Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Billit

  • Annual billing required to get approximately 15% discount (one free month included)
  • Additional user seats cost €5 per user per month on top of plan price
  • Overage pricing per document decreases with tier, penalizing rapid growth within a tier

Maxio

  • Entry-level Grow plan starts at $599/month, making it costly for very early-stage startups.
  • Pricing above the Grow tier requires a custom quote rather than transparent self-serve pricing.
  • Focused specifically on B2B SaaS billing, so it lacks general e-commerce checkout or consumer payment features found in platforms like FastSpring.
  • Advanced features like multi-entity support and expense amortization are gated behind paid add-ons.
