I need to purchase client manage/billing script asap.
I want to hear which one do you recommend.
If you recommend other scripts, please post the script and url.

I'd have to cast my vote for MB.

I'm sorry, I didn't know I couldn't post that. I'll remember those rules so I don't get kicked off. Once again, very sorry, please forgive me, it will not happen again. Thank you for understanding..

I have used both and I would say that Ubersmith is DEFINATELY more STABLE. ModernBill is relatively new and has quite a lot of minor bugs...

Their incorrect pro-rated bug caused me nearly $1,000 in lost revenues... I got the fix a few weeks later..

The support with ModernBill is excellent though.. live tech support :)

Modernbill has more features but just lots of minor bugs.. which the developer tries to fix ASAP...

Actually, we been using it for a while now, one of our php programmers is modifying it to work for what we need (colo and dedicated) .. I personally tested Ubersmith before making a decision and I just didn't like it :)

I vote for MB. I much prefer the software to be mine to alter as I see fit, and I agree that support is very good. They at MB are responsive and are steadily working on the wish list.

Being in software development, minor bugs are inevitable. I would rather have no bugs at all, but the old question remains: Do you want 98% now, or 100% sometime in the future (with no new features)?

I hope I am not breaking any rules by doing this but take a look at http://phpmanager.taysoft.com/ . I have purchased it and am very pleased with it. Has a built-in Ticket System , Billing Functions and account creation using WHM/CPanel. Very cool guys......................But this is just my opion...ya know

Good Luck

If you have to chose between the two, I'd say ModernBill simply because Ubersmith is really expensive unless you have tons of clients. I am personally taking the route of developing my own (which I'm making free/open source @ phpisp.int0r.net... hope this isn't breaking any rules ;)) so that I can incorperate the features that I need and save a ton of cash I don't have.

MB- you get more, and you pay less. A LOT less.

And, as of yesterday, most of the bugs are worked out.

They both look really nice, but I like MB better because you actually own the software.

I've heard you can buy Ubersmith, I may be wrong but I think it costs $1,600 outright?

MB to me is just much more flexible because you get the source and can alter it just the way you need it to work. I wish it had more integration capabilities with Control Panels, but you can't be all things...

I wonder if they are planning to integrate MB with PLESK. :D

Yes there are future plans to integrate MBill with Plesk, CPanel, and OpenSRS but no ETA on when
