[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/maxio-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/maxio-profile/alternatives/) # Maxio User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.3/5 - Total reviews: 255 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.1/5 - Customer support: 4.3/5 - Value for money: 4.0/5 - Functionality: 4.1/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 136 reviews (53%) - 4 stars: 89 reviews (35%) - 3 stars: 18 reviews (7%) - 2 stars: 2 reviews (1%) - 1 star: 10 reviews (4%) ### Most mentioned pros - Customer support is top tier and we walk around from every session knowing more than when we began. - Ability to make parent/child accounts and manage add-ons was a nice upgrade from stripe. - We started with Maxio and grew our business for several years. ### Most mentioned cons - They do not have a phone number and can never give an ETA on providing fixes to errors in their own software. - We weren't instructed that we needed to enable 3D Secure in Braintree, which lead to a host of client issues with the public signup pages, multiple support tickets dragged out over weeks, and thousands in lost revenue. - Maxio has consistent errors created by themselves that do not allow you to send invoices. ## Maxio customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 255 (page 1). ### Solid App for Recurring Revenue Businesses - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Michael K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used unspecified for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We use Chargify as the transactional backbone of our recurring revenue businesses. It is solid in its capabilities, adequately flexible for our needs, and has a very good set of API's that have allowed us to incorporate Chargify's system into our software platform. Chargify's reporting and email functions are very basic and don't give us the detailed SaaS metrics we need in order to keep a good handle on the business. However, a robust ecosystem of complementary tools such as, for example, ChartMogul, have evolved to add much more precision to Chargify's reporting. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 #### Pros - Wide flexibility to create different recurring revenue offers (trial/no-trial, credit card/no credit card, monthly/quarterly/annual, coupon and discount codes, etc.) - Integration with a large number of payment gateways - Robust API's - Broad flexibility (via CSS) for styling public-facing pages - Takes care of all the messy details of maintaining credit cards - Referral codes and links - Good, comprehensive documentation #### Cons - Reporting is weak, especially on metrics for managing recurring revenue businesses, such as MRR (monthly recurring revenue), churn rates, ARPA (average revenue per account), etc; must use 3rd party applications to get these, using imported Chargify data - Email notifications are primitive - Coupons cannot be assigned to individual products --- ### Maxio review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bolortuya N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It was a good experience, the implementation team was great and really helpful. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Maxio allows us to integrate with our other core services like QBO and Hubspot, also it better tracks our yearly and monthly reoccurring revenue. #### Cons Since the platform is massive it is hard to learn and navigate, a steep learning curve. #### Reasons for switching to Maxio We needed a better revenue recognition tool that syncs with QBO. --- ### There are better options - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Alexander Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We started with Maxio and grew our business for several years. It was easy to get started and the charts showing MRR were quite helpful. However eventually it just proved to be a very expensive solution and we switched to PayWhirl. Cancelling was very complicated, and soured us on the solution. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It was fairly easy to get started, and interface made it easy to set up a payment page. #### Cons Hard to cancel, high fixed fees. Customer service was not good. --- ### Glad we switched to Chargify - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jordan G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Chargify makes it very easy to run a subscription based business. We offer various monthly plans with configurable options and Chargify has a ton of features which allows us to configure and adjust products, plans, prices and options. It is extremely flexible and has saved us hundreds of hours managing our clients payment process - especially with self service pages and dunning. #### Cons Not sure if this is a configuration issue, however I recently saw a list of "unpaid" customers. I think Chargify can do a better job of notifying me if a customer has an unpaid balance which is growing. After 4 attempts of failed dunning, Chargify needs to send alert to me. #### Reasons for choosing Maxio Gave it a trial and was simple to use and liked the self service pages #### Reasons for switching to Maxio PayPal did not make it easy to update CC info when expired. --- ### Amazing Analytics - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matt C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Again, the people have been incredible to work with. Management of imported historical data is not user friendly, but the management analytics functionality is pretty powerful. I am hoping they implement some of the invoicing customization/flexibility we need. