Looks like we are settling on Plat and IPPay.
I think I may have been IPPay’s first customer back in the day.
That was a Charles Wu production, right?

Yes, so far that is all we are looking for.

I'd also consider Billmax if you're looking for billing only. It's less
expensive because it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles.

We are current Plat customer (in one WISP, using Emerald in another -
they're both quite capable). In the Plat WISP, we're billing 6400 subs using
the free MSSQL license. No issues.

Our Plat install uses the Free MS SQL license. It has some kind of
limit on processor power or some such, but if Plat ever hit the limit I
couldn't tell.
.....I don't know if MS still has a free version though. Our Plat
install is OLD.

Sonar, that Plat had fixed that internally with an update.
But Chuck could verify that with them.
And yes, you will need to host it yourself, unless there is a third
party, or they have a recommended hosting third party.
I forget if they had that service or not, but you could ask them
about that too.
Otherwise I think it does need at least a VM with windows and some
form of MS SQL license…

I'd be careful of Plat if you want PCI compliance. In the systems
I've seen even within the last few months, they are still storing credit cards
in plain text in the DB.

I think Platypus is still free up to a certain number of active
customers.

We have exhausted all of our appeals, the only thing they will tell
us is that they don’t approve of our “products”. AKA internet service and that
they are happy for us to be a QB customer...
So, gonna get a stand alone billing system and just do a monthly
journal entry to move over the revenue.
Something cheap with the ability for the customer to pay with
cards. Anything free out there that makes their money from the merchant
percentage? I guess I don’t care if it is free, just the lowest overall cost
to the company.
Was platypus free? Used it for years at another company. I don’t
need any management of my network just simple recurring billing.
