WORKS FOR

SaaS companies and subscription businesses that need to manage complex billing plans, trials, upgrades, and churn recovery automatically

KEY INSIGHT

Chargebee is the subscription billing layer between your product and Stripe — it handles plan changes, proration, dunning, and revenue recognition so you don't have to build it yourself

DOESN'T WORK FOR

Simple one-time payment businesses or very early stage startups — the complexity and pricing are overkill until you have recurring revenue to manage
