Business OS for Usage Monetization

Most systems can track usage. Few can run a business on it. Chargebee gives you the infrastructure to price, sell, bill, and recognize revenue on usage — reliably and at scale.

Trusted by SaaS, AI, and Cloud Infra Leaders
When AI Pricing Gets Complex, Most Billing Systems Break
AI products deliver value through continuous outcomes and evolving usage patterns. But traditional billing systems aren’t built for that level of variability, volume, or change.
Chargebee is built for usage-based monetization, shaped by thousands of real-world pricing models, AI workloads, and contract structures. It handles the edge cases that break other systems — without adding engineering overhead.

Quote, Contract, and Bill Usage Without Breaking Your Tech Stack

Every usage model adds operational complexity across teams. Sales has to quote it, Product has to gate it, and Finance has to bill accurately. Chargebee connects usage data to quoting, contracting, and billing in one system so you can avoid delays, deal blockers, and dev backlogs.

Let Sales say “yes” on the call — CPQ will quote it, Billing will run it, whether it's recurring, usage-based, included units, overages, or credits

Test and Launch Pricing Without Touching Code

As pricing gets more complex, it outgrows your billing system. Usage tiers, overages, hybrid models—what should be simple changes become engineering tickets and finance workarounds. Chargebee puts pricing control with business and GTM teams, so you can support any model via configuration, not code.

Protect Margins Without Slowing Adoption

Power users and rapid adoption can quietly pressure margins. Without the right controls, what should have been expansion signals turn into billing disputes and delayed upgrades. Chargebee gives you the visibility and controls to intervene early, and grow revenue without friction.
