How much does Yeastar cost in South Africa?
There is no single Yeastar price. What you pay depends on the edition, the plan, and your local partner. Here is how the cost actually breaks down.
How much does Yeastar cost in South Africa?
There is no single figure. Yeastar pricing depends on the edition (appliance bought once with an annual plan, self-hosted software, or cloud billed per user per month), the plan you choose from Basic to Ultimate, and your local partner’s hosting and support markup. Only the appliance plans are listed publicly, in US dollars; cloud and software pricing is quoted in rands through certified SA partners.
What drives the cost of Yeastar
There is no single Yeastar price in South Africa because three choices set the number, and only one of them is published openly.
Your total depends on the edition you run (an on-box appliance, self-hosted software, or hosted cloud), the plan you pick (Basic, Standard, Enterprise or Ultimate), and your local partner’s markup for hosting, SIP trunks, numbers and support. Yeastar publishes list pricing only for its appliance plans, in US dollars; cloud and software pricing is quoted through certified South African partners on a per-user, per-month basis.

Yeastar’s real price is set less by Yeastar than by which edition you run and which partner you buy it from.

The four plans
Within each edition, the plan sets the feature ceiling.
| Plan | What it adds | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Core business calling and PBX features | Very small offices |
| Standard | Mobility and remote-worker features | Hybrid teams |
| Enterprise | Call-centre features, integrations, AI transcription allowance | Growing SMEs |
| Ultimate | Multi-site, full integration set, larger AI allowance | Multi-branch businesses |
What to expect to pay in South Africa
Because cloud and software pricing is partner-quoted, treat these as indicative ranges to sanity-check a quote, not a Yeastar price list.
Yeastar’s published appliance plans sit roughly between $40 and $700 a year depending on the box size and plan, charged per PBX rather than per user. For the cloud edition that most SMEs choose, expect a per-user, per-month figure in the same ballpark as other hosted SA cloud PBX seats, plus your SIP trunk or call bundle, numbers and any AI transcription add-on. The partner’s hosting and support is where quotes diverge most.
Our verdict
Yeastar is a well-established platform with a flexible licensing model, which is exactly why a single price does not exist. The cloud edition suits most SMEs on a per-user monthly basis, the appliance edition fits fixed on-site headcounts, and the plan tier sets your feature ceiling. The variable that moves the quote most is the partner.
