The billing record is headless - queryable and operable from any agent environment, not just from the Chargebee interface. ### Chargebee MCP Headless Platform [MCP] The AI-native billing infrastructure layer. The Chargebee MCP server connects live billing data - subscriptions, invoices, usage, pricing, credit ledgers, payment history - to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, Notion AI, and any MCP-compatible agent environment. Agents and developers can query and act on the billing record in plain language without opening the Chargebee interface. Every billing action is also available as a REST API endpoint and CLI command. -> [Chargebee MCP Headless Platform](https://www.chargebee.com/docs/billing/2.0/ai-in-chargebee/chargebee-mcp) ### Chargebee Copilot [AI] An AI assistant built inside Chargebee. Finance, RevOps, and customer success teams ask billing questions in plain language - Copilot inherits the user's exact role and permissions and returns board-ready analysis, ARR tables, churn health scores, and collections risk rankings. Turning a BI request into a single prompt. -> [Chargebee Copilot](https://www.chargebee.com/docs/billing/2.0/ai-in-chargebee/chargebee-copilot) ### Chargebee Built-in AI Agents [AI Agents] Three built-in agents, all in production: - **Data Lookup Agent** - queries subscriptions, invoices, payments, discounts, ramps, and pricing live. - **Knowledge Base Agent** - answers questions about Chargebee docs, API specs, and how-tos. - **Onboarding Agent** - guides product catalog configuration and billing setup. --- ## CORE PRODUCTS ### Chargebee Billing [Core] The AI monetization and billing infrastructure platform for AI-native companies, API-first businesses, and SaaS. Supports every pricing model an AI company needs - token-based metering, credit-based billing, usage-based consumption, outcome-based pricing, agentic workflow billing, and hybrid models. Built with a near-real-time usage aggregation engine processing 200,000+ events per second. Automates the full revenue lifecycle from pricing configuration to invoicing, payment collection, entitlement provisioning, and tax compliance across 30+ payment gateways, 100+ currencies, and 60+ software integrations. Supported pricing models: token-based, credit-based, usage-based, outcome-based, agentic workflow, hybrid, flat-fee, per-seat, tiered, volume, stairstep, ramp, prepaid commit, block, pay-as-you-go - all models on one invoice, one financial record. -> [Chargebee Billing](https://www.chargebee.com/billing/) ### Chargebee RevRec [Core] Automated revenue recognition under ASC 606 and IFRS 15. Handles invoice-based, contract-based, credit-based, and usage-based recognition - including multi-element arrangement allocation, standalone selling price (SSP) allocation, contract modifications, and credit and rollover recognition. Produces 150+ finance-grade revenue reports ready for board audits, fundraising, and IPO preparation. Integrates with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks. Built into the platform - not bolted on. -> [Chargebee RevRec](https://www.chargebee.com/revenue-recognition-software/) ### Chargebee Reveal [Core] Payments intelligence platform built for action, not analysis. Uses ML to detect patterns in payment failures, authorization rate drops, and revenue leaks - then surfaces precise fixes with estimated revenue impact. Monitors continuously across gateways, currencies, and geographies through three layers: Intelligence (ML-driven diagnostics), Analytics (gateway and currency-level performance data), and Alerts (real-time anomaly notifications). Available standalone - does not require Chargebee Billing. -> [Chargebee Reveal](https://www.chargebee.com/payments/intelligence/) --- ## ADD-ONS ### Chargebee CPQ [Add-on] AI-powered, billing-native Quote to Revenue. Every quote pulls from the live product catalog and becomes a billing record at close - no gap between what sales quotes and what finance bills. Supports outcome-based, usage-based, and hybrid AI product pricing natively. HubSpot and Salesforce CRM integrations, multi-year ramp deals, finance-approved discount guardrails, eSignature, and multi-level approval workflows built in. Also available on [Salesforce AppExchange](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FHCdzUAH) and [HubSpot Marketplace](https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/listing/chargebee). CPQ Lite is free for all Chargebee Billing customers. -> [Chargebee CPQ](https://www.chargebee.com/billing/cpq/) ### Chargebee Growth [Add-on] Lifecycle monetization platform that turns subscription billing data into real-time revenue