[Ask us on Discord](https://discord.com/invite/kqysRthsMG) ### Is NexoVirt a VirtFusion alternative? For hosters who run or want to run Proxmox VE, yes. Both are VPS control panels for hosting providers. VirtFusion installs its own stack on each hypervisor for KVM virtual machines; NexoVirt runs on Proxmox VE nodes with KVM VMs and LXC containers and adds its own shop and billing. ### How do the prices compare? On 5 Nov 2026 VirtFusion listed commercial licences per hypervisor per month: $1.50 for 1 server, $10 for 5, $15 for 35 and $18 for unlimited servers, with billing through a separate system. NexoVirt is priced per install by node count: EUR 29 a month for 5 nodes, EUR 79 for 20 nodes with the shop, EUR 149 for unlimited nodes, incl. VAT. ### Does NexoVirt run on my VirtFusion hypervisors? No. NexoVirt needs Proxmox VE on the node. VirtFusion's docs say VirtFusion should be the only application on its hypervisors, so the usual path is a Proxmox node next to them. ### Do I need WHMCS or Blesta with NexoVirt? No. The shop, Stripe and PayPal payments, prepaid balances, VAT invoices, renewals and suspension are built in (Business and Unlimited). If you prefer to keep a billing system, it can drive NexoVirt through the REST API; there is no ready-made module. ### Is there a free version of NexoVirt? Yes. The Community Edition is free and self-hosted on 2 nodes with unlimited VMs, without the shop. ### Can I sell more than VPS? Yes. Service products provision web hosting on Plesk and HestiaCP and game servers on Pterodactyl and Pelican from the same shop. ## Related pages - [ Convoy alternative Another Proxmox panel compared. ](https://nexovirt.com/convoy-alternative) - [ Virtualizor alternative NexoVirt vs Virtualizor. ](https://nexovirt.com/proxmox-virtualizor-alternative) - [ SolusVM alternative NexoVirt vs SolusVM. ](https://nexovirt.com/proxmox-solusvm-alternative) - [ VPS control panel What you and your customers can do with each VPS. ](https://nexovirt.com/vps-control-panel) - [ Pricing Flat prices by node, never by VM. ](https://nexovirt.com/pricing) - [ Cloud-init on Proxmox Ready-to-use VPS on the first boot. ](https://nexovirt.com/blog/cloud-init-on-proxmox) ![A VPS detail page in NexoVirt with power controls and usage](https://nexovirt.com/assets/img/screenshots/guest-detail-dark.webp?v=1793892600) ## Try NexoVirt on your Proxmox nodes The VPS panel, shop, invoices and modules for 14 days.