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The reporting that comes from SaaSOptics is a game changer. It gives our management the information they need to understand the health of our subscription business and make critical strategic decisions. It also allows us to present our business in the most valuable light to outside parties evaluating our business. The subscription management features of the business are very helpful in managing renewals. The people at SaaSOptics are great to work with #### Cons The implementation was more challenging than we expected We had a lot of data that was not necessarily structured for a seamless import into SaasSOptics. this added a lot of time and resource to our implementation. The invoicing is not as flexible as we would like. #### Reasons for choosing Maxio Reporting capabilities and Salesforce.com integration. --- ### Amazing billing flexibility - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ed N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Sports - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall very good. The software is quite complex to fully understand and the sales process could be a bit more transparent. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The ability to flexibly manage our subscription products. Our previous management system for direct debits did not offer the flexibility other than to set up and cancel a direct debit subscription. Chargify now allows us to administer multiple things including placing accounts on hold, changing billing date, changing amounts etc. #### Cons We started using the software, integrating with GoCardless. We were one of the first to use this new integration and there were and still are a few limitations. However, the customer support has been excellent and they are very receptive to accommodating our enhancements and feature requests. #### Reasons for choosing Maxio Better sales and customer service from Chargify, and they clearly demonstrated the product and how it would fit our needs. Chargebee system seemed too complex. #### Reasons for switching to Maxio Lack of flexibility to manage subscriptions via GoCardless, plus this system was not able to manage communications to customers. We still use GoCardless as our payment merchant, but use Chargify to make the management of our direct debit subscriptions more elastic! --- ### Very good for specific use cases, with other functionality not adequate - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: James S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We wanted to manage subscriptions, feed quickbooks with info for revenue reporting, and track churn/MRR/ARR. But, we can only manage subscriptions with it and can' achieve the other goals. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Good APIs Easy setup Simple UI Lots of analytics Good at monthly subscriptions with credit card billing #### Cons Non-monthly subscriptions are not handled well and not incorporated into MRR/ARR properly when there are mid-cycle change Revenue recognition severely lacking for anything but monthly, credit card subscriptions Invoice handling severely lacking Integration capabilities for quickbooks are inadequate for anything but monthly credit card subscriptions Webhooks almost there but key data points are missing from key webhooks, like a customer ID on an invoice generated or invoice payment #### Reasons for choosing Maxio Blend of features and simplicity, unfortunately some of the features I hoped we would have did not pan out #### Reasons for switching to Maxio Grow out of the old product --- ### Solid product, good support, stable - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dave G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Good solid stable software that simply works. Never have to worry that my recurring rev is going to be charged correctly and on time. Integrates with my other tools well. The dunning feature is critical for any recurring business and yours works well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Good solid program, works well for Saas companies. Integrates well with payment processors. Good support. Manages products well. #### Cons Needs a clone feature for products. Needs upsell/downsell feature. Was suprised when you initiated a percentage fee on sales when it was inititally a monthly set cost. #### Reasons for choosing Maxio I didnt I own both because I need the upsell feature. #### Reasons for switching to Maxio Stability and security --- ### We rely heavily on Chargify for Platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carlin W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Customizing payment options and plans within one account for multiple different enterprises. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Our software is primarily a subscription based service with various enterprise clients that all have different needs for their representatives. This means we have to tailor the pricing models based on the services these clients are using. Chargify makes it easy to quickly ascertain our revenues and churn rates and also identify key areas of improvement. Chargify is a robust platform we have chosen to implement and will continue to support. #### Cons Due to the extensive features Chargify has, it can be quite daunting at first glance for someone not experienced with running different kinds of reports. However, once they get up and running, the process gets smoother, but it is an initially steep learning curve in my opinion. #### Reasons for choosing Maxio Ease of use and the amount of features available. --- ### Relationship invoicing has constant bugs, can't rely on Chargify - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Dave T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered There has been a LOT of ongoing frustration on as they slowly fix bugs. We signed up and used some very new features of Chargify that weren't ready for prime-time. They didn't tell us we'd be guinea pigs when signing us up for a service with a $$$$ premium price tag. Hopefully anyone that follows will benefit from our testing of the software. Obviously Chargify isn't doing sufficient testing internally. I regret choosing Chargify, but don't have the time to drop them yet. