Why Migrate from Chargebee?
Businesses seeking better customization and flexibility might encounter limitations in Chargebee. For your convenience, let us present a feature-by-feature comparison between Chargebee and SubscriptionFlow. You can match these features with your business needs. This will give you a better perspective on which features you want in your software from the get-go.
Custom Workflows Automation
Chargebee Limitation: Businesses using Chargebee cannot fully tailor their processes according to specific needs. While Chargebee does allow for customization, it is not that extensive. This prevents the businesses from having fully customized workflows that run automatically.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: SubscriptionFlow offers custom workflows automation. It makes the businesses’ lives easier by letting them create, and tailor their processes according to specific requirements. Examples include trial expiry reminders, grace periods and dunning management.
Custom Objects
Chargebee Limitation: Chargebee does not allow businesses to create custom objects. Custom objects are additional subscription fields which businesses may require based on what they deal with. Examples of standard data fields are the customer name, subscription plan etc. Chargebee clients are limited to the fields available to them. They cannot customize and manage their own.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: Companies can create and store custom objects. This helps businesses keep additional data in the management system to match their unique needs. They are empowered to go beyond the standard data fields, and customize their dashboards however they like.
Module Customization on Checkout Pages
Chargebee Limitation: Businesses cannot customize the finer details on their checkout pages. They are restricted to more standard configurations.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: You can customize certain modules on your checkout pages to make them more brand-oriented. This enhances customers’ purchase experience, and boosts conversion chances.
Upsell & Cross-Sell
Chargebee Limitation: Chargebee limits the upsell and cross-sell potential of businesses. That is because it does not allow them to create subscription bundles and offers with as much flexibility. The system lacks deeply customizable add-on options as well.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: Businesses can offer customized bundles based on user preferences. They can also offer personalized product recommendations to retain existing customers. Add-ons can also be flexibly included in subscription bundles. The bundles can be assigned dynamic pricing.
White-Labelling
Chargebee Limitation: The platform does not offer full white-labeling when it comes to checkout pages. It does offer a level of customization, but it is limited, and the checkouts still follow a predefined structure.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: SubscriptionFlow offers more in-depth customizations in comparison. Businesses can leverage advanced branding options to create a strong brand perception.
Custom Schedulers
Chargebee Limitation: Businesses have to follow Chargebee’s automation rules. They cannot flexibly set up their own scheduled tasks. This can be a disadvantage for clients with unique operational needs.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: Users can automate certain actions according to their schedules. They can utilize custom billing logic to set up renewal reminders, and automate payment processing at specified time periods. This gives them a greater control over their subscription management.
Additional Data in HPPs
Chargebee Limitation: The software limits the information that can be displayed on its HPPs (hosted payment pages). For instance, brands might not be able to include customer-specific messages on their payment pages.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: Users can add more customized details onto the HPPs, such as customer-specific notes or promotional codes etc. This makes the payment pages appear more user friendly, and enhances the customers’ payment experience.
Multi-Organizational Setup
Chargebee Limitation: Chargebee’s support for a multi-organizational setup, or catering to different entities under the same account is limited. This is a requirement for business with complex structures. With Chargebee, they may find coordinating between different braches challenging.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: The software easily handles multiple entities from a single platform. SubscriptionFlow expertly manages each sub-organization’s account and its billing processes.
Role-Level Access
Chargebee Limitation: Chargebee limits role-level access. This means that businesses cannot flexibly assign a user to access specific data based on their role in the organization. While Chargebee does allow users to create custom roles and permissions, this customization is limited.
SubscriptionFlow Advantage: SubscriptionFlow, on the other hand, provides more granular control over role-based access and permissions. Businesses can flexibly create more roles, and define which users can access certain data under what conditions.
SubscriptionFlow Features That Stand Out
Apart from the features discussed above, SubscriptionFlow has some solutions in store that simply stand out from what its competitors, like Chargebee, offer. Some of them are as follows:
- Extensive Integrations Network
When it comes to managing extensive integrations, SubscriptionFlow is unrivalled. The platform connects users with a variety of third party applications, such as CRM, accounting software, ERP, e-commerce platforms, etc. These integrations cater to a wide range of businesses.
Companies can switch to SubscriptionFlow without abandoning the software already in their use. The platform ensures a smooth integration with those existing software via its flexible API. It enables data syncing so that your company can access all its data from a single platform, saving the hassle of going back and forth between multiple accounts to piece the data together.
Businesses are empowered to have access to a comprehensive suite of integrations to keep their operations running effortlessly.
- Multiple Payment Gateways
With SubscriptionFlow, you get linked to payment gateways in over 100 countries. Businesses can choose to integrate with both global and local payment platforms to sell beyond boundaries. Options include internationally renowned gateways such as PayPal, Stripe and Authorize.Net.
SubscriptionFlow also facilitates country specific payment platforms for unique business needs in those regions. Examples include Peach Payments in Africa, Iyzico in Turkey, and IfthenPay in Portugal. Companies can leverage the global payment platforms to cater to an international subscriber base. They can also connect with country-specific gateways to tap into the markets of certain countries, and attract local customers. Local payment gateway choices help businesses meet the transaction regulations of specific regions as well.
- Advanced AI Automation
SubscriptionFlow allows AI automation in some of its modules which saves users from repetitive processes, and facilitates quicker actions. Users can trigger operations based on commands.
Instead of following the standard steps to initiate an action, they can create predefined commands and put the operations into action. For instance, processes like invoice generation or customer renewals.
Moreover, businesses can also use AI backed mechanisms to personalize customer engagement. Examples include targeted payment reminders, and product recommendations for upselling. Businesses can also rely on AI automation to offer usage-based billing. The system tracks user activity, and identifies at-risk subscribers as well, so that the businesses can offer them discounts for maximum retention.
