Pabbly Subscription Billing
One-time and recurring billing with a built-in affiliate module and zero transaction fees
About Pabbly Subscription Billing
Pabbly Subscription Billing is a recurring billing and checkout platform from Pabbly (Magnet Brains) that lets businesses sell one-time and subscription products through hosted, embedded, or popup checkout pages. It connects to 35+ payment gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, and Square, handles dunning, tax rules, invoicing, and subscription changes, and includes a multi-tier affiliate module. Pricing is a flat monthly fee by customer count, with no per-transaction fees charged by Pabbly.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Flat pricing with no per-transaction fees, so costs don't scale with revenue the way Chargebee or Recurly fees do
- Supports 35+ payment gateways, including many regional ones for India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America
- Built-in multi-tier affiliate module removes the need for a separate affiliate tool
- Unlimited products, plans, checkout pages, and team members on paid plans
- Large library of video tutorials for setup
- SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 certified
Cons
- Free plan caps you at 50 customers and excludes payment retries, API access, tax management, and support
- Affiliate module requires the top Unlimited plan
- Only one custom domain per account, which complicates running several brands
- Not a merchant of record, so you remain responsible for remitting sales tax and VAT
- Smaller review base and ecosystem than established billing platforms like Chargebee or Stripe Billing