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Good fit for monthly SaaS, if not using the buggy relationship invoicing/customer hierarchies #### Cons Relationship invoicing and customer hierarchies have been continuously buggy. Basic features like partial refunds were missing at first, or partially functional. Support response is quick, but unhelpful. Escalation takes a while for a permanent fix. We're having to add a secondary system for managing our customer subscriptions to work around all of the errors in Chargify. We have ongoing retraining of our employees for bug work-arounds. #### Reasons for switching to Maxio Relationship billing, better fit for SaaS --- ### Maxio review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Alyson G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to export data and the UI/UX is pretty good #### Cons Not easy to track things compared to NetSuite --- ### A fantastic and much-needed platform for growing SaaS businesses - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrei Z. - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, I'd say that SaaSOptics has, after some up-front work to get it configured to our requirements, completely delivered on the lofty expectations we had for it. We have a two-person finance team managing a business that's doing >$15M of ARR. As you can imagine, these brave souls simply would not have time to pull together the sort of deep multi-faceted business intelligence reports and ongoing analytics that SaaSOptics gives us at basically the push of a button. It's been a very important tool for us as we manage growth and optimize our revenue streams. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros SaaSOptics is incredibly flexible and the only solution of its kind that we've seen successfully integrate both Salesforce and Quickbooks in a way that actually dramatically saves time and improves data integrity. We test drove some competing solutions (all far more expensive) and, unfortunately, many of them actually created more issues for us than they solved. #### Cons The flip side of the incredible level of flexibility/customizability that SaaSOptics has is that it is not the simplest solution to learn to work with. While recent updates continue to simplify and enhance the UX, it's still a tool best suited for "power users" and takes some time to learn and use to its fullest extent. If you expect this to be "plug and play", you will be disappointed and not get the full value of the solution. With that said, it was certainly no more complex or challenging than implementing Salesforce.com for the first time, which is basically a rite of passage for most SaaS companies, so I would not let the learning curve deter you from investing in SaaSOptics. Our experience is that benefits of the time-saving workflows and powerful reporting far outweigh the time investment required to get ramped up. Their support has always been excellent and responsive as well, which makes a big difference with a more complex product like this. --- ### Future invoices, Tax options & Client Billing (info) Profiles - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Grace D. - Industry: Accounting - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I do enjoy how easy it is to raise credits/invoices & sync these transactions to Quick Books from SaaSOptics. It is also very easy to reverse revenue by raising the transaction from the contract. The main issues I have, however, with this software can be narrowed down to - Future invoices, Tax options & Client Billing (info) Profiles: 1. I keep a self-maintained spreadsheet with future invoice details due to the following: Future invoices are not always pulling when the date is current; they are not appearing in the order processing (ready to bill) list within SaaSOptics because the 'e-invoice queue' check mark is dropping off. To avoid errors, to ensure that the client receives their invoice when the date is current, I track this info on a spreadsheet outside of SaaS. 2. I keep a maintained spreadsheet with billing profile information for our clients due to the following: Inconsistencies on the billing profiles between SaaSOptics, Sales Force & Quickbooks. Billing information can not be trusted, ease of use could be improved to avoid syncing headaches. To avoid errors, to ensure that the client receives their invoice with correct billing info, I track this info on a spreadhsset, outside of Saas. 3. I keep a maintained spreadsheet with tax tables and user tax details due to the following: The inability to add multiple sales tax rates in SaaSOptics / Quickbooks. Ease of use could be improved by allowing multiple rates to be added into the system & allowing tax addresses to be saved in the system. I calculate tax outside of SaaS/QB, maintain this info for reporting purposes & manually enter tax details on the tax line in QB/SaaS. My other option would be to create line items for tax ( I have discussed this option with QB) but then it would pull into SaaSOptics as a product line (not tax) which would in turn throw the financial summary out of balance. Total invoice line items scheduled would increase by the tax amount which would not balance to the revenue. 4. I pull data & cross-compare SaaSOptics with Quickbooks to fix the tax errors due to the incorrect sales tax rate is generating on the invoice. If the sales tax is blank in Quick Books but is set to taxable in SaaSOptics, an "inactive" rate pulls onto the invoice which is not at the correct rate. At the same time, when I pull this info, I also cross-compare against my self maintained spreadsheet to correct errors on the billing profiles. Thank you for your time! