A closer look at what broadband businesses use in Splynx every day.

Your network in one place

Monitor devices with SNMP and ping, build network weather maps, manage IPv4 and IPv6 address space, apply fair-usage rules and block non-paying customers automatically. If a device goes down, the responsible admins get an alert in the portal, by email or by SMS.

Equip your field technicians

Create a task directly from a support ticket. Technicians get their tasks, calendar and a task map in the Splynx Field Service app, work through checklists, add attachments, link equipment from inventory and collect customer signatures on site.

CRM from first lead to signed contract

Splynx manages the entire subscriber lifecycle, from lead capture through pipeline stages to signed contract: lead management with custom stages, an online sign-up flow for your website, quotes, contract signing and WhatsApp ticketing, so your sales and support teams work from one system.

Bill subscribers on every continent

Splynx integrates with 17+ payment gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless, Safaricom M-PESA, Paystack, PayFast and Moneris, plus accounting sync with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite and Zoho. Prepaid, usage-based and VoIP charges can go on one invoice.

How does Splynx pricing compare with BillMax?

BillMax publishes its prices on its website: "For customers 2500 accounts and under our base price averages out to 20 cents per account" (15 cents for 2501–7000 accounts, 12 cents for 7001–10000); optional modules and hosting are priced separately (hosting "begins at $300/monthly") (checked October 2026). Splynx costs $255 per month for up to 400 active subscribers ($220 license + $35 maintenance fee, which includes Splynx cloud hosting); the license grows in steps of 100 subscribers, and paying yearly takes 10% off the license. Pricing units differ (BillMax prices a base lease per account and sells modules and hosting separately; Splynx counts active subscribers and includes all features and hosting), so compare the total for your subscriber count and the features you need in the Splynx pricing calculator.

Can I migrate from BillMax to Splynx?

Yes. Splynx imports data from CSV and Excel files and directly from several billing platforms, and the Splynx team can also migrate data via API or scripts. Deployment and migration assistance is included in the license, with a deployment manager to plan the move. See how migration to Splynx works.

Paid add-ons are accounting add-ons, Huawei OLT GPON, the ACS server (TR-069) and Whalebone Peacemaker. Details and prices are on the pricing page.

Does Splynx support AI and MCP?

Yes. Splynx 6.0 introduced Splynx AI, which brings AI-assisted text actions and similar-ticket suggestions to support workflows, and the Splynx MCP Server, which allows AI assistants to securely access Splynx data through the Model Context Protocol. Both are included in the license.

Can I host Splynx on my own server?

Yes. By default Splynx runs on Splynx cloud hosting, which is included in the license. You can also host Splynx on your own server: the support team handles software issues, while the server itself is your responsibility. See the cloud and on-premise server policy.
