Automation built in
Invoicing, reminders, dunning and provisioning run automatically, no desktop tools or custom scripts to babysit.
VS
VISP
Replace legacy VISP workflows with a modern, cloud-native ISPbox.
VISP served the first generation of ISPs, but teams now need faster activation, real automation and native mobile apps. ISPbox modernises the same billing and subscriber workflows as a continuously updated SaaS, with provisioning and monitoring built in.

What it costs to start
Both platforms bill per subscriber - the difference is the floor. VISP's minimum is $250 a month; ISPbox starts at $25 and tracks your actual count.
VISP
$250/mo
Monthly minimum covering the first 192 subscribers - the floor whether you have 20 or 190.
ISPbox
$25/mo
Monthly minimum with billing, provisioning, monitoring and apps included. The 192 subscribers VISP's floor covers cost about $110 on ISPbox.
Around $2,700 a year of difference for a small ISP at the entry point.

Why modern ISPs move from VISP to ISPbox
Less maintenance, more automation, and tooling your team actually enjoys.
Predictable SaaS pricing
Start at $25/month and pay per subscriber as you grow - published rates instead of stacked support contracts.
Field and subscriber apps
Native ISPbox Field and subscriber apps put agendas, tickets and self-service in everyone's pocket.
AI
Built-in MCP server
Your ISP panel now speaks AI. VISP 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.
