FAQ

Questions about SkyBase as a Sonar alternative

Is SkyBase a Sonar alternative?

SkyBase is an option for MikroTik ISPs evaluating customer management, billing, and service operations. Compare your required workflows and integrations before deciding whether to move.

Is SkyBase a replacement for every Sonar feature?

No. Check your required integrations, dispatch workflows, reporting, and payment services individually. We will review your requirements before recommending a move.

Can my Sonar history and payment setup move with me?

That needs a migration review. Export formats, historical records, payment tokens, and integrations need separate checks. We do not promise a complete transfer before testing a sample.
