vs ViciBox Hosted
ViciBox vs managed VICIdial on VICIfast. Same VICIdial, no sysadmin tax. Honest comparison of speed, dashboard, pricing, and the migration path.
It is still VICIdial. Same /vicidial/admin.php, same agent screen, same hot keys, same campaign IDs. The difference is who runs the box.
ViciBox Hosted is the longest-running managed VICIdial provider, and it works. If you have been on it for years and nothing hurts, stay. This page is for the operator who is tired of the 3am pager or the "email a tech, wait for the ticket" loop.

Where ViciBox wins
- Years of operator hours: they have been running this since the early 2010s. Tribal knowledge matters when something weird breaks at 2am.
- Custom hardware appliance setups for legacy integrations (e.g. T1/E1 cards). We do not — we are pure cloud.
Where VICIfast wins
- Speed: under 60 seconds vs 30–60 min. You can demo on a live sales call.
- It is a real product: dashboard with audit log, sub-users, role-based access, public status. Configure a trunk with a form, not an SSH session.
- Per-trunk TCPA scrubbing: bring your own Blacklist Alliance API key, set the mode per outbound trunk, ship.
- Recorded SSH sessions: every SSH session into the box is captured as a replayable asciinema cast. Audit-ready out of the box.
- Pricing transparency: published plan grid. ViciBox quotes you.
- USDT payments: we accept it. ViciBox does not.
- Free trial: 7 days, no card. ViciBox wants commitment up front.
Migration path
We move your existing ViciBox setup in 30 minutes. Same VICIdial version, same campaigns, same lead IDs, same recordings, same agent logins. The cutover is one DNS flip + one carrier-IP update — that is it.
When to pick ViciBox
If you have a multi-year relationship with their support team and a custom hardware setup that ties you to their appliance, stay where you are. The switching cost is not worth it for you.
When to pick VICIfast
For everything else — especially if you are starting fresh, scaling fast, want a real dashboard, or are sick of opening tickets to do basic things like add a trunk or rotate an SSH key.
