Bondix and Speedify both do Starlink bonding: they use Starlink and other internet connections, like 4G/5G cellular, at the same time, as one faster and steadier internet connection. Bondix, made by S.A.NE, is a client you install on a supported router or Linux device, and you can run the Bondix server yourself. Speedify is an app for phones, laptops and routers that works with Speedify’s own servers out of the box, and adds Speedify Self-Hosted Servers if you want your traffic on your own servers.
Below: how each one works, what each costs, a side-by-side table, and which Speedify setup fits a business looking at Bondix. To talk through your own sites, contact the Speedify team.

How Speedify Combines Starlink with Other Internet Connections on Any Device
Speedify sends your internet traffic over every internet connection you have at the same time: Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, Ethernet, Starlink and satellite. Speedify’s servers around the world put the pieces back together, so a single file transfer or video stream gets nearly the full speed of all your internet connections combined. If one internet connection drops, Speedify moves your traffic to the others automatically.
Speedify needs at least two internet connections to do this. With one Starlink dish and nothing else, it can’t add speed or stop drops.
Speedify runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, and on supported OpenWrt routers. A laptop at a remote office or a phone in the field can use Starlink and cellular together with nothing in between, so there’s no router model to choose, buy and look after at every location.
Speedify also has two tools made for Starlink. Speedify’s Starlink Control Center shows each Starlink dish’s live status, speed, ping, obstructions, uptime and alerts, for several Starlink dishes at once. Speedify’s cellular sharing lets people on the same Wi-Fi pair their phones, so everyone’s 4G/5G cellular data becomes extra internet connections for the group.
Bondix vs. Speedify on Price and Self-Hosted Servers
Bondix can reuse routers you already own, which keeps the hardware cost low if those routers are supported. The trade-off is that your team installs and looks after the Bondix client and, if you self-host, the Bondix server too. For a Bondix price, ask S.A.NE for a quote.
Speedify is a subscription with no hardware to buy: Speedify Teams costs $89.99 per user per year, with a 5-user minimum. Speedify Self-Hosted Servers, which run Speedify’s server side on your own servers, are an add-on on any plan.

Which Speedify Setup Fits a Business Looking at Bondix
A business comparing Bondix is usually weighing cost against the work of running it. The Speedify setup that answers that is the Speedify app on the devices that need a steadier internet connection, with no router in the picture at all.
If you want the same control over your data as a self-hosted Bondix server, add Speedify Self-Hosted Servers to any plan. If a site really does need one router for the whole network, a Powered by Speedify router on OpenWrt, GL.iNet or Miri hardware works the way Bondix does, while the Speedify app stays available everywhere else. See the list of supported routers.

The Bottom Line on Speedify vs. Bondix for Starlink
Bondix suits a business that already runs supported routers and is happy to look after the client and the server. Speedify uses Starlink together with your other internet connections on the laptops and phones themselves, with a router as an option rather than a requirement, and adds Starlink dish status and cellular sharing. For a business that wants a steadier Starlink internet connection without committing to one router platform, Speedify makes your internet faster, more reliable, and more secure.
