What is Chargebee?

Editorial review
Chargebee handles subscription billing complexity so you don't have to build it. Pricing models, trials, upgrades, downgrades, invoicing, taxes-the edge cases that make billing systems nightmares, solved. The revenue recognition and analytics answer finance questions. Dunning automation reduces churn from failed payments. Integrations connect to accounting and CRM. SaaS companies with non-trivial billing needs choose Chargebee over building billing systems, which are always more complex than expected.
