Running a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) comes with its fair share of challenges. Between managing network operations, keeping up with FCC regulations, and ensuring seamless customer experiences, costs often feel unpredictable and hard to manage. One of the biggest hurdles CLECs face today is staying compliant with STIR/SHAKEN — and unfortunately, many providers make it even more complicated with rigid pricing models, hidden fees, and confusing contracts.
At Peeringhub, we looked at this problem differently. Our mission was simple: make STIR/SHAKEN compliance affordable, scalable, and transparent for every CLEC, no matter the size. Here’s why our pricing model actually works — and why it might be the game-changer your business has been waiting for.
💡 The Real Problem with Traditional Pricing
When CLECs work with traditional providers, they often discover the fine print too late. What looks affordable at first becomes expensive and restrictive as you grow. Common issues include:
Contract Lock-Ins: Many providers tie CLECs into long-term agreements, restricting flexibility and growth.
Per-Certificate Fees: For every STI certificate you generate, you pay extra. This punishes CLECs that grow quickly or serve a large customer base.
Hidden Charges: Renewal fees, setup costs, and “premium” support add up, making it nearly impossible to predict expenses.
Slow Issuance Processes: Delays in certificate generation can block you from meeting FCC compliance deadlines.
In other words, instead of helping CLECs grow, traditional pricing models hold them back.
✅ How Peeringhub Solves the Problem
We wanted to build a pricing structure that actually helps CLECs — not one that makes compliance harder. That’s why Peeringhub’s pricing model is centered on three principles: simplicity, transparency, and scalability.
Here’s what you get:
Unlimited Certificates: Generate as many STI certificates as your network requires. Growth shouldn’t come with penalties.
Self-Service Portal: A simple, intuitive platform to request, manage, and issue certificates instantly. No waiting, no tickets.
No Contracts: Pay month-to-month or annually, with the freedom to scale or stop anytime.
Predictable Billing: Two clear options — $100/month or $500/year — with no hidden fees.
Free Expert Guidance: Consultation, 24/7 support, and ongoing compliance assistance are included at no additional cost.
This way, CLECs of all sizes know exactly what they’re paying for — and what they’re getting in return.
📊 Why It Works for CLECs at Every Stage
Peeringhub’s model isn’t just about being affordable — it’s about being adaptable. Whether you’re a startup or a large-scale carrier, our approach fits your needs.
🌱 Startups & Small CLECs
Low, predictable monthly costs make compliance affordable even with a tight budget.
Unlimited certificates mean you can grow customers without worrying about “per-certificate” fees stacking up.
📈 Mid-Sized CLECs
Scalability without added costs — as your customer base grows, you don’t pay extra for certificates.
More predictable expenses help with budget forecasting and smoother financial planning.
🏢 Large Enterprises
Unlimited issuance simplifies operations, especially when managing multiple routes, partners, or subsidiaries.
Enterprise-level support ensures 24/7 compliance readiness with fast issue resolution.
🚀 More Than Just Compliance
It’s easy to see STIR/SHAKEN as another regulatory box to check — but when done right, it becomes an advantage. With proper caller authentication in place, CLECs benefit from:
Stronger Customer Trust – Calls are less likely to be flagged as spam, improving answer rates.
Better Carrier Relationships – Upstream providers prefer compliant traffic, reducing the risk of blocks.
Operational Efficiency – Instant issuance means your compliance can keep pace with your business growth.
Reputation Protection – Staying ahead of regulations positions you as a responsible and reliable provider.
In short: compliance isn’t just about avoiding penalties. With Peeringhub’s approach, it’s about building trust, credibility, and growth opportunities for your CLEC.
🌐 The Bottom Line
Peeringhub’s pricing model is designed to remove complexity and encourage growth. By eliminating hidden fees, contract lock-ins, and per-certificate charges, we give CLECs of all sizes the freedom to focus on their business while staying fully compliant.
Why settle for outdated models that punish you for growing, when you can have unlimited certificates, instant issuance, and expert support at one flat, predictable cost?
