Frequently asked questions
Both platforms help MSPs collect payments from clients, but they differ meaningfully in scope, pricing model, and what they're built on. Alternative Payments is a purpose-built MSP payment platform covering accounts receivable, accounts payable, and analytics in one subscription, with flat-rate pricing, free ACH, and built-in surcharging you can toggle per customer. ConnectBooster is an AR-focused tool built on third-party payment processors, with transaction fees on top of the platform cost. Alternative Payments also includes Collections Assist, where our team contacts your customers directly to recover unpaid invoices on your behalf. This is something ConnectBooster doesn't offer.
ConnectBooster's pricing requires a custom quote and runs on third-party processors, which means your transaction costs depend on rates set by a separate payment processor, not ConnectBooster itself. Alternative Payments uses flat, transparent subscription pricing with free ACH and straightforward credit card processing. There are no usage fees, no gateway fees, and no separate processor bills.
Yes. Alternative Payments migrates stored ACH and credit card payment methods from ConnectBooster in a PCI-compliant process, so your clients don't have to re-enter their payment details. Invoice history carries over through your PSA and accounting integrations. Email templates, reminder schedules, and autopay rules will need to be reconfigured in Alternative Payments, but our onboarding team handles the setup with you. Most MSPs are fully operational within a few days of starting the migration.
Yes. Alternative Payments integrates natively with ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, and SuperOps. It also integrates with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct, and other accounting platforms for bidirectional sync. Invoices pull in automatically and payment statuses update back across your tools without manual reconciliation.
Alternative Payments operates on T+3 payout timing. Funds are in your bank account 3 business days after a payment is captured. MSPs switching from ConnectBooster consistently report faster collection times overall, driven by higher autopay enrollment rates and a client portal that's easier for customers to use. Partners see an average 42% reduction in time to collect payments after switching.