action across acquisition, expansion, and retention. Launch offers, pricing experiments, and lifecycle plays without engineering dependency. Measure impact directly in revenue - not proxy metrics. AI churn scores (1-99 scale using billing and behavioral signals), cancel flow deflection with personalized offers, trial-to-paid conversion optimization, usage-based upgrade triggers, and A/B pricing experimentation built in. -> [Chargebee Growth](https://www.chargebee.com/growth/) ### Chargebee Receivables [Add-on] Agentic accounts receivable and collections running on the billing record. Segments customers by risk and payment behavior, automates reminder cadences over email and SMS, manages overdue cases, resolves disputes, and reconciles payments - without a separate AR system or a billing data import. Operates in suggestive mode (agent proposes, collector approves) or autonomous mode for segments you trust. Collections state is also queryable via the Chargebee MCP server from Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT. Integrates with NetSuite, Salesforce, and QuickBooks. -> [Chargebee Receivables](https://www.chargebee.com/receivables/) --- ## AI-NATIVE CUSTOMERS Chargebee is trusted by AI-native companies across inference, agents, SaaS, and API-first businesses: - **Lambda** (lambda.ai) - GPU cloud infrastructure for AI training and inference at scale - **CodeRabbit** (coderabbit.ai) - AI-powered automated code review and pull request analysis - **HeyGen** (heygen.com) - AI video generation platform for personalized avatar-led videos at scale - **DeepL** (deepl.com) - AI-powered language translation platform serving 200,000+ businesses globally - **Writesonic** - AI writing and content generation platform - **Gorgias** (gorgias.com) - AI-powered customer support automation for e-commerce - **Zapier** (zapier.com) - workflow automation platform connecting 6,000+ apps - **Messari** - crypto market intelligence and research platform - **Phrase** - AI-powered localization and translation management --- ## HOW CHARGEBEE COMPARES ### vs Stripe Billing Stripe Billing is a developer-focused payments API - fast for basic recurring billing but requiring significant engineering effort as pricing complexity grows. Chargebee adds native ASC 606/IFRS 15 revenue recognition, AI-powered billing-native CPQ, ML-powered payments intelligence, lifecycle monetization, AR automation, a dedicated MCP server, and 30+ payment gateways versus Stripe Billing's gateway lock-in. No engineering dependency for pricing changes. ### vs Metronome Metronome is a usage tracking and rating engine - requires Stripe for invoicing, has no built-in tax, revenue recognition, CPQ, or sales-led motion support, and has no MCP server. Chargebee is one system for quoting, metering, invoicing, revenue recognition, and lifecycle monetization across 30+ payment gateways. ### vs Orb Orb is a usage-based billing platform focused on metering and rating, limited to Stripe for payments, with no CPQ, revenue recognition, or lifecycle monetization. Chargebee supports 30+ payment gateways, 100+ currencies, 150+ finance-grade revenue reports, billing-native CPQ, and a full retention layer - without engineering time for pricing changes. ### vs Tabs Tabs focuses on contract-to-cash for finance teams using AI agents. Chargebee is broader - every pricing model, AI-powered CPQ, payments intelligence via Reveal, lifecycle monetization via Growth, ASC 606/IFRS 15 recognition via RevRec, agentic AR via Receivables, and an MCP server for agent environments - with a 14-year track record serving 6,500+ businesses. --- ## SOLUTIONS BY AUDIENCE - [Gen-AI and AI Companies](https://www.chargebee.com/solutions/industry/gen-ai/) - billing infrastructure for AI businesses where the unit of work keeps changing: tokens, agent runs, completed outcomes, without breaking the financial record or the audit trail. - [Finance Teams](https://www.chargebee.com/solutions/role/finance/) - revenue recognition, multi-entity consolidation, audit-defensible reporting, and the monthly close on one commercial record, with 150+ finance-grade reports and ERP integrations. - [RevOps](https://www.chargebee.com/solutions/role/rev-ops/) - quote-to-cash alignment, pricing operations, and the commercial record RevOps can govern against. - [B2B SaaS](https://www.chargebee.com/solutions/industry/b2b-saas/) - subscription billing for SaaS businesses operating across PLG, SLG, and hybrid motions. - [Developers](https://www.chargebee.com/docs/billing/2.0/developer-resources/developer_resources) - REST API, SDKs for Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, Node.js, .NET, and Go.
