3CX vs Aavaz — Side-by-side comparison
3CX vs Aavaz · April 2026

Your 3CX renewal shouldn't cost
3× to 10× what it did last year.

If you were running more extensions than your license ratio allowed, the April 2026 enforcement turned a $300 renewal into anywhere from $600 to $3,000 — for the same phones and the same calls.

Below is a plain-numbers look at what 3CX now wants from you, what Aavaz costs at the same scale, and what it actually takes to switch. No pricing tiers to decode. No simultaneous-call meter. Your quote is your bill.

ANNUAL LICENSING — SIDE BY SIDE

Your 3CX renewal vs
Aavaz migration — the numbers.

All figures are annual USD, pre-tax. Aavaz rows assume BYOC (bring your own carrier) so your existing SIP trunks and DIDs stay exactly where they are.

If you were running too many
extensions on your 3CX license…

THE PITCH

You were paying 3CX $300 a year. They now want anywhere from to 10× that for the same office. Aavaz gives you the same capability for less than half — and we won't change the deal on you.

WHY CUSTOMERS CHOOSE AAVAZ

Six reasons 3CX customers
are making the move.

01

No ratio enforcement

No 4:1 simultaneous-call math. No audit risk. Your extension count is your extension count.

02

No seat tax

We don't charge per user and we don't gate features by tier. Run 40 extensions or 4,000 — the PBX is the same.

03

No hosted upcharge

Self-host on the same box 3CX was running on, or let us host it. Either way, hosting isn't a pricing lever.

04

Your quote is your bill

Fixed annual figures. No 'consumption' surprises, no surcharge when a rep joins a call, no retroactive true-ups.

05

Migrate in 30 days

Four-step plan: sign up, map your setup with us, cut over in one window, port DIDs. Most teams go live in a month.

06

Commercial stability

We put the no-retroactive-reprice commitment in writing on every migration contract. The deal you sign is the deal you keep.

FOR YOUR IT TEAM OR 3CX PARTNER

The technical detail.

What actually changes under the hood — and what stays exactly where it was.

Fully compatible

Just about everything your 3CX deployment does today — extensions, queues, IVRs, call recording, conferencing — runs natively on Aavaz.

Asterisk-based

Aavaz is built on Asterisk, the PBX engine that is open source. Your engineers already know how to work on it.

Standard SIP phones

Yealink, Polycom, Grandstream, Fanvil, Snom, Cisco — whatever you bought for 3CX keeps working. Re-provisioning is a config change, not a hardware cycle.

Keep your SIP trunks

Your existing carriers, DIDs, and termination routes plug into Aavaz as-is. BYOC means you don't touch the commercial relationship you already have.

Docker-native deployment

Repurpose your existing 3CX VM. Use it for Aavaz, it will keep working just fine. Stand up in ten minutes.

Configuration Import

We have people that can read 3CX extensions, queues, and IVRs and setup the equivalent configuration in Aavaz.

No vendor lock on the data

Call detail records, recordings, and configuration export in standard formats. If you ever want to move again, we won't hold your history hostage.

Migrate in 30 days.
Keep your numbers and your trunks.

Stop waiting for the renewal quote to get smaller. Start the migration on your own timetable — we'll meet you at whichever step makes sense.
