Ask HN: Suggestion on a service to manage user, pricing, plans

There are a few platforms for this sort of thing.

Chargify, Recurly, Chargebee.

I was in the same position as you 4 months ago and was looking for a solution. I looked at a lot of solutions but typically there were two problems. 1) did not have the integration I needed or was not flexible enough that I could build it and 2) they are all quite expensive. The billing is % based billing so if you have even a couple hundred clients the cost is very expensive.

I ended up building a billing system in house which will pay for itself in about 6 months compared to the systems above. The system I built integrates with ezidebit for payments and also supports payments by invoice, and also integrates into our accounting system Xero. I can easily add new payment methods if we need to change in the future. It has items to be able to manage plans and also usage based billing.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to help, feel free to email me [email protected]
