Overview
Nexmo was acquired by Vonage in 2016 and rebranded as Vonage Communications APIs in 2020. The Nexmo name is essentially retired as a product brand, though it persists in older documentation and in some legacy customer contracts. Buyers researching Nexmo today should evaluate the current Vonage offering — the underlying platform is the same.
Where Nexmo APIs is strong
- Identical platform to Vonage Communications APIs
- Established developer documentation under the legacy brand
Where to be careful
- Brand is retired; future product development is published under Vonage
- Documentation increasingly redirects to Vonage's site
Best fit
Existing customers maintaining legacy Nexmo integrations. New evaluations should look at Vonage directly.
