Chargebee is much better in terms of clean intuitive product features, inbuilt analytics, and implementation support. Zoho has so many products and their focus is not their billing product. But they give free trials and you need to pay per licence only if you scale. overall, I …
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. I wish chargebee look at the pricing at least for developing countries like India.

We looked at Stripe for a while, just based off of previous knowledge and awareness of the system. Chargebee's design and interface stood out against other SaaS platforms and the integration you have while using it is a must have. Maximizing revenue was a focal point and the …

One of the easiest and cheapest way in order to work on the separate billing system which includes sales in the production also maintains in order to collect payments from different payment gateway which is one of the easiest task in the beginning for the procedure and provide …

Chargebee was our best option with Shopify being used for orders. I miss Chargify, but that only works well with Wordpress.

Recharge was problematic in the past, but they may be better now. Chargebee allows us to make our own bulk edits to subs, while Recharge required …

Chargebee stands out among other service providers because of its user-friendly interface and accessibility. The documentation is also very extensive and gives developers a lot of options. It connects all of our client billing information into our database, which our sales …
Chose Chargebee
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 …

The major reason to go with chargebee is its costing as compared to its competitors it is much useful and value for money.Also it has many features that is very practical and efficient to use it.I recommend to the people who involves low costing as well as futuristic features.
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.
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 …
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 …
Chose Chargebee
I considered using WooCommerce, cart66, Sam cart, Shopify, big commerce, and a few others I can't recall at the moment. Each one of those options had either limiting abilities to create flexible plans or required expensive add-ons that would make it the timeline to …

It was too troublesome to use Stripe. Connecting Stripe to Chargebee was so much easier and the invoices were exactly how I wanted them to be. It was just easier to organize all your plans in Chargebee, and I loved the numerous type of emails you could send out to …

A strong balance between flexibility and simplicity -- Chargebee has proved to be a product that is well liked across the organization, and from a technical standpoint does not present too many hiccups for our developers. We also feel the pricepoint is good in a market which …

I've used them all and most of them are either: Too expensive (charging high %) Awful products (not enough features or bad UI/UX)
Chose Chargebee
Chargebee's price per feature set beat out Recurly, it's the closest competitor that we evaluated. Its automated subscription billing was a core feature over Xero (our accounting and invoicing system, which we still use in tandem with Chargebee). Stripe's new features that just …
Chose Chargebee
Launch plan, Support, API's - everything was amazing for Chargebee. So much that we never really evaluated Chargify.
Chose Chargebee
Honestly I didn't look into recurly much, nor have I used them because it was a lot more expensive (for an early stage startup like ours was when we started using it). At least as far as I recall, they could have changed their pricing structure but they don't list their pricing …

Quickbooks is well suited for small businesses and projects, and program-level billing is not built into it. Whereas Concur SAP product is very efficient for Enterprise billing but complex to use and not fit for small businesses.
Chose InvoiceBerry
I prefer to use Xero as this works better for my small business and my accountant is aware of how to use the software, but InvoiceBerry is also very beneficial for its invoice generation functionality. I would use InvoiceBerry if my business needed to generate many invoices but …

It is much cheaper and InvoiceBerry is for very very small businesses. QuickBooks is simple but they keep upgrading their software now it is nice but the features can be challenging to learn and use so again, once the business o the size of the company gets bigger, QuickBooks …

Very comparable with this product. Online invoicing software has helped our small business and InvoiceBerry works well with QuickBooks.

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.

  • The support is often long to get.
  • Reporting could be better and more sophisticated but the software is very cheap so it is probably normal.
  • Some options could be added to the very basic design that we get.

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.

Support Rating
Chargebee is simple to use, and we have had little need for support.
Read full review
I have not used support too often but when I did, it was a big long to get the support I needed. But this is probably related to the cost we pay in general for the tool, it is a way of maintaining a very low cost by having fewer people to provide support. But the tool is so simple that we don't really have much support anyway. For our business, the cost is the first criteria so it is ok if support is not excellent.

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.

It is much cheaper and InvoiceBerry is for very very small businesses. QuickBooks is simple but they keep upgrading their software now it is nice but the features can be challenging to learn and use so again, once the business o the size of the company gets bigger, QuickBooks might definitely be a better fit but as a small firm, Invoice Berry is perfect. The cost is a huge component for us so we liked it better at the moment.

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.
