ChargeOver vs. Zoho Billing

It's good for anyone who has customers, in my opinion. Whether you keep track of subscriptions, or just have one-time only invoices, it's just a wonderful way to keep track of everything in an organized way.

[Zoho Subscriptions is great] for startup agencies or businesses that charge monthly subscriptions of some kind. For most other [softwares,] you are paying at least $100 per month just to have the software. Zoho [Subscriptions] gives you the chance to take advantage of starting at [zero dollars,] which keeps your cost down until you understand the software before you have to upgrade. I feel like you can easily bootstrap your startup business to keep costs down. As you [are] moving forward, and are bringing in several thousand per month in revenue, it can scale up without costing a lot. [The subscriptions] [...] [start] to cost more, [...] if you have one time payments; you then need additional software from Zoho [Subscriptions] to handle the needs, and it starts adding up to typical [back- end] management software, with multiple log in points which start to drain your time budget. [At] that point, I ended up looking for a more all in one software that manages both contacts, one time and recurring invoices, reminders, etc. By the time our revenue exceeded [$5,000] per month[,] I [needed] to save time and looked for other options. [However,] I have other friends who still use it and they are generating $10k or more per month.

• They need the site to be mobile friendly or to develop an app. If I don't use Chrome and remember to view as desktop site, it loses much of its functionality.

• You need other Zoho tools like CRM and Books or Inventory.
• When changing an email in Subscriptions it changes it in the Zoho CRM.
• No notification of a failed payment.

Zoho Billing covers our subscription and invoicing needs well and fits nicely into our Zoho setup, but its broken GA4 integration is a real limitation for our use case.

I think ChargeOver is more flexible than any of its competitors. Our business involves both subscription and one-time billing, and most billing systems excel at only one or the other. ChargeOver is also at a great price point with its billing based on a number of customers. We are also able to realize low-cost ACH payments through their gateway integrations when their competitors only provide access to high-cost providers.
