Comparison
Hubsoft vs. Controllr: your own server or managed infrastructure?
Hubsoft and Controllr, from BrByte, are two systems for internet service providers (ISPs). Here, we compare what each one publicly documents, criterion by criterion, with source and date.
Quick answer
Controllr runs only on the provider’s server, using its own FreeBSD system and a per-server license. Backup is configured by the provider, and implementation and data import are charged separately. Hubsoft runs locally or in the cloud, with a server managed by Hubsoft, managed and included backup, and standard remote implementation.
How this comparison was made: Each line about Controllr comes from the provider's own public documentation, consulted on 10/09/2026, and the sources are listed at the end of the page. Where the provider does not publish the information, we write "not publicly disclosed." There are no scores, rankings, or opinions about quality: only what each provider documents.

How it works at Hubsoft
- Managed infrastructure: The on-premises or cloud server is delivered with Hubsoft's own ISO and managed by the Hubsoft team: firewall, certificates, monitoring, and updates. The provider does not need to maintain an infrastructure team for the ERP.
- Backup included: Automatic daily copy to the Hubsoft cloud, regardless of where the server is located. Replication server option for those who want fast failover.
- Always on the current version: System updates are applied by Hubsoft, with a public changelog.
- License based on active services: No charges per user, simultaneous access, module, or integration. Everything the provider needs to operate is native and included: customers, service and work orders, finance, inventory, networks, FTTH mapping, CRM, invoicing, BI and dashboards, Hubsoft App (technician and sales rep), and the web Subscriber Portal. Optional products, contracted as needed (Expand your operation): Customer App with the provider's brand, HubIA, Dynamic Automation, HubFrotas, Neutral Network, and Resale.
- Open API: Public documentation, OAuth, and published request limits, with no integration fee. More than 250 systems integrated, including OLTs, ACS, messaging, mapping, banks, MVNO, and SVA.
What Controllr documents and Hubsoft does not have
- Native NFS-e; in Hubsoft, NFS-e is handled through dedicated integrations.

Questions about migrating from Controllr to Hubsoft
Can you migrate from Controllr to Hubsoft without interrupting operations?
With minimal impact. During preparation, our team performs a test migration and validates the data with the customer before scheduling the final cutover. Until then, the internet service provider (ISP) continues using its current system without changing anything in its operations, and has time to review the data and train its team on the new system. The final migration is typically performed after 7 p.m., or at another time agreed upon with the customer, depending on the operation’s size and specific requirements. For providers with up to 30,000 subscribers, it usually takes up to 12 hours, and the customer starts using Hubsoft at 8 a.m. the following day. After going live, the internet service provider (ISP) receives up to 10 business days of specialized support, with a dedicated migration team to support the transition and help identify and correct any inconsistencies. For providers that prefer to migrate over the weekend, Hubsoft also offers specific packages. Talk to a consultant to learn about the terms.
Does Hubsoft charge per user?
No. Hubsoft’s license is based on the size of the active-services base, with no charge per user, simultaneous access, or integration. Additional modules and services, such as the Customer App with the provider’s branding, are contracted separately.
