Bottom line

Cloud contact center. Digital bundle is $119 per seat per month. Core is $159. Plus, Pro, and Enterprise are sales-quoted.

Stands out for: A published Digital seat at $119 for digital-first CX, with AI contact-center tools on higher bundles.

Watch out for: Plus, Pro, and Enterprise still need sales. $119 is a digital bundle, not a full voice contact center by default.

Overview

Five9 is a cloud contact-center platform for omnichannel customer experience. Digital bundle is $119 per seat per month in US dollars. Core bundle is $159 per seat per month. Plus, Pro, and Enterprise bundles are contact-sales. The product is used by large CX teams for voice, digital, and AI agents, not by a single recruiter making outbound hiring calls. Buying the Digital or Core seats still sits on Five9's CCaaS stack.

CX leaders pick Five9 when they need a real contact center, not a sales power dialer. The $119 Digital seat is the cheapest published bundle. Higher voice and AI packages go through sales. There is no published free trial. If you need a sales dialer, look at Orum, Kixie, or Trellus. If you need a recruiter line, look at CallMantra. Five9 is the CCaaS option on this list.
