Key Features

Quote-to-revenue billing
The complete reference to what Chargebee does: meter usage, quote deals, bill any pricing model, collect payments, recognize revenue, and grow it. Every module runs on one financial record.
Flexible pricing
Support token, credit, outcome, and usage-based pricing alongside flat, tiered, and seat-based plans. Redesign your pricing model without engineering dependency.
Prepaid credits
Sell credit packs upfront. Track drawdown in real time. Define rollover rules, overage rates, and overdraft caps. Everything's recorded in an audit-ready credit ledger.
Feature entitlements
Provision and revoke feature and model access in real time, governed against the same record as billing. No-code configuration, no engineering dependency.
Billing questions
Ask billing questions, surface churn signals, retrieve invoice data, and run revenue lookups in natural language without leaving the app.
Recurring invoices
Generate compliant recurring invoices on any cycle, not just monthly and yearly. Raise advance invoices a set number of days before renewal.
Customer payment portal
Give customers a portal to manage subscriptions, view invoices, and update payment details on their own.
Payment recovery
Chargebee Revive aligns retries to customer funding cycles, routes around fraud flags, intelligently switches gateways, and adapts to issuer behavior.
Revenue recognition
Handle invoice-based, contract-based, credit-based, and usage-based recognition, point-in-time and ratable, without manual schedules.
Retention experiments
Test renewal price changes, plan restructures, and offer variants with A/B and multivariate experiments.
Revenue reporting
Use RevenueStory's out-of-the-box metrics, role-specific dashboards, threshold alerts, and goal tracking.

Pros and cons

Pros

Supports complex and hybrid subscription pricing models.
Automates tax compliance and revenue recognition globally.
Integrates with multiple payment gateways and accounting systems.
Offers self-serve portals and lifecycle email automation to reduce support load.
Provides developer-friendly APIs and pre-built workflows for customization.

Cons

Pricing details for advanced plans require contacting sales.
Primarily designed for subscription businesses, less suited for one-time payment models.

Set usage caps on tokens, seats, and credits. Enforce them at every API call. When customers hit the limit, overage charges apply automatically so spending stays visible and margin protected.
AI agents
Three agents ship in the product: Data lookup across subscriptions and payments, Knowledge base answers from docs and API specs, and guided Onboarding agent to set up pricing.
