Zoho Subscriptions (now rebranded as Zoho Billing) is a recurring billing and subscription management platform built by Zoho Corporation out of Chennai, India. It handles the entire subscription lifecycle — plan creation, automated invoicing, payment collection, dunning (failed payment recovery), revenue recognition, and a self-service customer portal — making it a direct competitor to Chargebee, Stripe Billing, and Recurly. Key features include multi-currency and multi-language support, usage-based billing, configurable billing cycles (monthly, quarterly, annual), automated proration for plan changes, coupon management, and detailed MRR/churn analytics. The platform integrates natively with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, and the broader Zoho One ecosystem, plus supports payment gateways including Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, and GoCardless. A hosted payment page and customer portal let subscribers manage their own plans without contacting support. Pricing starts at $29/month (Standard) for invoicing, quotes, and multi-currency with up to 3 users. The Premium plan at $69/month adds subscription billing automation, usage-based pricing, and supports up to 10 users. Both include a free trial. Compared to Chargebee (which starts at $59/month), Zoho Billing is approximately 50% cheaper at the entry level and includes native Zoho ecosystem integration at no extra cost. Best suited for Indian SaaS companies, subscription-based businesses, and Zoho ecosystem users who need automated recurring billing without the complexity or cost of Chargebee or Stripe Billing. Larger enterprises with complex billing scenarios (multi-entity, advanced revenue recognition) or those needing deep Stripe integration may find Chargebee more capable. Users report that initial setup can be time-consuming and some newer features feel under-polished.
