is pay-as-you-go: a local business number is $2.50 a month, calls are $0.025 a minute inbound and $0.035 a minute outbound, texts are $0.015 per segment, and email is $1.50 per 1,000. Texting also needs a one-time carrier registration ($22.50 for most small businesses) plus a carrier campaign fee of $1.50 to $10.50 a month, passed through at the carrier's price. Usage comes out of a prepaid balance shown in your account. The full table is on the pricing page.
- Q05What will I really pay each month?
- If you only use email, Facebook and Instagram, with no business number, it is $9.00 a month plus email sent from your account at $1.50 per 1,000 emails. With a business number and texting, an example small business (100 minutes of incoming calls, 50 minutes of outgoing calls, 300 text segments and 200 emails a month) comes to $22.05 to $31.05 a month, depending on the carrier campaign fee, plus a one-time $22.50 texting registration in the first month. Those are example volumes worked out from our published rates, not a real customer's bill. The line-by-line math is on the pricing page.
- Q06Can I text customers right away?
- Not on day one. Email, Facebook and Instagram messages work as soon as you connect them. Sending texts needs carrier registration first (A2P 10DLC), which US carriers require of every business that texts through a platform. Approval usually takes a few days, so start it on your first day. The registration help guide walks you through it and lists the fees.
- Q07How fast can I start using it?
- Your account is created in about a minute after checkout. You connect your channels during setup: email, Facebook and Instagram each need you to sign in and authorize them. Texting needs carrier registration first, which usually takes a few days.
- Q08Is there a mobile app?
- Yes. Manage conversations from your phone with our companion mobile app, LeadConnector, free on iOS and Android. You sign in with your Ringvance login.
- Q09Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. Cancel from your account whenever you want. No annual contract, no calls to a retention team.
- Q10Can I export my data if I leave?
- Yes. You can export your contacts to a CSV file from your account. For a full data export (contacts and conversation history), email us and we deliver it within 2 business days.
- Q11Is there a setup fee?
- No setup fee from us. If you want to text customers, the carriers charge a one-time registration fee, passed through at their price.
- Q12Can I keep my current phone number?
- Yes. Customers keep calling the number they already know. To get those calls into Ringvance, you add a Ringvance business number ($2.50 a month from your usage balance) and set your current line to forward calls to it, either every call or only the ones you don't pick up. Call forwarding moves calls, not texts: texts sent to your current number keep arriving on that phone. If you only want email, Facebook and Instagram in Ringvance, you don't need a number at all.
- Q13Does it do scheduling, dispatch or invoicing?
- No. Inbox has no booking calendar and no invoicing. It covers your customer conversations and your pipeline of leads and deals. Keep the calendar, invoicing tool or paper you use today for scheduling and billing. Online booking is part of Core ($97 a month). No plan does dispatch or invoicing.
- Q14Does it work with the tools I already use?
- It works next to them, not inside them. There is no integration today. Ringvance holds your customer conversations and your pipeline; keep your calendar, invoicing or booking tool for scheduling and billing.
- Q15Can I upgrade later?
- Yes. Core ($97 a month) adds missed-call text-back, online booking and web forms, automatic follow-up on new inquiries and quotes, review requests and a built-in dashboard. Pro ($297 a month) adds an AI receptionist on top of Core. New customers can start on Core or Pro directly from the pricing page, each with a 14-day free trial. Already on Inbox? Upgrade inside your account, in Settings under Company Billing, so you keep the same account; a new checkout would open a second one.
- Q16How does the Pro usage credit work?
- Pro includes $30 of usage credit every month, about 250 AI receptionist minutes. The AI receptionist is $0.12 a minute after that. The phone number, call minutes, texts and email use the same published rates as Inbox.
- Q17Is there a free trial?
- Core and Pro come with a 14-day free trial. Inbox is $9 a month with no trial, and you can cancel anytime if it's not for you.
- Q18Who answers if I have a support question?
- Email hello@ringvance.com. We reply within 1 business day.
