Chargebee Named a Leader in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Recurring Billing Applications

Trusted by thousands of global innovators, including Zapier, Lambda, and Condé Nast, Chargebee shapes the future of billing and monetization with new AI-driven capabilities.

Today, we are proud to announce that Chargebee has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Recurring Billing Applications. The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. Chargebee is placed furthest for Completeness of Vision among evaluated vendors.

This marks the second consecutive year we’ve been positioned as a Leader in the report.

Over more than a decade, we’ve built Chargebee to empower a generation of business leaders with the speed, flexibility, and confidence they need to build generational companies.

To reflect on what we’ve learned and share what’s ahead, we’re hosting a live conversation about the future of billing and monetization.

Monetization Is Now a Critical Growth Lever

Enterprises are rethinking how they create and capture value. Software and SaaS companies are moving beyond the pure-play, license-based business model that has defined the past two decades and are adopting more flexible approaches that include usage-based, pay-as-you-go, and outcome-based pricing. Companies with the flexibility to combine and test multiple pricing models are achieving profit margin improvements at more than twice the rate of those using purely usage-based models, according to our recent research.

But finding product-market fit for new offerings is now only the starting point. Innovators must also master how they measure, articulate, price, and package the value they deliver, all while navigating the new cost implications of AI-powered solutions. 

Recognitions and a Relentless Record of Innovation

Our recognition by Gartner as a Leader for the second consecutive year comes on the heels of a series of major 2025 product milestones that underscore our commitment to innovation and customer success.

As people adjust to buying and using AI, companies must be able to track and reflect product usage, event costs, token limits, credit rollovers, and service consumption in their customer-facing applications and invoices. And, this metered information needs to sync in near real-time across vendors’ internal billing and finance infrastructure to unify quoting, invoicing, collections, and revenue recognition.

To support the volume and latency requirements of our rapidly scaling AI customers — and to align product usage with the pricing, packaging, and SKU definitions already built into our product catalog for subscription and recurring revenue plans — we opted to build native metering and usage billing functionality into its platform, rather than outsourcing or partnering on these critical capabilities.

Chargebee’s recurring revenue monetization and AI offerings are expanding to include:

• Support for high volumes of daily usage events: companies can track, meter, and invoice for high volumes of usage events at rates up to 200K events per second. 
• Predictive churn and expansion workflows, which use AI and machine learning to pinpoint at-risk customers and trigger preventative retention and proactive upsell plays.
• AI-powered cancel offers, which reduce voluntary churn and strengthen customer loyalty with relevant offers and messaging embedded in cancellation flows.
• AI-powered revenue recovery, integrated from the recent acquisition of payments intelligence and analytics provider Inai, that augments Chargebee’s built-in smart dunning capabilities with extensive data enrichment and machine learning.

With these innovations, Chargebee seamlessly supports usage- and subscription-based pricing across the entire revenue lifecycle, from customer acquisition and quoting, to growth, invoicing, and collections, as well as customer retention and payment optimization, all the way through to tax, compliance, and revenue recognition. 

Driving Growth Across AI, SaaS, and Consumer Subscriptions

From enterprise SaaS to next-generation AI startups and fast-moving consumer brands, businesses across industries are turning to Chargebee to modernize their approach to monetization and scale with confidence:

From tried-and-true subscription management to complex usage-based pricing and optimized growth and retention, Chargebee provides the foundation for flexibility and innovation across industries.

We have also accelerated global expansion this year, with the announcement of two new offices in Dublin, Ireland, and Chennai, India.
