Line2 Pricing (2026): $7.99/User, Billed Annually

On its cheapest plan that covers ten seats, Line2 lists $7.99 per seat per month on annual billing. For ten seats that is $80 a month, or $7.99 per seat once three years of billing and any setup fee are counted.

Paying monthly instead of annually costs $9.99 per seat — 1.25 times the advertised figure.

Unlimited calls within the U.S. & Canada, unlimited texts & picture messages; "Unlimited plans are subject to overages as described in our Terms of Service." 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. No taxes-or-fees language on the page. The page source also contains a hidden three-tier block (Starter/Growth/Business, $15.99/$20.99/$25.99 list, $13.75/$17.66/$21.83 annual) that is not displayed to visitors; it is recorded here for traceability and not used. The vendor's home page (read 2026-09-05) positions the product as a second, personal number ("Your real number is none of their business") and points business buyers elsewhere: "Need a number for business? Try eVoice". No seat limit is stated, so max_seats stays empty.

What it costs as the business grows

Effective cost per seat per month over three years, by the number of seats you actually have. Where a plan has a minimum, the minimum is billed and the cost per seat you use rises. “n/a” means the plan is not available at that size. checked 2026-09-05

How that is worked out

seats billed = max(seats you have, minimum seats the plan requires) plan per month = published seat price x seats billed three-year cost = plan per month x 36 + setup fee effective per seat = three-year cost / (36 x seats you have) monthly-billing gap = monthly-billing price / annual-billing price flat package = flat monthly price + (seats billed - users included) x additional-user price add-on plans = shown on the provider's page, never ranked (they are not a phone system on their own) calls not included = shown on the provider's page, never ranked (calls are billed per minute, or sold as separate call packages, on top of the seat price) plan at each size = the cheapest plan that covers that seat count; a plan with a user cap hands over to the next one

Nothing else is added. Taxes, regulatory recovery fees, USF and e911 charges are not added to any figure on this site. On taxes and regulatory fees, 2 of the 37 providers state that the price already carries them on at least one plan, 0 publish what they come to, 14 say they are extra without an amount, and 21 say nothing. Where a provider says the price is all-inclusive or includes them, the page says so beside the figure; everywhere else the invoice will be higher than the figure. Where a plan needs another subscription first (a Google Workspace or Microsoft Teams license), that subscription is not in the figure and the page says so. Handset purchases, number porting, international calling and overage are excluded. Every figure here is a floor. The full method is at Method.

Taxes and fees

Line2 says nothing about taxes or regulatory fees on its pricing page. checked 2026-09-05

No figure on this page includes taxes or regulatory fees. This provider does not say on its pricing page whether they are added, so we treat them as unknown rather than as zero. In the United States those charges are real and recurring, and they land on the invoice rather than the pricing page.

Where this leaves you

If you will not commit to a year, the number to budget is $9.99 a seat, not $7.99. The advertised figure is the annual price.
If the three-year seat cost is what matters, Talkroute works out at $5.90 on the same basis — compare the two.
Do not treat any of these as the invoice: Line2 says nothing about taxes or regulatory fees on its pricing page, so we treat those charges as unknown, not as zero — what providers do and do not say about fees.

Who this page is not for

This is not a review. We have not used Line2, we hold no opinion on its call quality or its support, and nothing here is a recommendation. It answers one question: what the published price turns into per seat over three years.
