VS SAS4

SAS4 authenticates your users. ISPbox runs the whole ISP.

SAS4 (SAS Radius) is a popular RADIUS and reseller system, and many ISPs run their business on it. ISPbox keeps what SAS4 users rely on - managers with balances, prepaid expiry, per-reseller prices, cards - and adds hosted RADIUS, a customer portal with online payments, tickets, a network map and monitoring. It also imports your SAS4 backup.

01 What it costs

SAS4 sells a yearly license by user count and you provide the server. ISPbox is a hosted service priced per active subscriber. For RADIUS alone SAS4 costs less; ISPbox replaces the server and the other tools around it.

SAS4

$250-1,000/yr

Published license levels for 500 to 10,000 users, plus the server, its backups and the time to run it.

ISPbox

$25/mo

Hosted RADIUS, billing, reseller portal, customer portal, tickets, maps and monitoring. Per-subscriber pricing from a $25/month minimum.

Hotspot guests and vouchers are never counted as subscribers.

03 Where ISPbox goes further than SAS4

Your resellers keep working the way they do today. The difference is everything around them.

01

The reseller model you already use

Agents with wallets, sub-agents with their own prices, prepaid expiry dates, trials, free days, reward points, cards and selling on credit - modelled on how SAS4 ISPs actually work.

02

No server to keep alive

SAS4 runs on a server you buy, install, back up and license. ISPbox is hosted: RADIUS, database and backups are ours to run, and routers connect over WireGuard.

03

More than RADIUS

A customer portal with card payments, support tickets, a network map with coverage, outage incidents with customer notices, inventory and field work orders in the same system.

AI Built-in MCP server

Your ISP panel now speaks AI. SAS4 doesn't.

Every ISPbox workspace ships a built-in MCP server: connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor with one URL and let AI diagnose "why is this customer offline?", warn everyone behind a failing tower, read your LibreNMS/Zabbix alerts and run your billing reports - under each staff member's own permissions, with a full audit trail.

Why is John Smith offline?
diagnose-service(id: 4821)
Ridge Tower 3 is down since 06:12 - John and 46 others are affected, his billing is fine. Want me to notify them all?
04 Features that simplify daily work

Resellers, billing and the network in one place.

Everything ships with every ISPbox workspace, no module shopping required.

A phone-first reseller portal

A working list sorted by expiry, one-tap renewals from the wallet, cash receipts by WhatsApp.

Devices without typing MACs

New CPEs show up as discovered devices and are attached to a customer with one tap.

Traffic history kept

Daily usage from SAS4 comes along, so customers do not start from an empty chart.

05 Questions from SAS4 users
01 Can my resellers keep their balances and prices?
Yes. Each SAS4 manager becomes an agent with a wallet, the reseller tree is kept, and per-reseller buy and sell prices move to the matching packages.
02 Do my customers keep their expiry dates?
Yes. The import keeps each subscriber's expiry date and activation history, so nobody loses paid days on the move.
03 Can I move one reseller at a time?
Yes. The import can take one manager's customers at a time, so you can move in waves while SAS4 keeps serving everyone else.
04 Does ISPbox work in Arabic?
The agent portal, customer portal and all customer messages are available in Arabic and ten other languages, right to left where needed.
