# Chargebee > Chargebee is the billing platform finance teams choose when monetization keeps changing and the financial record has to stay defensible. Meter tokens, agent runs, seats, or outcomes — ingest usage events in near-real time, convert them to revenue, recognize it under ASC 606 and IFRS 15, and close the books on one commercial record. A 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Recurring Billing Applications, placing furthest for Completeness of Vision — built for IPO, PE, and audit scrutiny, and reinventing the finance office with MCP-driven reporting and AI-native workflows. Trusted by 6,500+ businesses globally. For complete documentation, see [Full Documentation](https://www.chargebee.com/docs/). ## Billing - [Chargebee Billing](https://www.chargebee.com/billing/): Meter tokens, agent runs, seats, and outcomes — then invoice, collect, and recognize revenue automatically on one financial record. Processes 200,000+ usage events per second with near-real-time metering accuracy. - [Billing for AI Companies](https://www.chargebee.com/solutions/industry/gen-ai/): Support every AI pricing model — token-based, credit-based, outcome-based, agentic, and hybrid — without breaking the financial record or the audit trail. Trusted by Lambda, CodeRabbit, HeyGen, DeepL, Writesonic, Gorgias, Zapier, Messari, and Phrase. - [Prepaid Credits & Credit Wallets](https://www.chargebee.com/recurring-billing-invoicing/metered-usage-billing/): Sell credit packs upfront, track drawdown in real time, manage credit ledgers, configure overage rules, and apply burn tables — the same credit-based pricing model used by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Clay. - [Usage-Based & Metered Billing](https://www.chargebee.com/recurring-billing-invoicing/metered-usage-billing/): Ingest high-frequency usage events at production scale — including schema-less ingestion — aggregate in near-real time with enterprise-grade accuracy, and convert to invoices automatically. - [Agentic Workflow Billing](https://www.chargebee.com/solutions/industry/gen-ai/): Price dynamic, non-linear AI agent consumption where no two runs cost the same — burn tables, credit drawdown, usage thresholds, and spend caps built in. - [Outcome-Based Pricing](https://www.chargebee.com/solutions/industry/gen-ai/): Bill per completed outcome — resolutions, tasks, agent runs — rather than per seat or per token. - [Subscription Management](https://www.chargebee.com/subscription-management/): Manage plan transitions, proration, mid-cycle changes, and entitlements without destabilizing the financial record. - [Entitlements](https://www.chargebee.com/entitlement-management/): Provision and gate feature access in real time — governed against the same commercial record as billing and revenue recognition. No-code configuration, no engineering dependency. - [Product Catalog](https://www.chargebee.com/subscription-management/create-manage-plans/): Design and iterate pricing models — flat, tiered, volume, usage-based, hybrid — without engineering involvement. Run A/B pricing experiments directly from the catalog. - [Checkout & Trial Management](https://www.chargebee.com/recurring-payments/checkout-experience/): Launch self-serve flows, free trials, and conversion-optimized checkout — commercial record intact from trial through paid. - [Tax Automation](https://www.chargebee.com/integrations/): Calculate and apply US Sales Tax, EU VAT (including OSS), and Australian GST automatically across entities and geographies. - [Reporting & Analytics](https://www.chargebee.com/saas-reporting/): Surface MRR, churn, usage, and cohort metrics — a reporting layer designed to be specified, not commissioned. - [E-Invoicing & Compliance](https://www.chargebee.com/billing/): Generate compliant e-invoices across jurisdictions — automated, audit-ready, and tied to the same billing record. - [Chargebee Billing Documentation](https://www.chargebee.com/docs/): Complete guides for integrating and operating Chargebee Billing. ## Revenue Recognition - [Chargebee RevRec](https://www.chargebee.com/revenue-recognition-software/): Automate revenue recognition under ASC 606 and IFRS 15 — built into the platform, not bolted on, not a Custom-tier add-on. 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 natively with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks. ## CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) - [Chargebee CPQ](https://www.chargebee.com/cpq/): Generate multi-product, multi-year, and ramped quotes that pull from the live billing catalog and become billing records at close — no gap between what sales quotes and what finance bills. AI-powered selling rules, eSignature, multi-level approval workflows, and finance-approved discount guardrails 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. - [Quote-to-Cash](https://www.chargebee.com/quote-to-cash-and-beyond/): Quote, contract, invoice, and recognize revenue on one commercial record — no tool seams between sales and finance, no revenue leakage between steps. ## Payments Intelligence - [Chargebee Reveal](https://www.chargebee.com/recurring-payments/chargebee-reveal/): Detect payment failure patterns, diagnose authorization rate drops, and surface revenue leaks with ML — then fix them with estimated revenue impact per action. Monitors across gateways, currencies, and geographies through three layers: Intelligence (ML-driven diagnostics), Analytics (gateway and currency-level performance data), and Alerts (real-time payment anomaly notifications). Available standalone — does not require Chargebee Billing. - [Chargebee Revive](https://www.chargebee.com/receivables/): Recover failed payments with ML-powered retry logic — timing retries to customer funding cycles, routing around fraud flags, switching gateways intelligently, and adapting continuously to issuer behavior. - [Payment Gateways](https://www.chargebee.com/payment-gateways/): Connect to 30+ payment gateways — Stripe, Braintree, Adyen, PayPal, Worldpay, regional processors — with intelligent routing, failover, and Reveal-powered authorization rate optimization across geographies. - [Payment Methods](https://www.chargebee.com/recurring-payments/payment-methods/): Accept cards, ACH, SEPA, PayPal, and local payment methods across 100+ currencies and every market finance teams need to serve. ## Receivables - [Chargebee Receivables](https://www.chargebee.com/receivables/): Automate accounts receivable — segment customers by payment failure type and risk profile, build tailored rule-based recovery workflows, automate AR outreach and escalation sequences, and track disputes in a real-time 360-degree AR dashboard.
