SimuWave vs IntermediaThe Intermedia alternative you can start today
Intermedia Unite, sold through private-label, co-branded or agent partner models. Partners start with a form or sales.
Both SimuWave and Intermedia let an MSP sell business phone service under its own brand on a hosted platform. The difference is how you get in. Intermedia sells its Unite communications suite through partners, who can private-label it, co-brand it or refer it as an agent. You start with their partner form or sales team, and partner pricing is wholesale or negotiated, not published. Partners must be located in the US, Canada, the UK or Europe. With SimuWave, every price is on the website and you sign up online today, with $25 of service credit and no minimum or contract.
MSPs and IT shops that want to see the numbers first and start on their own schedule. Published pricing, online signup, no platform fee and no minimum. Your brand on the portal, on your own subdomain or domain, and one multi-tenant portal for all your customers.
