  • Plan Pro still caps clients at 50 and users at 3 for EUR 14/month, so any business with more clients must move to the unlimited EUR 23/month tier

Chargebee

  • Split into four separate product lines, Billing, CPQ, RevRec and Growth, each with its own tiers and most quote-only
  • CPQ Lite is free only for the first 50 quotes
  • Revenue recognition pricing is demo-only
  • Enterprise Plus requires an annual commitment
