Billing breaks every time pricing changes
New plans, usage tiers and custom contracts usually mean another tab in the billing spreadsheet and a longer close. Maxio handles subscriptions, usage-based billing, invoicing and payments in one place, then recognises revenue under ASC 606 and IFRS 15 from the same data, with ARR, DSO and 30 other reports a click away. It connects to Stripe and more than 20 other payment gateways, plus QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Salesforce and HubSpot. Over 2,000 SaaS and AI companies use it, Extensiv closes revenue in five days, and Rockerbox reports 90% faster reporting.
What is it:
A billing and revenue platform for SaaS and AI companies that handles subscriptions, usage-based billing, revenue recognition and reporting.
Who is it for:
Finance leaders at subscription and AI companies whose pricing has outgrown the billing spreadsheet.
Alternative to:
Chargebee, Recurly, Zuora, Stripe Billing, Paddle, or a spreadsheet that needs rebuilding every time pricing changes.
Why we like it:
We like Maxio because billing and revenue recognition run from the same data, so month-end stops being a reconciliation exercise.
