Chargebee is a subscription billing and revenue management platform for SaaS and AI companies. It automates recurring billing, invoicing, dunning and revenue recognition, with separate products for CPQ, RevRec, Growth and Receivables, and connects to 40+ payment gateways.
Chargebee supports token, credit, outcome and usage-based pricing as well as flat, tiered and seat-based plans, and you can build hybrid models from plans, add-ons and charges. Subscriptions can be paused, canceled, reactivated or extended, and lifecycle emails go out automatically. A self-serve portal lets customers manage their subscriptions, view invoices and update payment details. Chargebee calculates US sales tax, EU VAT and Australian GST automatically, and it lists offers that intercept cancellation attempts among its growth and retention features.
Chargebee also serves contract-based businesses whose revenue includes retainers, custom enterprise terms or negotiated pricing. You can set up annual prepays and monthly retainers, and assign custom payment terms to a customer or a single subscription. With its Salesforce integration, sales reps can start a new subscription or change an existing one right from a Salesforce opportunity. Reps can also attach a secure checkout or payment link to their quotes.
On the accounting side, Chargebee syncs customer records with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite and Sage Intacct while avoiding duplicates. CRM users can handle everything from quote to renewal within Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Zoho CRM, with data syncing both ways. Developers get client libraries, iOS and Android mobile SDKs, Laravel Cashier and Next.js starters. Hosted checkout is PCI-compliant and supports guest checkout and returning-user autofill, and the RevenueStory analytics tool adds dashboards, threshold alerts and a report builder.
Chargebee Billing’s Flow plan charges a monthly fee plus a percentage of the revenue you bill, with two options: one with no monthly fee and a higher percentage, and one with a monthly fee and a lower percentage. Enterprise pricing is custom, and RevRec and CPQ are quoted by sales. Current rates and the breakeven between the two options are in the pricing box above.
