The short version

  • Only Dinero has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Chargebee priced as a percentage of billing, 0.80 percent on pay-as-you-go or 0.65 percent plus $99 a month on the committed plan, so the fee rises with revenue; Dinero free Starter plan is capped to businesses with revenue under 100,000 kr, forcing an upgrade to Starter+ at 245 kr/md (annual) once that threshold is crossed
