Clientexec or WHMCS - what do you prefer

[VeloxMedia]

Hello all,

What do you prefer using, WHMCS or Clentexec, the price rises with WHMCS and account caps are certainly not ideal, I prefer it because I have always used it but interested to hear your views on Clientexec.

Recently switched from Clientexec to another solution, not WHMCS. It was a painstaking move, as much as developers try to create migration tools for you, it's impossible to make them work for all use cases but worth it. Unfortunately we had too many bugs with Clientexec, most were fixed by adhoc patches on our system but what ultimately swayed our decision was it took over a week to get an initial response on a ticket. The system also seemed to be slow on the client side too, which didn't give a good impression to new customers.

Oh that doesn’t sound good at all.

What system are you using now?

Blesta. Frequent updates, amazing support and it's mostly open code so we've changed a couple of things to help our workflow.

Oh that sounds good, haven't tried it personally but have heard it's not too bad.

Glad you're liking it.

WHMCS has been our go-to for a while, and I appreciate its familiarity, but those price hikes and account limits can be frustrating. I'm open to exploring Clientexec, especially if it offers better flexibility and pricing.

To anyone starting fresh - I suggest avoiding WHMCS, With many pricing hikes and account limits. It’s worth noting that WHMCS was acquired by cPanel (both now under WebPros), and since then, they’ve implemented significant price increases without clear rules or limits.

Unfortunately, they’ve also stopped honoring the perpetual licenses they once sold, which has understandably caused dissatisfaction among long-time users.

Exploring Clientexec or other options could be a smart move—it’s known for offering more predictable pricing and flexibility.

Hope it helps!
