Profiles, users and limitations — from User Manager to plan-based billing with payment collection and multi-router management.
DataRadius is ISP billing and management software that connects to MikroTik routers, collects payments through mobile money, cards and local providers, and manages subscribers, fiber and field teams from one workspace. MikroTik User Manager is the built-in RADIUS server and hotspot management tool included with RouterOS, handling authentication and user profiles on a single router.

User Manager stores profiles and users on the router itself. DataRadius reads the existing configuration and creates matching records.
Most operators finish in a few days. User Manager networks are typically small enough that the entire migration runs in one session.
Connect your router
Add your MikroTik router to DataRadius. The connection is established without interrupting active users.
Create plans
Recreate your User Manager profiles as DataRadius plans with matching speeds, data limits and pricing.
Import users
Export users from User Manager as CSV or let DataRadius read the router's user list. Map users to plans.
Switch authentication
Point the router's RADIUS to DataRadius. Existing sessions continue; new sessions authenticate through DataRadius.
User Manager works well for simple setups. Consider staying if these describe your situation.
DataRadius handles authentication externally via RADIUS. User Manager can be disabled once DataRadius is managing your users.
No. DataRadius connects to your router over a secure outbound connection. It works behind NAT, 4G and satellite links.
Yes. DataRadius manages all your MikroTik routers from one workspace, unlike User Manager which is per-router.
Active sessions continue. New sessions authenticate through DataRadius once the RADIUS target is updated.
User Manager is included with RouterOS at no extra cost. DataRadius charges per active subscriber. The value comes from payment collection, reporting and multi-router management.
