Pros and cons

Stripe Billing

Pros

  • No monthly fee on pay as you go: you pay 0.7% only when you bill
  • Smart Retries and dunning are included, not an upsell
  • Huge developer ecosystem and clear public pricing for every add-on
  • Tax and revenue recognition can be added later without switching tools

Cons

  • Add-ons stack up: Billing, Tax and Revenue Recognition are each priced separately
  • Not a merchant of record: you still register for and file sales tax and VAT yourself
  • Best experience assumes Stripe Payments; other processors are an extra-cost feature
  • No native Shopify subscription app

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
