Hosted business phone service with visual call flows
Which one is for you
Pick Anveo if
- Fits if you need a small phone setup for 2 to 6 people and want a drawn call flow
- Works for people who want to pay for minutes as they use them
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: call minutes, numbers and SMS are billed by rate on top of the package
- Tight if you need transfers, as attended transfer and call parking are add-ons on every package
- Watch out: paging needs the Business plan at $40.55 a month
- Not for you if you want apps, as none are listed
Pick OnSIP if
- Fits if you run a small office of five or more in the U.S. or Canada and want desk phones in the price
- Works for teams that already own SIP phones and would rather pay per feature
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you have fewer than 5 users, because Unlimited has a 5-user minimum
- Not for you if you are outside the U.S. and Canada, which the sign-up page says it does not serve
- Pricey if you need recording or queues, at $4.95 and $14.95 per user a month on top
- Watch out: E911 is $1.80 per user a month and each extra number is $2.00
- Watch out: there is no free plan and no trial

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
