Xceednet is a cloud ISP subscriber and bandwidth management platform that ranks for ISP billing searches in Kenya. This comparison reports what Xceednet publishes on xceednet.com, read on 6 November 2026. It is reported, not endorsed.
Short answer: Xceednet does not publish prices: its pricing page offers customised pricing on request, with a free one-month trial. Iterative Billing publishes its Kenyan pricing: KSh 15 per active PPPoE or Static IP customer a month, capped at KSh 5,000 up to 500 customers and KSh 10,000 up to 1,000, plus 2 percent of collected hotspot revenue capped at KSh 3,000, with M-Pesa Paybill, Till and STK Push through Daraja built in. Xceednet's trial is longer; Iterative Billing's price is known before you call. We build Iterative Billing, so check both.
The two platforms at a glance
Xceednet describes cloud ISP billing and bandwidth management hosted on Amazon AWS that needs only a MikroTik router to start, with CRM, complaint handling with SMS updates, and a Wi-Fi hotspot solution with captive portals, vouchers and multi-location support. It says it is preferred by ISPs and hotspot operators across India, has pages for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana, Nepal and Bangladesh, and offers migration from any RADIUS database or Excel and CSV exports.
Iterative Billing is a cloud ISP billing and OSS/BSS platform with built-in FreeRADIUS and CoA, MikroTik RouterOS v6 and v7, Huawei GPON OLT automation, TR-069, NOC monitoring and AI agents. In Kenya it collects M-Pesa through Daraja, KopoKopo, Co-op Bank, SasaPay, Pesapal, Flutterwave and Paystack into the operator's own accounts, and offers KRA eTIMS invoicing in its Finance & Accounting add-on.

Payments in Kenya
Xceednet's Kenya pages, read on the same date, do not name M-Pesa or another Kenyan payment gateway, so ask Xceednet which collections it supports and how payments activate accounts. On Iterative Billing an M-Pesa payment is matched to the subscriber and the PPPoE or hotspot account is switched on automatically, typically within seconds.
Trials and moving over
Xceednet offers a free one-month trial, which is longer than Iterative Billing's 3-day trial for approved networks. Both offer migration help: Xceednet from RADIUS databases or spreadsheets, Iterative Billing through complimentary migration assistance and a CSV import of PPPoE customers with a preview step.
Which should you choose?
If you want a month to trial and are happy to negotiate a quote, Xceednet gives you that. If you want a published price and native M-Pesa, Iterative Billing costs KSh 5,000 a month at 500 customers and never more than KSh 10,000 up to 1,000.
