Ringotel - what makes it worth the money?

[Voipy]

I had a look at Ringotel. It is my understanding that it is a sofphone. Pricing seems to be very high for that though so maybe I am misunderstanding it. It's €2.49 per month, which is more than double compared to what we charge for an extension on a PBX. This vs Acrobits or microsip or a whole host of others that are either free, or have a once off price, in the case of acrobits $9.99.

I can't see many of our customers being willing to pay if there are plenty of alternatives available that essentially do the same thing - but maybe they DON'T do the same thing. Am I missing something here?

I like the fact that updates are pushed to the client so the software can always stay current. How many clients go out and seek out updates for the sip client.

You can update phone configurations on their portal and they are pushed to the softphones

Also nice that Ringotel uses a proxy so the softphones will only be coming in from one source IP

I'm sure there are more reasons to like it
