Keep NFON, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace NFON 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 50 of the 77 other business phone systems grade higher. It costs $91.16 a year.
What you could not
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- Video calls.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. NFON’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.
