Replace Chargebee

Plans, proration, dunning and invoices layered on top of a payment processor.

Why teams move off Chargebee

Chargebee sits on top of your payment processor and holds the subscription state your application most needs to read.

What you give up

Dunning campaigns, revenue recognition and the finance reporting around them.

This directory says so when an engine only covers part of the job. A replacement that needs a caveat is still worth knowing about — it just should not surprise you in week three.

Questions

Is there an open-source alternative to Chargebee for Rails?
Yes — Pay. It mounts into an application you already run, so there is no second deployment and no second database.
What do I give up by replacing Chargebee?
Dunning campaigns, revenue recognition and the finance reporting around them.
How do I replace Chargebee in a Rails app?
Add pay to your Gemfile, mount it in config/routes.rb at /pay, and run its migrations. The whole integration is two lines and a migration.
How much does replacing Chargebee save?
Chargebee is priced free tier, then from $599/mo. The engines here are open source, so the cost becomes the time to mount one and the resources it uses inside your existing application.
