If you buy IP based is about 30% more. Office expansions and additional users might sometimes require you buy additional PBX extension modules that are pricy. Cloud PBX do not require a physical management unit at your premises, it only requires a good stable internet connection. For about 4 phones you will need approximately 500 kbps upload speed. For this kind of system you will only need to pay to a cloud based PBX provider for the line and PBX system usage plus the cost of the phones you will use at your premises. The price varies from 24.99 to 50.00 /mo depending on the provider but the features you gain are as if you were to buy an enterprise level PBX system.
