Best for organisations that buy phones through a partner
Sangoma sells business phone systems in cloud, hybrid and on-premises forms, with video, a contact center and AI features on top. No prices are published, so every deployment is quoted through sales or a partner, and a buyer has to match one of several product lines to a need.
Who Sangoma is for
- Fits if you want a phone system you can run in the cloud, on site or both
- Works for buyers who already deal with a reseller or partner
Who Sangoma is not for
- Skip it if you want a price before you talk to anyone, as none is published
- Not for you if you want a simple signup, since every deployment is quoted
- Too light for a quick comparison: the line covers Business Voice, Switchvox, CX and SIP trunking
- Watch out: some features, such as Starbox survivability, belong to higher bundles like Business Voice Plus
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is listed

- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, plus Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Google Calendar links. No API is listed.

Keep Sangoma, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Sangoma 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: 36 of the 44 other business phone systems grade higher.
What you could not
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- Video calls.
- Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Sangoma’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.
