    Additional DetailsTrioPBX‑Pricing at a glance On the TrioPBX pricing page you’ll find transparent per‑user, per‑month pricing with all key features included — and importantly, no hidden long‑term contracts. Basic Plan – Ideal for small teams and lean budgets The Basic tier starts at just US $5 per user/month when you select 1‑5 users. Included with this plan: 200 local calling minutes per user — a solid allowance for light to moderate calling needs. Core features such as multi‑lingual IVR (Interactive Voice Response), the ability to ring all devices (desktop, mobile, web phone), one year of call recording, a dashboard, and a web‑phone interface. The entry cost and bundled minutes make this plan very friendly for startups, remote teams, freelancers, micro‑businesses or any operation that doesn’t yet need advanced features or large volumes of calls. Why it works for low‑budget scenarios At US $5/user/month the overhead is minimal, so you can get professional VoIP functionality without a large investment upfront. The included minutes mean you’re not immediately paying extra for basic outgoing calls, helping to control cost predictability. You get essential functionality (IVR, call recording, web phone access) that many legacy or traditional phone systems charge extra for – so you’re getting modern features for much lower cost. The plan is scalable. As you grow, you can move to the “Advanced” or “Premium” tiers when you genuinely need more minutes or additional features like click‑to‑dial, holiday routing, webhooks or audit logs. For now, you pay only for what you need. The billing is monthly and in USD with no long‑term lock‑in stated beyond “Cancel anytime” in the general FAQ section. Perfect use‑cases for the Basic plan A small team (1‑5 users) working from home or in a virtual/remote office environment who want unified communications without high cost. A startup or small business where budget is tight, but you still want features like IVR and call recording to present a professional image. A business that wants to test hosted PBX/VoIP before committing to higher‑volume plans — you can start lean and upgrade later.

    Really Digium Switchvox is a great product, it's more of an overall service and it's great. Starting at the phones, I think they're well engineered, from button placement to make call handling a breeze, bright status indicators and programmable keys that keep things simple, and a clear back-lite screen, to light up those late night support calls. I've watched the web management interface grow into a gorgeous, friendly, informational tool that gives me a system that can do 95% of the things my customers request. The only times I've seen it as less appropriate is when it comes to the more budget restricted. I've always believed you get what you pay for, and Digium Switch provides a lovely packaged, turnkey product, that doesn't require an expert to maintain once installed. On top of that, you're paying for the service. I can speak from experience, and countless support calls, that Digium Switchvox's support is second to none. They're efficient, intelligent, friendly, and professional, I've never had a bad experience, keep up the great work!

    Cons
    Sangoma
    • I've installed quite a few of these systems for a number of customers, and I've found a number of times having access to the second Ethernet port on some of the larger systems, and the ability to do some sort of static routing, and firewall functionality. I would love to have the ability to connect one port to the carrier's cpe router, and the other port to the customer's network.
    • I've worked with Voip products for a number of years, and various asterisk iterations. I'd like to see more access to the asterisk cli for troubleshooting, and/or potentially some sort of shell access.
    • I'd like to see the Digum Switchvox phones have vpn functionality. It would be great to deploy a field office with a pre-provisioned phone that automatically connects back to the corporate network via a secure vpn tunnel from most internet connections. Currently we either use a softphone, manually program a Cisco phone that does have the capability, or deploy an semi expensive router that support a secure tunnel. It would be much easier to sell a customer on a remote office and a fancy Digium phone, if they didn't need the extra hardware.

    I've installed, and maintained a number of different phone systems over the last few years, including nationwide level Voip service providers relying entirely on custom built Asterisk systems, to SOHO systems connected to cloud level services. So far Digium Switchvox has been one of my favorites when it comes to ease of use, customer service, and over all reliability. While there are a few things I'd like to see done a little differently, updates are released frequently with fixes, and new features.
