24online is one of the best-known names in hotspot billing in India, and for many sites it is a sound choice. iberry is a different kind of product: a fully managed guest WiFi service rather than software you run yourself. This page sets out the differences plainly so you can decide which fits your property. Facts about 24online are as of November 2026, from its public website.
24online is a hotspot billing, bandwidth management and AAA product from Elitecore Technologies. Its website states 5,500+ installations, 80+ countries, 250+ channel partners and 4.5 million+ users (about 24online). It publishes pages for hotels, ISPs, airports, hospitals, malls, schools, transport and enterprises, and offers appliances, datasheets, user guides and case-study PDFs (sitemap). It is also listed in the Hotelogix marketplace (listing).
A large installed base across many countries and a long history in the market.
24online covers ISP and telecom use cases. iberry does not sell ISP or PPPoE subscriber billing, so if that is your main need, 24online is the better fit.
A wide partner network, useful if you want a local reseller to own the whole job.
Many published datasheets, quick-start guides and user manuals for teams that run the system themselves.
iberry sets up the gateway, the login page and the cloud, then watches and fixes it for you. Your staff do not need to learn a billing system. See managed WiFi for hotels.
iberry's India prices are on the website: ₹30,000, ₹50,000 or ₹99,000 one-time, plus ₹15,000 a year from the 2nd year (1st year included; ₹20,000 a year with DNS security and/or PMS integration). We did not find published prices on 24online's website when we checked. See pricing.
iberry runs on standard MikroTik routers (and works with TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti UniFi access points), not a proprietary appliance. See MikroTik remote management.
We run PMS logins with IDS Next, protel, Hotelogix and WinCloud today. Guests log in with their room number and surname, and access ends at checkout. See PMS WiFi integration.
Mobile OTP login and session records kept for the Indian rules (DoT and CERT-In). See WiFi log retention.
Support on WhatsApp and phone from our team in Mohali, with on-site engineers in North India and remote support everywhere else.

If you are thinking of moving, tell us what you run today: the hardware, how guests log in, your PMS and how many rooms. We will tell you before you commit what carries over and what does not. Usually the move means a MikroTik gateway at the site (your access points normally stay), a new branded login page, the same login methods your guests already know, and a cut-over planned for a quiet hour.
Proof of how we run sites over years is on our case studies page. Other comparisons: Antamedia alternative and the hotel WiFi software buyer's guide.
24online and Elitecore are names of their owners. This page is our own comparison, based on their public website on 7 November 2026; check 24onlinebilling.com for current details.
For hotels that want a managed service with published prices, MikroTik hardware, PMS room + surname login and Indian log retention, yes. For ISP and broadband billing, 24online is the better fit.
No. iberry is built for guest and staff WiFi - hotels, hostels, campuses, offices and venues - not for ISP subscriber billing.
