I wish I found this sooner
Reviewed on 13/09/2019
I use Filemaker pro. I used to have to keep track of client information such as billing period and contact them to get the authorization to charge them each period. It was really ridiculous. Now everything is completely automated. Chargify does everything and sends me notifications to let me know how things are going. My experience has been a ten and I hope Chargify does more marketing so that more business can be sure to find them.
Pros
The customer service at Chargify is unmatched. While within your account you can choose to chat with a representative who is competent and will quickly solve whatever issue or question you have. They are able to provide direct links within your account to help you navigate and set up whatever you are trying to do.
Chargify allows you to set up several different billing strategies easily and efficiently. The possibilities are endless. The support center is extremely detailed and helps you gain a full working knowledge of all the available features so that you can be sure to take advantage of them.
Cons
You get what you pay for and the steep price of this comes with steep rewards and benefits. If you paid less you still wouldn't get half of what they have to offer.

Very good for specific use cases, with other functionality not adequate
Reviewed on 10/09/2019
We wanted to manage subscriptions, feed quickbooks with info for revenue reporting, and track churn/MRR/ARR. But, we can only manage subscriptions with it and can' achieve the other goals.
Pros
Good APIs
Easy setup
Simple UI
Lots of analytics
Good at monthly subscriptions with credit card billing
Cons
Non-monthly subscriptions are not handled well and not incorporated into MRR/ARR properly when there are mid-cycle change
Revenue recognition severely lacking for anything but monthly, credit card subscriptions
Invoice handling severely lacking
Integration capabilities for quickbooks are inadequate for anything but monthly credit card subscriptions
Webhooks almost there but key data points are missing from key webhooks, like a customer ID on an invoice generated or invoice payment

Glad we switched to Chargify
Reviewed on 10/09/2019
Pros
Chargify makes it very easy to run a subscription based business. We offer various monthly plans with configurable options and Chargify has a ton of features which allows us to configure and adjust products, plans, prices and options. It is extremely flexible and has saved us hundreds of hours managing our clients payment process - especially with self service pages and dunning.
Cons
Not sure if this is a configuration issue, however I recently saw a list of "unpaid" customers. I think Chargify can do a better job of notifying me if a customer has an unpaid balance which is growing. After 4 attempts of failed dunning, Chargify needs to send alert to me.

Chargify as a software and service has provided us with a good experience.
Pros
The Customer Success team at Chargify is wonderful. You can go to them with any questions or concerns you have and if they don't know they answer, they will get one for you. They have made working with Chargify a joy and have helped us to adapt and alter the product to help it work best for us and our business needs.
Cons
There are parts of the software that are hard to figure out how to use without completing additional research. Chargify does have great Help articles, but it would be nice if the software was more user friendly so you don't have to refer to the Help items.

Perfect for our needs
Reviewed on 05/09/2019
It's been reliable, easy to understand and easy to use. Exactly what you want in this type of product. Having to custom-write our own billing and payment system to automate everything would have been a mess and would have us running around trying to deal with edge cases that Chargify handles perfectly.
Pros
Using Chargify has saved us hundreds of hours of custom development, and half a dozen hours each month of maintenance and administrative effort. It let us accomplish nearly everything we wanted to do with our monthly based pricing model.
Cons
It would be nice to have features to send one-off charges to existing clients, where you don't want them to recur.

A rock solid billing platform lacking just a few search related features.
Reviewed on 19/02/2019
Solid and extensible, which is what we wanted, but plenty of room for improvement in admin, search, and reporting areas.
Pros
The platform is fully featured as far meeting as our needs for recurring annual billing for software licenses. It has a fast interface, the API is solid for website related coding, and the
Cons
The admin area is lacking in features. No real ability to generate custom reports, though they have some details reports but the drill down is limited. The search/filter capabilities are poor in most screens. They recently added a global search ability, which is handy for simple account related detail, but presents only a short list, and can only select one account each time, so no good for bulk searches. The main list screens for transactions and subscriptions is severely lacking in searchable parameters. For example, searching transactions exposes only date range and a type. No other transaction data is available to search against. This lack of back end admin features appears in other areas too, such as the web hooks panel.

Chargify is a great subscription management tool
Reviewed on 10/09/2019
overall, we have a very positive experience with chargify. It fulfills 95% of our daily business needs. Great service!
Pros
I like how easy it is to use and how seamless it integrates with other online apps (shopify, mailchimp etc)
Cons
I wish the email tool allowed for you to style emails better. The user interface is clunky and limited. Also I wish the integration with mailchimp passed along the subscription status of "pending cancellation". That way we could set up an automatic email campaign in mailchimp that is sent to users who change their status. It would help us save subscribers before they cancel.

Strong product, responsive product and support team
Reviewed on 12/02/2019
We use Chargify for all of our billing processing. It covers the vast majority of our needs very ably. I am the primary user, but don't negotiate the contract, so I can't speak to value for the money.
Pros
Easy to use, new features make it more flexible for our business. Amazing support team and a product team that is interested in feedback and actually implements it!
Cons
There are some limitations in terms of how it can be used. Our pricing has become more flexible, which is a challenge with the need to pre-set product and discount types.

I have had a very good experience with Chargify. They feel like a business partner as well as a software provider - it feels quite personal.
Pros
I like how easy it is to integrate with a website
Cons
There is nothing I dislike about Chargify. The only slight challenge is that you have to have a separate payment provider to hook it up to so that payments can be taken, but Chargify does a really good job of subscription-based payments and website integration.

Pretty Great To Use!
Reviewed on 18/02/2019
Pros
I didn't choose this software, my employer did. But while I've never taken them up on training, I've been very easily able to navigate through the program and do what I need to do. It's very easy, I like the look and feel of everything and I've never had a problem. Whenever I needed it, support staff have been easy and quick to reach/respond and they've successfully helped me every time. If I ran my own business, I'd probably use Chargify for my online billing needs.
Cons
Nothing really. Haven't ever had an issue.

Solid. I don't worry about our auto-billing as Chargify deals with this for me. One less thing to worry about.
Pros
Straightforward. Does what we want for client billing. Reliable and cannot remember an issues where transactions did not go through due to an issue with Chargify.
Cons
Not much to say on this. Perhaps not being able to refund transactions older then the past 3.

Great for B2C products, not great yet for B2B
Pros
Simple to set up, easy to manage sign up pages, and automated dunning works well.
Cons
Until recently there was no revenue recognition. The main ledger is a merge of all different types of data so it's hard to use.
We moved away because our use case has customers not activated simultaneously with the payment (manual activation is required) which is common in B2B and that is just not supported well.

Pros
Easy to get an overview of our client's subscription plan and payment options.
Makes invoicing process much easier for us.
Cons
Could be a little more flexible. For exemple, some clients with overdue payments call us to notify that they sent us a cheque. But we can't switch Payment method from Automatic to Invoicing until they pay by credit card.

Thanks to Chargify we are not limited to just one way of working. Being able to use the webhooks and API's are going to come in handy and allow us to create an eco-system for our customers.
