SaaSOptics is a game saver for automated B2B invoicing, collections and contract management
We used SaaSOptics for a few things:
- Manage customer contracts.
- Invoice customers.
- Invoice collections.
- Link between Salesforce and QuickBooks.
- Very easy to automate and keep track of invoices.
- Great collections tools - automate messaging to customers that drives collections via cadences functionality.
- Single source of the truth, maintains everything related to each customer's contract. Schedules out invoicing, revenue recognition, renewals along with storing actual contract and notes.
- Our implementation process was a bit overwhelming. Too much information, too deep, should have focused on core functionality first. I believe they fixed this subsequent to our implementation.
- Should be able to attach physical contract to the contract level, not at the customer level.
- I never really used the analytics and reporting functionality, seems like it would have been great.
We use Chargify as our billing platform. It manages all our customer subscriptions and facilitates payments via our payment merchant. A number of departments across the company use Chargify. The product department sets up and manages the Chargify integration with our application. Finance users Chargify to ensure customers have subscribed to the right plan and are charged correctly. Sales, customer support, and success use Chargify to view customer account information.
- Scales well as our customer base grows
- Good reporting and continues to improve
- Stable product - no downtime except for scheduled maintenance which rarely requires app downtime
- Needs to improve customer invoices. Currency customers who pay by credit card cannot be sent an invoice from Chargify, only a payment receipt. This means we have to manually generate invoices from our accounting system. Apparently this feature is coming, but we've been waiting for years.
- Reporting could be better. We need multiple Chargify sites because each site can only charge in one currency. Unfortunately, the Chargify reports can't consolidate the multiple site data. Therefore you need to run separate reports for each site. This has resulted in us having to use another SaaS tool for reporting.
- API could be improved. We use ChartMogul for our reporting due to limitations in Chargify's reporting. However, they have made the decision not to improve the integration due to continued technical issues with the Chargify API data. Other SaaS analytic tools have recently discontinued their integration with Chargify.
- Pricing - for the limitations mentioned above, the monthly subscription price is quite high.

I am an outsourced controller and selected SaaSOptics for my client who sells software as a service on a subscription basis. After attempting to track deferred revenue using an Excel spreadsheet, I knew that there had to be a better way. SaaSOptics allows us to track our contracts, automate billing and payment and generate very useful financial and analytic reports that allow us to better manage the business. It's also taken a huge burden off me as a controller when it comes to generating financial statements using Revenue Recognition.
- Tracks revenue recognition and provides journal entries, simplifying the accounting process
- Provides monthly and annual revenue recognition reports and analytics that allow us to manage the business more easily
- Maintains all of our relevant contract info, including attachments
- Automates recurring billing and payments
- The dashboard is difficult to customize
- I would like to be able to delete report snapshots and have a better way to organize saved reports
- Chat feature for help would be nice

Stave first looked into SaaSOptics so that we could accurately record deferred revenue and our subscription services. The integration with QBO and HubSpot has extended our use of the product from just being an accounting tool to being a tool for our sales and customer success staff. SaaSOptics allows reporting not only on subscription metrics but also on revenue, customer and project metrics, which has proven to be extremely beneficial.
- Reports on subscription services
- Reports on revenue deferrals
- Integrations
- Invoicing
- Would love to have more control over reports, customization, and printing to PDF instead of just CSV.

We are using SaaSOptics primarily for its revenue recognition and reporting functionality. Current users are myself, in the weeds and using it daily, and our CEO and Sales team who use it for various metrics. The biggest business problem it addresses is revenue recognition. It also provides great metrics for our Bus Dev team.
- Revenue recognition. No more spreadsheets! It is robust and highly configurable.
- Metrics around SaaS sales. ARR, MRR, TCV. All of these things are available quickly and easily,
- Syncing with QuickBooks Online. Nice to not duplicate our efforts. You can continue to invoice using QB, or you can use SaaSOptics to invoice. The flexibility is appreciated.
- I would like a bit more visibility into sub-customers. All sub-customers are currently listed under the parent. If there were a way to differentiate each sub-customer without having to drill down too far that would be great.
Chargify is used for day to day transactions for our clients monthly, semi-annual, and annual payments to use our application. I use Chargify to monitor charges on clients' accounts for our records as well as being able to supply clients with any documentation that they need for their billing needs.
- Chargify has a great and easy to use interface with a good flow that is easy to navigate.
- They do a great job with the layout of their invoices. They're clean and easy to read.
- They easily list my products to make sure I'm properly lining up details with what my clients should be charged for.
- I'd like to see a more unique dashboard with analytics on the front end.

I use Chargify for a SaaS company. I did a lot of research before choosing a vendor for this product because I wanted a solution that would scale and grow with us for years to come. After choosing Chargify, we couldn't be happier with our decision. Everyone we have worked with there has been top notch. Even the CEO, Lance, has been super responsive and helpful. He even helped us choose our payment gateway provider and we have been very pleased with them as well. Having this piece of the business figured out really made it easy to focus on other things and our launch was very smooth and everything has worked great.
- Useful APIs, easy to integrate
- Lots of features and customization, notification emails, receipts
- Ability to invoice
- Good reporting tools
- don't have
