Free Internet Cafe Software
Sometimes, when you see a demonstration version of a fully commercial Internet cafe software package, these packages are actually the full version of the software, only limited in terms of how many computer terminals you can manage with it. This way, if you manage a cybercafe with just a few computers, you can get a fully featured commercial cyber cafe management software for free. In addition to the demo versions, there are freeware available for managing an Internet cafe. If you decide to go for the commercial packages, there are several available. For example, these software packages include:
Some of the more sophisticated software packages charge a "per-station" rate. In any case, each product has its own strengths and weaknesses. Independent third parties such as the consulting company Stuff About Games (stuffaboutgames.com) make it their business to test each and every Internet cafe management software and can give you a comprehensive evaluation of which is best for your business.
