Modern AI automation vs legacy enterprise complexity

Why growing companies choose JustPaid over Zuora

Zuora pioneered the subscription economy in 2007, building an enterprise platform that requires armies of consultants and months of implementation. While they've served Fortune 500 companies well, the modern B2B landscape demands agility, not complexity. Growing companies need billing automation that deploys in days, not quarters.

JustPaid represents the future of billing automation—powered by AI, deployed in days, and priced for growing companies. While Zuora requires extensive customization and professional services, JustPaid's autonomous AI handles everything from contract ingestion to intelligent collections out of the box. Here's how we compare:

Months of implementation vs days to value

Zuora implementations are legendary for their complexity—typically taking 3-6 months with teams of consultants, extensive customization, and hundreds of hours of configuration. Most companies spend $100K+ on professional services just to get started. JustPaid deploys in 3-7 days with zero professional services required. Our AI handles the complexity so you don't have to.

Enterprise pricing vs transparent scaling

Zuora's pricing starts at $75,000+ per year with additional costs for implementation, customization, and ongoing support. Total first-year costs often exceed $250,000, putting it out of reach for growing companies. JustPaid starts at $50/month and scales transparently with your revenue. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices, no multi-year contracts required.

Legacy architecture vs modern AI

Built in 2007, Zuora's architecture predates cloud-native design, AI automation, and modern development practices. Adding new features requires custom development, change requests, and additional fees. JustPaid was built from the ground up with AI at its core. Our system learns from your business, automates complex workflows, and continuously improves without any configuration required.

Consultants and customization vs out-of-the-box automation

Zuora's complexity requires armies of consultants—implementation specialists, solution architects, and ongoing support teams. Every change requires professional services. JustPaid works out of the box. No consultants, no customization, no complex configurations. Just upload your contracts and start billing in minutes, not months.

Enterprise-only vs accessible to all

Zuora's minimum contract size and implementation costs make it accessible only to large enterprises with dedicated billing teams and IT resources. JustPaid democratizes enterprise-grade billing automation. Whether you're a 5-person startup or a 500-person scaleup, you get the same powerful automation at a price that makes sense for your stage.

When to choose JustPaid over Zuora

Zuora makes sense for Fortune 500 companies with unlimited budgets and dedicated billing teams. Choose JustPaid when:

• You need enterprise-grade billing without enterprise-grade costs

No consultants, no project plans, no change management. Most companies are fully operational within a week, seeing immediate improvements in collection rates and cash flow.
