Chargebee

Chargebee makes subscription billing and revenue management software. It was founded in Chennai in 2011 by Krish Subramanian, Rajaraman Santhanam, Saravanan KP and Thiyagarajan Thiyagu. The company's product and engineering teams remain largely in Chennai, but its headquarters is now reported to be in San Francisco, and its customers are mainly SaaS and subscription businesses around the world.

The platform covers recurring billing, subscription management, invoicing, payments and collections (dunning), CPQ (configure-price-quote), revenue recognition and reporting. Chargebee now describes itself as revenue infrastructure for subscription, SaaS and AI businesses, including usage-based and hybrid pricing models. Chargebee integrates with payment gateways such as Stripe, Braintree and Razorpay, and with accounting and CRM systems including QuickBooks, Xero, Salesforce and HubSpot.

Chargebee sells online and through a direct sales team. Its published plans are priced in US dollars and start with a free tier up to a revenue threshold. Indian SaaS exporters use Chargebee to bill international customers, with support for multiple currencies, payment gateways and tax rules. For Indian companies selling software abroad, the platform handles multi-currency pricing, taxes in different jurisdictions and automated retries for failed card payments, which can reduce involuntary customer churn.

On its company page, Chargebee says it serves more than 6,500 businesses across 227 countries and territories, and it cites Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Recurring Billing Applications, where it was named a Leader. Krish Subramanian is CEO, and the company names DeepL, Lambda and Gorgias as customers. Implementation can be self-serve for small companies, while larger accounts receive onboarding support from the company.
