Convoy alternative FAQ
Is NexoVirt a Convoy alternative?
Yes. Both are control panels on top of Proxmox VE with a customer panel. Convoy connects to a billing system such as Blesta or Paymenter; NexoVirt has its own shop, payments and invoices and also provisions web hosting and game servers.
How do the prices compare?
On 5 Nov 2026 Convoy listed $6 per node per month for commercial use and free use for personal and nonprofit setups. NexoVirt costs EUR 29 a month for 5 nodes, EUR 79 for 20 nodes with the shop and EUR 149 for unlimited nodes, incl. VAT; the Community Edition is free on 2 nodes for any use.
Can I keep my VMs when I move from Convoy?
Yes. NexoVirt adopts running VMs on your Proxmox nodes without a reinstall or a migration. You then assign each server to its customer.
Does NexoVirt work with Blesta or Paymenter?
There is no ready-made module. Any billing system can drive NexoVirt through the REST API and send customers into the portal with one-time login links. Most hosters use the built-in shop instead.
Is NexoVirt open source?
No. The panel is closed source; the node agent that runs on each Proxmox node is public under the MIT licence. Convoy publishes its source on GitHub under its own licence agreement.
Does NexoVirt support LXC containers?
Yes. NexoVirt manages KVM virtual machines and LXC containers on Proxmox VE, including one-click LXC apps.
