Abhideep Jain Manager Consultant - Business Development Chose Chargebee Chargebee is much better in terms of clean intuitive product features, inbuilt analytics, and implementation support.

Rithvik Podduturi Founder Chose Chargebee Yes, it is one of the payments gateways but they have so many features like recurring subscriptions, invoicing, and all at very very affordable prices and with great support.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Chargebee I was using just Authorize.Net for recurring billing. Chargebee is better for automatic emails, but that's it. Wish I would not have made this change. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Chargebee We evaluated Chargebee vs. Zuora and Stripe. Zuora has a lot of enterprise-level companies, so from an optics perspective is "safer", but we found their integration to be more difficult, their cost to be more expensive, their UI to be more complicated, and their APIs to be … Incentivized Helpful? Will Goad Sr Director of Implementation Chose Chargebee I believe that for monthly subscription payments, Chargebee is easier to navigate and use than SaaSoptics. That said, I believe it lacks some of the advanced functionality. While I’m not fully sure if that is the case, I think that maybe due to its goals being different. The … Incentivized Helpful? jeffrey samorano Owner/Founder Chose Chargebee I considered using WooCommerce, cart66, Sam cart, Shopify, big commerce, and a few others I can't recall at the moment.

Matt Heerema Owner & Director Chose Chargebee Chargebee's price per feature set beat out Recurly, it's the closest competitor that we evaluated.

Cons	[I feel] customer service never actually fixes any problems. They make you gather information they easily could, write up a big report of the problem, and then tell you why it's not working (usually not even correct). [In my experience] they never actually solve a problem. Not to mention, [in my experience] you can never speak with anyone immediately and coms turnaround is usually over 24 hours. So far, I can not get my customers to checkout online, even after hiring professional developers to help. [I believe] QBO sync is a mess. My account is set up to send payment tokens to Authorize.Net, and no matter how much I disable every possible security feature, I still have 100's of declined cards, that work perfectly well.

Usability	It's very easy to use once you know what you're doing. I found it very straight forward once I got the hang of things and was able to create plans easily for my business. I was also able to just charge my clients right away easily. Refunding was also easy when needed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Chargebee is simple to use, and we have had little need for support. Incentivized Will Goad Sr Director of Implementation Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Chargebee is a class apart from Zoho Books - better in all aspects - better interface, more functionalities, integrations that actually work, responsive support, customisable automated reporting, more customizability. The only difference is pricing - Zoho comes at about 10% of what Chargebee costs. So for startups looking to graduate from Google Sheets and on a budget - Zoho will serve your purposes - but eventually will have to move to something like a Chargebee.

Return on Investment	Chargebee has allowed us to focus on the most important part of our business: the product, instead of cumbersome development to manage subscriptions. The time ROI that it saved allowing us to get our product to market was invaluable. Chargebee also made sense financially. Paying the subscription was far cheaper than developing something similar (or even far inferior) ourselves Overall it's saved us quite a bit of time, money, and allows employees to easily manage subscriptions which is extremely important to us.
