Chargebee Inc
Well-suited:
  • In a B2B set up - Post achieving some scale and having outgrown Google Sheets/ Excels. Won't add much value if you are dealing with fewer than 400-500 invoices a year.
  • We haven't explored their B2C subscription management side - but that is one of the key strengths of the platform.

  • It is great for companies or people that are using software that is mainstream and would like to extend the capability of that software with added features.
  • Also great for companies that use more than 1 software and need to have them interact with each other to make them more efficient
  • Great for companies that need to automate functions that are repetitive throughout the organization

Cons
Chargebee Inc
  • It wasn't allowing us to add a one time purchase without making it an ongoing subscription with only one payment. They may have fixed it very recently but that was a big pain from a reporting perspective (it was including one time purchasers as subscribers)
  • Email automation is not very robust. Difficult to customize triggers by subscription, you have to send the same message to all subscribers for a specific action
  • Wish it had a way to write off and cancel the subscription of customers who haven't updated their cc info. That can be a long painful and very manual process. And if that feature is available somewhere they don't do a good job of making that clear.

  • The trigger action needs improvement
  • The method of connecting different software also needs to be simplified
  • The actions for some software applications need to have more capability (things that can be done between different software)

Usability
Chargebee Inc
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.

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.

Most platforms do one thing well so you are limited to that one thing. And then those platforms add some functionality later, plus most systems don't have native integration between other systems. From our experience, Pabbly Plus was birthed by connecting different platforms/software so it works well in that regard. It is also easier than most systems as most other platforms charge a premium for integration systems, where as Pabbly doesn't.

Return on Investment
Chargebee Inc
  • It was a step in the right direction compared to ReCharge
  • It had negative impacts on our revenue before we had our developers put some work into improving its capabilities with our website and software
  • Now, we are seeing some positive results (after some costly updating from our end)
