    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.

    CallHippo
    Calling abroad to international clients, while we use international number then response rate increases. Also, the client also prefers their country's number to respond. The pricing part is less appropriate. I believe they should be charged only for calling services. The name is also not suitable like what is Hippo means in the name. The person who uses this service is a Hippo?

    It's the need of my team to perform well and it's increasing the possibility of getting more business. Clients also have more trust while responding when they saw their country's number rather than any other country's unknown number.

    Support Rating
    CallHippo
    Their support is built around trying to prove why the customer (who is not getting the service promised at the price promised) is wrong. For that they pass with flying colors. For actually supporting the user though they are horrible. They come up with creative scenarios to overcharge the credit card while not giving a service.
