Fusebill vs. Maxio

Fusebill is great for a simple business that doesn't have a lot of moving pieces to their subscriptions. One of our two companies that uses Fusebill it is perfect for it because it is small and straightforward. The second you get into complicated scenarios for billing, subscriptions or detailed accounting reports, [and] Fusebill no longer serves those needs.

In my opinion, Maxio is well suited for a large company with simple products/billing scenarios and 10s of thousands of dollars available to waste on implementation, learning curve, and mistakes. For any other company, I do not advise purchasing Maxio.

• Managing deferred revenue.
• Contract management is flexible and allows us to see data that we never had before.
• Billing is painless and is now done within a couple hours. Previously it would take at least 1-2 days.
• Business Metrics and Reporting.

• Options for Cash-based businesses. While it's not GAAP compliant and most users are accrual, many SaaS start ups are still small and operating on a cash basis.
• Commissions Module since SO already has all our data intergrations
• So many different features and data entry points that manual data entry errors are common

They are a crucial piece of what we do. We hope to have them as a vendor for a long time to come.

It works great for the simple scenarios and gives you configurability options to make it fit your business, but doesn't handle the complicated scenarios.

There is definitely a learning curve - to me the UI for reporting was not intuitive and often required me to ask our RevOps to pull data for me

This is pretty non-existent. After we came on we had a dedicated person for a few months and then never heard from them again. Support requests seem to be forgotten about and we rarely got answers to the questions we were needing.

They are willing to help with most challenges and are pretty easy to get ahold of by phone. They are limited in their reach, when it comes to bulk cancellations, along with some other bulk edits. It is no fault to them, Chargify is just a system that hasn’t been upgraded much over the years.

I inherited SaaSOptics from several predecessors that worked on it before me. I believe they used Chargebee or Chargify before SaaSOptics, but I haven't used them. I pray that the market comes up with a better product for subscription revenue management, SaaS metric reporting, and financial projections. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or the team to be able to successfully complete the transition to new software at this time, so I feel like I'm stuck with SaaSOptics at this point

• Limitations in Chargify's invoicing capability has resulted in our finance team having to manually send invoices from our accounting system. This has resulted in 10-15 hours a week of resource wasted on something that Chargify should automatically do. If this isn't addressed, then the wasted time will increase as we scale.
