Feature-based licensing enables organizations to scale from 10 to 5,000 extensions without incurring higher software expenses.
Charging per user penalizes expansion. We designed VitalPBX so that bringing on your 5000th extension carries the same cost as your 100th — the system should reward business growth, not force you to limit phone system usage.”— Rodrigo Cuadra, VitalPBX CEO
VitalPBX, the enterprise-grade PBX phone system based on Asterisk, is gaining notice from IT administrators and managed service providers due to a licensing strategy that departs from standard industry practice: pricing determined by features and plan level, rather than the number of users on the platform.
The majority of business phone systems levy fees per extension or per seat, which means expenses rise with each new hire, office opening, or department addition. VitalPBX’s Enterprise, Call Center, and Multi-Tenant plans provide a fixed cost structure that accommodates up to 5,000 extensions per plan, ensuring the software expenditure remains constant as the company expands.
This approach is especially relevant for system integrators and MSPs overseeing communications for numerous clients, along with rapidly growing SMBs that have outgrown free or entry-level PBX software but wish to steer clear of unpredictable per-seat fees as they scale up.
VitalPBX additionally provides a free Community edition supporting up to 10 extensions, offering smaller businesses and first-time users a no-cost opportunity to test the platform before moving to a paid plan.
"Per-user pricing punishes growth. We built VitalPBX so that adding your 500th extension costs the same as your 10th — the incentive should be to grow your business, not to ration your phone system."
— VitalPBX Spokesperson
