Autonomous AI billing vs legacy subscription management

Why modern B2B companies choose JustPaid over Chargebee

Chargebee pioneered subscription billing automation in 2011 and has built a solid platform for recurring revenue businesses. But as B2B billing has evolved beyond simple subscriptions to complex contracts, usage-based models, and enterprise agreements, the limitations of traditional subscription platforms have become clear.

JustPaid represents the next generation of billing automation. While Chargebee focuses on subscription workflows, we've built an autonomous AI agent that handles your entire revenue operations—from reading complex contracts to collecting payments intelligently. Here's how we compare on capabilities that matter for scaling B2B companies:

Beyond subscriptions: True revenue automation

Chargebee was built for the subscription economy of the 2010s—perfect for SaaS companies with simple monthly/annual pricing. But modern B2B deals are complex. They involve custom contracts, usage-based components, enterprise agreements, and negotiated terms. Chargebee requires you to manually configure each variation, while JustPaid's AI reads any contract and automatically sets up the entire billing workflow.

Intelligent collections vs basic dunning

Chargebee's dunning management sends the same retry sequences to every customer—a one-size-fits-all approach that ignores customer behavior and payment patterns. JustPaid's AI analyzes each customer's payment history, engagement patterns, and business context to craft personalized collection messages. It knows when to be persistent with chronic late payers and when to be gentle with usually-prompt customers facing temporary issues. Result? 3x higher collection rates and better customer relationships.

AI that evolves vs static automation

Chargebee's automation is rule-based—you set it up once and it runs the same way forever. JustPaid's AI continuously learns from every interaction, improving its contract extraction accuracy, optimizing collection timing, and refining cash flow predictions. After 6 months, JustPaid knows your business better than most of your team members, predicting payment delays weeks in advance and preventing revenue leakage before it happens.

Days to deploy vs weeks of configuration

Implementing Chargebee means weeks of configuration—setting up products, plans, coupons, add-ons, and complex pricing rules. Each new contract type requires manual setup. JustPaid goes live in 3-7 days. Just upload your contracts or connect Salesforce, and our AI handles the rest. No product catalogs to maintain, no pricing rules to configure—just instant automation.

Built for B2B complexity, not B2C simplicity

Chargebee serves both B2C subscription boxes and B2B software companies, resulting in a platform that doesn't excel at either. JustPaid is laser-focused on B2B complexity—multi-year contracts, custom payment terms, enterprise procurement processes, and complex approval workflows. We handle the messy reality of B2B billing that subscription platforms simply weren't designed for.

Transparent pricing that scales fairly

Chargebee starts at $299/month and quickly escalates as you grow, with additional charges for features like revenue recognition. JustPaid starts at just $50/month with all features included. Our pricing scales with your revenue, not your complexity. Plus, we're offering a 50% discount for early-stage companies—because we believe powerful billing automation shouldn't be reserved for enterprises.

Chargebee works well for simple subscription businesses with standard pricing. Choose JustPaid when:
