It has an extremely user-friendly dashboard where you can manage different products and plans

When I first started using Pabbly Subscriptions I was struggling with recurring bills and subscription payments for my business. It helped me create products, plans, and provided every detail related to my subscriptions. It has been almost a year since purchasing the product and I am managing…

Zuora Developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Subscription billing has transformed contract management and now automates complex workflows

There is not much change required in the product itself, but I feel some of the documentation for developers needs improvement. Not everything that is being developed in Zuora is available in the documentation. Clear documentation is needed that explains what will happen if you go one route versus another. Comparing to the last two years, Zuora is very well designed now and well updated. On each release, they are bringing something new which is very helpful. Currently, 80% to 85% of everything is working well for me. The remaining 15% relates to new features that were released recently, for which we do not have hands-on experience. If we had that hands-on training, we could understand how these features will be useful. The documentation that has been provided exists, but it is not particularly useful. They simply simplify the documentation to say this is the step where you have to go and configure, but we need to understand the use of it, when we would use those configurations, and when we would develop with them.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It has been almost a year since purchasing the product and I am managing unlimited customer details, products, revenue, and one-time, recurring payments from different payment gateways."

"The Reporting Dashboard offered by Pabbly is its most valuable feature. This section provides detailed reports related to monthly recurring revenue, new subscriptions, customer details, etc."

"Pabbly Subscriptions has an extremely user-friendly dashboard where you can manage different products and plans."

"I am happy with the support team."

"Zuora has positively impacted our organization by significantly reducing manual efforts, and we just need to keep our data healthy and that is all."

"I like that the UI is great and easily explainable."

"The tool's most valuable aspect is its evolution. When I first worked on it, it was a simple platform that handled accounts and basic invoicing. Over the years, I've seen many changes that have enabled it to support complex projects. The help desk now provides solutions for these projects, which wasn't initially possible. The most important thing about Zuora is its ability to handle complexity through workflows, essentially automating the invoicing process."

"Zuora has positively impacted my organization as it is primarily used for financial records, including billings and other business needs for the business team."

"Zuora is an end-to-end solution that handles orders, payments, and licensing. Its robust billing engine manages all billing aspects, including debit memos. Zuora's rate plan charges offer the flexibility needed in the subscription business, allowing for easy product configuration."

"It has made billing a reliable business function and provided the structure needed to optimize all of our billing processes."

"Automated invoicing is great and makes the process easier than it was five years ago."

More Zuora pros

Cons

"Payment gateway options are very limited, utilizing only PayPal and Stripe. Pabbly Subscriptions should include some other popular gateways for customer comfort."

"We feel the deployment and version comparison process could be easier when switching between different systems."

"When we raise global support tickets, we receive delayed responses."

"I believe the pricing is quite high for some companies using Zuora."

"Unlike Zoho, the main page doesn't contain everything. You have to click a button to reveal multiple options; even within those, there are further layers of options to navigate through."

"There have been some bugs which Zuora support has been unable to fix until now."

"It would benefit from more features designed to recoup revenue in B2C scenarios."

"While fetching the data, I had faced some issues."

"I would build dynamic retry functionalities directly into the core product and enhance their integrations with all payment gateways."

More Zuora cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Unlike other subscription analytics solutions, Pabbly Subscriptions has no per transaction cost or hidden charges."

"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable."

"Explore multiple options for implementation."

"The tiered pricing model is costly."

"The solution is worth the price."
