There will be an unprecedented ten billing vendors at WISPAPalooza this year. Wow! That's a lot of choices for a WISP to sort through. +

I put together a concise comparison highlighting the differences between different billing systems. I tried hard not to make a useless advertisement with a long list of features, but rather a digestable, fair comparison of relevant information about the competition. -

I put together a concise comparison highlighting the differences between different billing systems. Looking for something hosted in the cloud or on-premise? Looking for an established company, or a new entriant? Prefer dealing with small vendors, or large ones? This should help you narrow things down. I tried hard not to make a useless advertisement with a long list of features, but rather a digestable, fair comparison of relevant information about the competition. +

Of course I hope you'll consider Freeside, but I know we're not the right fit for everyone. These eleven vendors support WISPA through association membership and trade show sponsorshop. Please consider supporting vendors who support our industry. -

I hope this helps you find the right billing vendor for you!

P.S. Friends don't let friends use Quickbooks for subscriber billing. :) @@ -31,24 +31,24 @@ Freeside Internet Services, Inc.
