Datagate vs Sonar

Both stand on billing and provisioning software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Sonar combines ISP billing, customer management, network operations, and field work with API access. It is a paid platform aimed at mid-sized broadband operators, with pricing tied to subscriber volume and contract terms.
