The report card
Best for a hosted phone system with a visual call flow
Anveo is a hosted phone service with a visual call flow builder and a free plan for 2 users. Calls, numbers and SMS are billed separately, and attended transfers and call parking are add-ons.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $6.55 a month on yearly billing ($7.85 monthly) for 3 users, under the $7.20 line. Call minutes, numbers and SMS are charged on top. |
| Free plan and trial | B | A free plan with 2 users, a 10-item call flow and voicemail to email. Voicemail to text is $0.25 a message. |
| Features | C | A visual call flow builder, PBX features, fax, campaigns, numbers, SMS and an API. Attended transfers and call parking are add-ons, and no minutes are included. |

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Anveo is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Small teams that want a free or low-cost hosted PBX
- Businesses using their own SIP phones or adapters
Worth knowing
- Numbers, call minutes and SMS are billed separately by rate; the packages cover the phone system itself.
- Voicemail to text is $0.25 a message on Free, and extra messages beyond the included amount cost $0.10.
- Attended call transfers and call parking are add-ons on every package, and paging needs the Business plan.
- The packages page gives no included call minutes, so usage is charged at the published call rates.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Anveo you would be making phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 55 of the 77 other business phone systems we grade. It costs $78.60 a year.
What you could not
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Anveo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
