SimuWave vs NetSapiensThe NetSapiens alternative you can start today
UCaaS platform software for service providers, by subscription or license purchase, deployed in your cloud, theirs, or hybrid.
Both SimuWave and NetSapiens let an MSP sell business phone service under its own brand on a hosted platform. The difference is how you get in. NetSapiens sells its UCaaS platform software to service providers, either as a subscription or as a license purchase, and it can run in your own cloud, in theirs, or a mix of both. Pricing is quoted rather than published, and you start with a demo or a call with a licensing specialist. 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.
