Affordable subscription billing with customizable checkout and integrations
Billsby is a subscription billing platform positioned as a more affordable alternative to Chargebee and Recurly for small to mid-market subscription businesses. Starting at $35/month with a low 0.4% transaction fee on revenue above the threshold, Billsby's pricing is among the most competitive in the space for businesses processing $15,000–$200,000 in monthly subscription revenue. The platform provides plan management, trial handling, discount and coupon management, prorations, and dunning automation — the core billing functionality required for subscription businesses. The customizable hosted checkout supports multiple payment methods and can be white-labeled for a branded subscriber experience. An add-ons and allowances system enables flexible feature packaging and usage-based charges on top of base subscription plans. The customer hub is a self-service portal where subscribers can update payment methods, change plans, pause, or cancel subscriptions without contacting support. Webhooks and APIs enable integration with third-party systems for CRM, support, and accounting data synchronization. Payment processing works through Stripe, providing broad payment method support including cards, SEPA, and ACH. Revenue reporting covers MRR, subscriber growth, and churn metrics. While Billsby lacks some advanced features of premium platforms — AI-powered churn prediction, sophisticated revenue recognition — its core billing functionality is solid and its pricing model makes it accessible for bootstrapped and early-stage subscription businesses seeking a dedicated billing platform without enterprise-tier investment.
