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. 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.

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. -
