Hosted, not on-prem
No local database, no patching, no backups to babysit. ISPbox is delivered as a managed cloud platform with continuous updates.
Platypus Alternative
Move off legacy Platypus billing to a modern hosted ISPbox.
Platypus has billed ISPs for decades, but an aging on-prem stack means servers to maintain, slow changes, and a dated operator experience. ISPbox runs the same core billing and subscriber workflows as a continuously updated SaaS.
Why ISPs move from Platypus to ISPbox
Operators want fewer servers to maintain, faster changes, and a UI their team actually enjoys using.
Modern operator UI
Replace dated screens with a clean, role-based interface built for day-to-day billing and support work.
Billing history comes with you
Guided imports carry clients, services, invoices and balances across so you keep continuity from your Platypus data.
Side-by-side with Platypus
The differences that matter during migration and in daily operations.
| Focus area | ISPbox | Platypus |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment model | Fully hosted SaaS with continuous updates and zero server upkeep. | Legacy on-prem install that needs its own server, database and backups. |
| Provisioning | Native MikroTik and RADIUS provisioning that suspends and restores with billing. | Provisioning often bolted on or handled by external scripts. |
| Operator experience | Modern web UI with role-based access, automation and a customer portal. | Dated interface with a steeper learning curve for new staff. |
