Best for IT teams that run their own phone system
Yeastar sells its P-Series PBX as an appliance, software or cloud service, with apps on every platform, a call center, a shared inbox and AI transcription. No prices are published on the pages read, and the cheapest plan is appliance only.
Who Yeastar is for
- Fits if you want to run a PBX in your own cloud or on site
- Works for businesses that want to keep their existing SIP trunk and IP phones
Who Yeastar is not for
- Skip it if you want prices up front, because none appear on the pages read
- Not for you if you want cloud or software on the Standard plan, which is appliance only
- Tight if you need hot standby on the cloud edition, which does not offer it
- Watch out: part of the platform, such as NovoOne, is aimed at service providers
- Watch out: the trial covers the Cloud PBX only
Why Yeastar gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published; the site shows a feature comparison and a trial instead, so it sits at the middle.
- CFree plan and trialA 30-day free trial of the Cloud PBX with no credit card. No free plan.
- BFeaturesQueues, wallboards, outbound dialing, a shared inbox for chat, SMS and WhatsApp, AI transcripts and 500+ IP phone models. Nothing in the listing is missing from the phone job; hot standby is not offered on the cloud edition.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. A PBX has phones, trunks and extensions to configure.
- APlatforms and integrationsWeb, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android clients and a Chrome extension, plus Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Zoho CRM, Oracle Opera and WhatsApp.

Keep Yeastar, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Yeastar 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 2.6 is higher than 35 of the 44 other business phone systems we grade.
What you could not
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- Video calls.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- 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.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook and Zoho CRM among them.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Yeastar’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.
What is Yeastar?
Yeastar makes the P-Series phone system, a PBX that comes as a cloud service, as software you install, or as an appliance, with Linkus apps for calling, chat and meetings. It also sells contact center, messaging and AI add-ons, and sells through partners and service providers.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published on the pages read; the site shows a feature comparison and a free trial instead.
- The Standard plan is appliance-only; the software and cloud editions need the Enterprise or Ultimate plan.
- Hot standby needs an extra redundancy server and does not apply to the cloud edition.
- Part of the platform, such as NovoOne, is aimed at service providers rather than single businesses.
Key features
- Three editions
- The P-Series PBX runs as an appliance on the Standard plan, and as an appliance, software or cloud service on the Enterprise and Ultimate plans.
- Linkus UC clients
- Web, iOS and Android, Windows and macOS clients plus a Chrome extension for calls, team chat, meetings and call recordings.
- Call center and outbound dialing
- Queues, wallboards, agent coaching and call recording, with progressive, power and agentless auto-dialing for outbound campaigns.
- Shared customer inbox
- Website live chat, SMS, WhatsApp and Facebook messages arrive in one inbox, with bulk messaging for outreach.
- Built-in AI
- Call transcription and summaries, voicemail-to-text, text-to-speech prompts and an AI receptionist for greetings and routing.
- Phones and SIP trunks
- The cloud edition lists compatibility with 500+ IP phone models and 210+ SIP trunk providers so existing numbers can be kept.
