    Outgrown Mikhmon?

    Mikhmon is free, it works, and plenty of good hotspots run on it. It manages your router — it does not collect the money. Here is what changes when that half is automatic too.

    First, what Mikhmon gets right

    It is free, it installs on hardware you already own, and it turns RouterOS hotspot management into something you can actually use. For a single site where you are present to hand out codes, it is a sensible answer and we would not pretend otherwise. This page is about the point where that stops scaling.

    The gap is not features, it is the handover. Mikhmon makes the code. Getting money from a customer and getting that code into their hands is a human step, and it is the step that caps how much you can sell — because it only happens while you are there to do it.

    Where operators outgrow it

    Payment is still manual

    Mikhmon generates the code. Somebody still has to read the M-Pesa message, check the amount, and hand the code over. That person is usually you, and the job does not stop at 9pm.

    It runs somewhere you maintain

    A PC, a VPS or a Raspberry Pi at the site. When that machine is off, rebooted or on a bad connection, you cannot issue a code until it is back.

    One site at a time

    It is built around a router. Running three locations generally means three installs and three sets of numbers to add up by hand at month end.

    What changes on Jasiyo

    The customer pays themselves

    An M-Pesa prompt at the login page, and access opens when Safaricom confirms. No message to read, no code to hand over.

    Nothing to host

    No PC at the site, no VPS, no machine that has to stay switched on for you to make a sale.

    Every site in one place

    Several routers and locations under one account, with revenue separated per site, and no per-router licence.

    Codes when you still want them

    Printed batches and agent resale carry on exactly as before — vouchers do not go away, they stop being the only option.

    3% of hotspot revenue, KSh 1,000 monthly minimum, unlimited routers. See pricing →

    Common questions

    What is Mikhmon?
    A free, open-source hotspot manager for MikroTik routers. You install it yourself — on a PC, a small server or a Raspberry Pi — and it gives you a friendlier way to create hotspot users and generate voucher codes than RouterOS on its own. It is widely used and it does that job well.
    Is Jasiyo free like Mikhmon?
    No, and that is the honest trade. Mikhmon costs nothing to licence; Jasiyo is 3% of hotspot revenue with a KSh 1,000 monthly minimum. What you are buying is the half Mikhmon does not do: collecting the payment and opening access without a person in the middle. If that person is you and you have the time, Mikhmon is a reasonable place to stay.
    Can Mikhmon take M-Pesa payments?
    Not by itself. Mikhmon manages hotspot users and vouchers on the router; it is not a payment system. Operators usually bridge the gap manually — read the M-Pesa SMS, then issue the code — or pay a developer to build an integration and then maintain it.
    When is it worth moving?
    The usual trigger is volume rather than features. Handing out codes by hand is fine at ten customers a day and miserable at a hundred, and it caps you at the hours you are awake. The second trigger is a second location, where one install per site stops being manageable.
    Do I lose vouchers if I move?
    No. Printed codes and agent resale work the same way on Jasiyo — bulk generation, print, sell through a shop, with expiry handled for you. Mobile money is added alongside them, not instead of them.
    Do I need to change my router?
    No. Jasiyo works with the MikroTik you already run, on RouterOS 6 or 7, including routers behind CGNAT with no public IP. Existing configuration stays as it is.

    Keep the router. Drop the handover.

    Seven days free on the MikroTik you already run. If Mikhmon still fits your site better, you will know within a week.
