The short version
- Only Billit has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Billit annual billing required to get approximately 15% discount (one free month included); Zuora pricing includes a component tied to the volume you bill, so the fee rises with your own commercial success in a way a flat platform charge does not, and the renewal conversation after a strong year is a different negotiation from the original one.

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
Zuora
- Pricing includes a component tied to the volume you bill, so the fee rises with your own commercial success in a way a flat platform charge does not, and the renewal conversation after a strong year is a different negotiation from the original one.
- Implementation is a multi quarter project that normally requires a systems integrator, so the first year cost is dominated by services rather than subscription, and the internal cost of finance and engineering time on catalogue and process design is larger still.
- Product catalogue decisions made during implementation constrain what you can price and report for years, and changing them later means reworking live subscriptions and the revenue history attached to them rather than editing a configuration.
- It is a subsidiary system rather than the general ledger, so someone has to own the reconciliation between billing, revenue and the accounts every period, and a mapping error surfaces as an unexplained variance in the close rather than as an obvious failure.
- Billing and revenue are separate products with separate implementations, so a company that buys billing first and adds revenue later runs a second project against data models that were not designed together in the first place.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Billit: What does Billit Starter plan include and how much does it cost?
Billit Starter is €7.50 per month (or €22.92 per month with annual billing, roughly 15% off) and supports up to 25 documents per month. All plans include Peppol e-invoicing, invoice customization, quotes, mobile app, bank integration, and payment reminders. Extra documents over the limit cost €0.50 each.
SourceZuora: When is a company ready for Zuora rather than a simpler billing tool?
When the pricing model breaks the simpler tool: mid term amendments, ramps, usage tiers, multi entity billing or a revenue recognition requirement. Companies with flat monthly plans and few changes do not need it and will not enjoy paying for it.
Billit: How much does it cost to add team members to a Billit account?
The first user is included in your plan. Additional team members cost €5 per user per month. Bookkeepers and accountants can access the accountant portal for free.
SourceZuora: Does Zuora replace our accounting system?
No. It is a billing and revenue subledger that posts journals to your general ledger. You still need the ledger and someone owning the reconciliation between them.
Billit: What is the difference between Billit Growth and Professional plans?
Billit Growth is €25/month for up to 500 documents monthly (€0.25 per overage). Professional is €250/month for up to 1,000 documents monthly (€0.15 per overage). Both include all features; the only differences are document limit and overage rates.
SourceZuora: How long does an implementation take?
Plan in quarters. Catalogue design, order to cash process definition, data migration of existing subscriptions and ledger mapping each take real time, and the migration of live contracts is usually the hardest part.
Zuora: Does it calculate sales tax and VAT?
It integrates with third party tax engines rather than maintaining rates itself. Budget for that engine as a separate subscription and a separate integration.
Zuora: What changed when the company was taken private in 2025?
Ownership, not the product. As with any private equity owned platform, pay attention to renewal pricing behaviour and to roadmap commitments made verbally rather than contractually.
Zuora: Can we migrate our existing subscriptions in?
Yes, and it is the part of the project people underestimate. Every live contract has to arrive with its amendment history intact if the revenue schedules are to be right, so the migration is an accounting exercise as much as a data one.
