SipLine vs Bria — Enterprise Power, Without the Price Tag
Bria is the enterprise standard — but at $35–119/year per user, it adds up fast. SipLine delivers comparable enterprise features with a Plugin SDK, transparent pricing, and a genuinely free tier.
Why Choose SipLine over Bria?
Dramatically Lower Cost
Bria Solo starts at $35/year per user. Bria Teams Pro reaches $119/year per seat. SipLine Community is free, and Pro plans cost a fraction of Bria's pricing — with no per-user inflation at scale.
Open Plugin SDK
Bria has no plugin system. Want a custom CRM integration? You wait for CounterPath to build it. SipLine's C# Plugin SDK puts you in control — build exactly what your business needs.
No Vendor Lock-In
Bria Enterprise requires CounterPath's provisioning server. SipLine works with any SIP-compliant PBX — FreePBX, Asterisk, 3CX, or any hosted provider.
A Real Free Tier
Bria offers no free version — only a time-limited trial. SipLine Community is free forever with TLS/SRTP encryption, Opus codec, and 2 SIP accounts.
