White-label hosted PBX from a team with deep FreePBX heritage. Strong hardware portfolio (ATAs, gateways, DECT).
Both are white-label hosted PBX platforms aimed at MSPs, but they're shaped differently. ClearlyIP carries the FreePBX/Asterisk heritage forward, with a strong hardware portfolio (ATAs, gateways, DECT, paging). SimuWave is a clean-sheet platform built around a modern white-label experience — branded subdomains, modern UI, visual call flow designer, and live operational tooling — for MSPs who want their customers to feel like the platform was built by them.
SimuWave is for
MSPs who want white-label that feels native, not bolted on — branded subdomains, modern UI, visual flow designer with live monitoring. The platform stays invisible; your brand is the only one your customers see.

What only SimuWave has
Features built into SimuWave that you won't find — or won't find at the same depth — in ClearlyIP.
Live calls light up the canvas as they route. Watch active calls move through the routing graph in real time. ClearlyIP doesn't have a live-canvas overlay.
Modern visual call flow designer. Drag-and-drop node graph with subflows, conditional routing, time conditions, and visual wiring. ClearlyIP carries the FreePBX-style module-based approach forward.
Outage failover as a drop-in node with auto-detect, grace and recovery periods, and email alerts.
Toggle switches with feature code, BLF, and custom spoken announcements. Flip via phone, web, or BLF button; system confirms with your custom TTS phrase.
White-label that feels native. Each tenant on their own branded subdomain, your colors and logo throughout, your support email — the platform vanishes behind your brand. No "powered by" footers, no carryover branding.
Multi-carrier DID inventory aggregated search across providers — local-city coverage in one search.
Modern stack and API. Next.js, real-time WebSocket UI, public REST API and webhooks designed for modern integrations from day one.
Bottom line
For MSPs who want white-label that feels native — modern UI, branded subdomains, visual flow designer with live activity overlay, and operational tooling (outage failover, toggle switches with TTS, PIN gates) built directly into the product — SimuWave is the more direct fit.
