Pros and cons

Chargebee

Pros

  • Start with no base fee on Flow and switch to the lower rate as volume grows
  • Tax handling and QuickBooks/Xero sync are included, not extras
  • Gateway-agnostic: 40+ gateways so you are not tied to one processor
  • Strong B2B features: account hierarchies, contract terms and CPQ on higher tiers

Cons

  • Revenue recognition is a separate product with pricing on request
  • NetSuite, Salesforce and Avalara connectors need Enterprise
  • Percentage pricing on every invoice adds up at high volume
  • No longer a permanent free tier for Billing

Paddle

Pros

  • Merchant of record removes most sales tax and VAT registration and filing work
  • One all-in price includes payments, tax, dunning and chargebacks
  • No monthly fee, so cost scales with sales
  • Retain dunning is included rather than a paid add-on

Cons

  • 5% + 50¢ is the highest per-transaction cost here once you compare like for like at volume
  • Software and digital products only: physical goods are prohibited
  • Less control over checkout and customer relationship because Paddle is the seller
  • No ASC 606 revenue recognition module listed on its pricing or Billing pages
