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. - **Category:** Business Phone Systems - **Made by:** Xiamen Yeastar Digital Technology Co., Ltd. - **Website:** https://www.yeastar.com - **Runs on:** Web, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, Browser extension - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want prices up front, because none appear on the pages read. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing Yeastar's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## 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. ## Good for - IT teams that want to run a PBX on-premises or in their own cloud - Resellers and service providers that white-label a phone system - Businesses that want to keep their existing SIP trunk and IP phones ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026.

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. - You could not: Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. - You could not: Video calls. - You could not: The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. - You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook and Zoho CRM among them. - You could not: People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
