How we compare
Most billing systems stop at invoices and a RADIUS server. ISPman bills PPPoE, hotspot and fixed-IP subscribers, drives the routers underneath them, monitors the OLTs and ONTs behind those, takes money on 17 payment rails, and runs authentication and accounting as separate tiers that scale on their own.
Not a billing panel with add-ons bolted to it — one system, one login, one database of record.
In Kenya, all three Safaricom methods — Paybill, bank paybill and Till Number. Beyond it, 13 more providers across Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, Nigeria and Somalia. Scope a provider to one town, or bring your own over a webhook.
More than one cloud, more than one region, so one provider's bad afternoon is not your outage — and subscriber data stays in the jurisdiction you operate in. Routers reach us over WireGuard, which costs your NAS far less than a legacy VPN.
Traffic reporting is handled clear of the path that gets subscribers online, so a busy evening — or a thousand reconnections after an outage — cannot leave somebody waiting at a captive portal.
Each page says what that product is, in its own published words, and what you would be moving to. We do not claim anything about a competitor that they have not documented themselves.
Built for African mobile money, not adapted to it
Splynx is an ISP billing and network management platform from the Czech Republic, aimed at small and medium ISPs and WISPs. It covers billing, payment processing, network and equipment monitoring, hotspot billing and client portals, and lists 40+ integrations including an official Safaricom M-PESA add-on.
Multi-cloud infrastructure, in the region you operate in
Centipid is a Kenyan ISP billing system covering PPPoE accounts and hotspot vouchers, with M-Pesa through Daraja, MikroTik RADIUS setup and a brandable client portal. Its own blog describes cloud billing that runs without a local server; it publishes no technical detail on tenancy, uptime or how it scales.
Authentication and accounting that never queue behind each other
XenFi markets itself as an all-in-one hotspot billing, PPPoE billing and ISP automation platform with ISPs across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. It describes a single cloud RADIUS billing core that handles authentication for every session, and supports MikroTik, Ruijie, Omada and UniFi hardware.
Authentication and accounting that never queue behind each other
Lipanet is a Kenyan ISP billing platform automating M-Pesa billing, MikroTik sync, RADIUS authentication and hotspot portals. Its pricing page sells a shared-cloud tier and a dedicated-server tier, the latter pitched at ISPs that want the most performance with no server resources shared with other customers.
Authentication and accounting that never queue behind each other
OneISP is an ISP billing system operating out of Nairobi. It publishes very little beyond its application, so an operator comparing it is mostly going on a demo — which makes the questions below worth asking out loud.
Authentication and accounting that never queue behind each other
Xceednet is a cloud ISP billing and bandwidth management platform for Kenyan ISPs, hosted on AWS. It markets its RADIUS service as highly available, connects to MikroTik routers, and imports from an existing RADIUS server or a spreadsheet.
Authentication and accounting that never queue behind each other
Freeispradius is a Kenya-focused billing panel for MikroTik networks covering PPPoE, static IP and hotspot services, with M-Pesa STK Push, customer roaming, disconnection insights and WhatsApp notifications. Its site says it is free for ISPs and supports unlimited routers.
Authentication and accounting that never queue behind each other
BillNasi is a Kenyan hotspot and PPPoE billing system with M-Pesa integration, priced per active user with an enterprise tier covering hotspot, PPPoE and static packages.
Most ISP billing systems sold here charge a percentage of hotspot collections plus a per-subscriber fee on PPPoE, and most of them integrate M-Pesa and MikroTik. The questions that actually separate them are the ones nobody puts on a pricing page:
Ask them of us too. The answers are in our guides and in the product, not behind a sales call.
Onboard one MikroTik, import the subscribers off it, and take a real M-Pesa payment. That tells you more than any comparison table, including ours.
