Those who offer enterprise solutions & cater to high end market are probably not going to be affected much by this as they will either eat the difference in costs themselves or easily pass it on to their clients by charging more. There is a good chance that they are already using a custom solution. But those who target budget (low end) market are going to be severely affected.

There are many in the budget market who already offer services at little to no profit in order to keep pushing the sales. There are may be less than 1% of hosts who are talented enough as developers or earn enough to afford a custom billing solution which performs minimal automation without all the bells & whistles present in mass used solutions. A vast majority consisting of sole proprietors & one man show companies will have to make the difficult decision of migrating to a competing solution

Blesta, Hostbill, WISECP, Clientexec & AWBS are some of the well known WHMCS alternatives available.

Which one out of those do you think will replace WHMCS?

Branded vs Unbranded license

Some software developers & vendors sell unbranded licenses at higher prices than branded ones. We witness in the hosting industry that this practice is common among billing automation software companies e.g WHMCS, Blesta, ClientExec, WISECP etc

Does it make any difference whether you get branded or unbranded license when you are getting the same features & functionality?

Would love to read opinions on this from everyone including hosting providers
