Companies Using Chargebee

We detect Chargebee on 2,276 domains, including Fidelidade Group, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Sovos Compliance, LLC.. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Software Development (18.79%).

We detect 2,276 domains running Chargebee across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 1,145 of them (50.3%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 367 domains carried a Chargebee detection previously and no longer do.

Chargebee holds 0.03% of the Payment Processing category, ranking #29. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to Chargebee include PayPal (19.13% market share), Apple Pay (15.46% market share), Shop Pay (14.61% market share), Visa (10.79% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

United States leads with 474 matched Chargebee domains, followed by United Kingdom (140), Australia (80), Germany (56), Canada (45). These are counts within the 1,145 domains we could match to a company record, not the full detected base.

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 53.7% of the Chargebee domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 1,145 matched companies, not of all 2,276 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (32.45%) and 51-200 employees (11.11%).

Among the Chargebee domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, the largest group was founded in the 2010s (60.33%), followed by the 2020s (23.12%). That matched subset is drawn from 1,145 companies and is not representative of all 2,276 detected domains. This suggests Chargebee is most popular among relatively young companies.

The ideal Chargebee customer is: Company Size: 1-10 employees, Location: US, UK, or Australia, City: San Francisco, London, New York, Founded: 2010-2019, Company Age: ~7-15 years old — based on our analysis of 1,145 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

Chargebee was co-founded in 2011 in Chennai, India by Krish Subramanian, Rajaraman Santhanam, Saravanan KP, and Thiyagarajan T. The company is now headquartered in North Bethesda, Maryland. It maintains R&D operations in Chennai alongside its US headquarters and serves 6,500+ businesses globally, per Chargebee's published company profile.

Yes, and then some. Chargebee first hit unicorn status in 2021 at a $1.4 billion valuation. By 2024 it reached $3.5 billion, per Latka, after raising $468.2M in total funding from investors including Tiger Global, Sapphire Ventures, G Squared, and Insight Partners. The company reported $202.6M in 2024 revenue. It remains privately held as of 2026.

Yes. Chargebee's Starter plan is free for the first $250,000 in cumulative billing. It includes flexible billing (usage-based, subscriptions, hybrid), checkout pages, a self-serve portal, usage metering, multi-region tax support, and 35+ payment gateway integrations. After the $250K threshold, Chargebee charges a 0.75% overage fee on all subsequent billing.

Chargebee offers three pricing tiers. The Starter plan is free up to $250K in billing. The Performance plan costs $7,188 per year (billed monthly) for up to $100K in monthly billing, adding advance invoices, smart dunning, and migration support. The Enterprise plan has custom pricing for large organizations needing multi-entity support and account hierarchy.

Chargebee integrates with 35+ payment gateways including Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Adyen, Authorize.Net, GoCardless, and Worldpay. It also supports direct debit via ACH and SEPA. This multi-gateway approach lets businesses route payments by region or card type, based on Chargebee's official integrations documentation.

Yes. Chargebee is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of payment security compliance. This means Chargebee processes, stores, and transmits cardholder data under strict security controls audited annually. Businesses using Chargebee don't need to handle raw card data themselves, reducing their own PCI compliance burden.

Chargebee automates recurring billing, subscription management, invoicing, and revenue recognition for subscription-based businesses. It handles plan creation, proration, dunning (failed payment recovery), coupon management, and tax calculations. Our data shows 51% of Chargebee customers are in software and IT, with growing adoption in e-learning, financial services, and media.

They operate at different layers, and our data shows it: Chargebee runs on top of a payment processor rather than in place of one, so the overlap with processors is persistent rather than competitive. Chargebee's advantage is billing-logic flexibility — complex plans, usage-based pricing, entitlements — where Stripe Billing is simpler and tied to Stripe as the processor. Note our 2,276 detected domains understate Chargebee heavily: it reports 18,000+ customers, and most integrations run server-side where no crawler can see them.

Yes. Chargebee supports usage-based, subscription, and hybrid billing models on all plans, including the free Starter tier. It includes custom usage metering and aggregation for tracking consumption metrics like API calls, storage, or seats. Per Chargebee's published documentation, the platform can bill on prepaid credits, post-paid usage, or tiered usage models.

Our data strongly suggests yes. Over 51% of Chargebee's customers operate in software and IT verticals. The platform handles plan changes, prorations, trial management, and dunning automation that SaaS businesses need. G2 reviewers cite subscription management (109 mentions) and ease of use (146 mentions) as top strengths, based on 953 total reviews.

Companies currently detected running Chargebee include Sovos Compliance, Williams F1 (shop.williamsf1.com), Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Kaltura, Artlist, BeatStars, Tomorrowland (academy.tomorrowland.com), Fidelidade, Universal Weather, Oregon Catholic Press, and Numerade. The list is broader than "SaaS billing" implies — video, music licensing, education, publishing, motorsport and events all appear, because any business billing the same customer monthly has the same problem to solve.

Yes. Gartner named Chargebee a Leader in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Recurring Billing Applications, positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision among all evaluated vendors. It was the second consecutive year Chargebee received Leader status. Chargebee also holds #1 in Subscription Management on G2 for 27 consecutive quarters with a 4.4-star average from 920+ verified reviews.

Yes, though the detected base skews small: 53.7% of Chargebee domains belong to companies with 1-10 employees and only one organisation in our 1,145-company enriched sample has 10,001+ employees. That understates the picture badly, because most enterprise Chargebee integrations run server-side through the API where no crawler can see them — Chargebee reports 18,000+ customers against our 2,276 detected domains. The Enterprise plan adds multi-entity support, account hierarchy, on-demand discounting, and contract terms.