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Financial Summary - Overview of account #### Cons Tax options --- ### Great tool & great support - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Suzanne M. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. SaaS Optics does exactly what it's supposed to do & does it in a clean & clear way. Revenue recognition is complicated but they've made it so much less onerous. It's a very good idea to spend the time on the training so you can utilize the system fully - there are lots valuable tools that will save you time & confusion (ask me how I know this.) Support is on point, all the time. I never have to wait long for a response & they always address my questions or requests thoroughly. The software & site is very reliable & stable as well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The Home screen! Love to have tons of information & links to information & processes all in one handy place. Also, they aren't wasting my time waiting for pages to load because they had to gussy it up with a lot of graphics. #### Cons There needs to be a way to set different user access levels. Also, I sometimes can't figure out how to get particular information from reports. Also, often auditors want to see the daily revenue recognition schedule & we can't seem to get that. I assume because it would be a gigantic report. I wish there were a few more embedded links. For instance, every time I change the closing date, it kind of drives me crazy that I can't just click on the date to update it, or click on "Closing Date" but instead have to click on "Update Settings." A bit more click-ficiency would be super appreciated. ;) --- ### Good software, but requires a lot of work - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall we like Chargify, and love their support team. The product has gotten a lot more expensive since we started with them, but when everything is working it's really one of the best platforms I've ever used. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The ease of basic setup, integration with payment processors and basic product functions are great. The API is also very functional and pretty nice to work with. #### Cons The customization options are a bit hamfisted and difficult to work with. I like that Chargify gives the option of using their checkout page but I hate that it takes custom javascript to make basic text changes. Feel like the software generally does everything I need, but sometimes you need to call support and get a "cheat" to make it work. Unfortunately we have also had several incidents over the last few years where bugs in chargify's software have cost us money. --- ### Hands down best product on the market. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Megan S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The easiest billing software that I've come across. And I've encountered many. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Above all else, their instant online CHAT SUPPORT should be an industry standard. I have had some crazy, custom expert level scenarios with which I have tried to "stump the chump", and every time, they have not only helped me come up with a great solution, but walk me through how to implement it. Their support staff have real personalities, you can actually feel the ownership they have for the product when they assist you in the areas of the software that you need help with. They are fun, and professional at the same time. A client came to me with this already in place, and I'll recommend them to every client I have who needs this software, all day, every day. #### Cons Since there is a 100 character limit that I must fill, I'll just sit here and type whatever comes to mind. There isn't one con. Wait. Maybe one. Nope. Can't think of it. --- ### Very Good Product - Some features need fine tuning - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Danielle O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We always struggled with the follow up on outstanding invoices. Using the Cadences has helped us bring old accounts up to date and chase our money! This has been an outstanding improvement to our overall business practices. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like using transactions to drive invoice creation rather than relying on Quick Books memorized transaction lists to produce recurring charges. It's easier to make mid term changes and to track revenue growth as well as projecting future revenue based on transactions and auto-renewals. #### Cons A few of the newer features have some bugs, ie: Statements dont show CURRENT invoices, and they also dont reflect all payments made (it's a little glitchy). One of the biggest drawbacks is that the autopay feature is set at the CLIENT level. For monthly subscribers (on autopay) who purchase development time (which we give net 30 terms to), it's a headache to manage in order to ensure that they do not get charged when they dont' authorize it. Many of these customers would prefer to pay by check for the larger invoices and when they are autopay customers, we are constantly adjusting due dates to avoid an auto-charge. Changing this setting to a default client setting, with the option to turn it off on the invoice or even the contract level would be a FANTASTIC upgrade for us and I'm sure for many other users. --- ### Solid for what it is supposed to do... - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Adrian M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's a good solution. I'd like the ability to pull full raw data from Chargify as well. I think being able to pull full raw data at the line level - all changes, etc. - can allow an organization to not just use Chargify reports and dashboards, but create their own based on their specific needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I like the ability to pull specific reporting like recurring revenue and sales data. The ability to see customer sales transactions and movement is great as well. #### Cons I'd like to see easier implementation with Salesforce. Now that Salesforce acquired Tableau, the reporting from Chargify can be used to pull into Salesforce for different reporting views that Chargify may not capture. Or, in some cases, Tableau is the norm for the company, not Chargify, so ease of use to share the data. --- ### Reliable Billing System - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Janelle D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Chargify is easy to use for the most part. Dashboard's great, especially revenue comparisons between this month and last month. Our customers do not have direct access to their Chargify account, so I like being able to share a link via email so they can update their billing information. The "transactions" tab provides a quick view of the latest transactions which comes in handy. It's easy to setup new products and coupons. "Site activity" provides a great view of payment success/failure as well as sign up failures, etc. Support has been responsive when I've needed assistance. #### Cons I would like to be able to cancel a handful of Sponsored User accounts but cannot do it without affecting the churn rate. --- ### A rock solid billing platform lacking just a few search related features. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Justin P. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Solid and extensible, which is what we wanted, but plenty of room for improvement in admin, search, and reporting areas. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros The platform is fully featured as far meeting as our needs for recurring annual billing for software licenses. It has a fast interface, the API is solid for website related coding, and the #### Cons The admin area is lacking in features. No real ability to generate custom reports, though they have some details reports but the drill down is limited. The search/filter capabilities are poor in most screens. They recently added a global search ability, which is handy for simple account related detail, but presents only a short list, and can only select one account each time, so no good for bulk searches. The main list screens for transactions and subscriptions is severely lacking in searchable parameters. For example, searching transactions exposes only date range and a type. No other transaction data is available to search against. This lack of back end admin features appears in other areas too, such as the web hooks panel. --- ### Great product. Easy to setup and use. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sandra J. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We have a self-serve SAAS service and Chargify helps us automate the charging and statements as well as providing customers with a way to manage their information, plan choices and payment details. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Chargify is a great product. Great for smaller business. I like that it's fairly simple and intuitive for setup and use. The UI is great and easy to navigate. Support are very responsive and friendly. They take initiative to help and advise customers through developments in subscription charging and often introduce useful new features to the tool. Always striving to improve. API is good too. #### Cons Some of the framework introduces complexities and complications. I've struggled a bit manging customers using invoice billing and also having customers manage information, statements etc in the billing portal. Though there are workarounds for any issues it can, occasionally, make things a little fiddly. --- ### Software that does not disappoint - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jakub L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros For me, as a QA in company it's easy to use. Honestly, we didn't even once have problems with it. It just works. #### Cons I heard from those who configure it, it was not really easy to do it but if you did in once, that's done and you can forget about it. --- ### Chargify simplifies your accounts - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

It fulfills 95% of our daily business needs. Great service! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how easy it is to use and how seamless it integrates with other online apps (shopify, mailchimp etc) #### Cons I wish the email tool allowed for you to style emails better. The user interface is clunky and limited. Also I wish the integration with mailchimp passed along the subscription status of "pending cancellation". That way we could set up an automatic email campaign in mailchimp that is sent to users who change their status. It would help us save subscribers before they cancel. --- ### Billing in for multiple types of subscription models - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael W. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We did not want to write a full customer billing system when we started 10 years ago. Chargify let us get up and running quickly and has kept pace with our needs as we grow. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy integration brought us to Chargify and it has been consistently good. The simple interface and a fair number of modifications have been great to manage our billing system without having to master an overly complex system. #### Cons We sell recurring and also Pay As You Go subscriptions. Recurring works great and our customers love it. Our Pay as You Go customers complain from time to time because their statement can arrive up to 30 days after their purchase. That makes them assume they have be billed on a recurring plan. We understand we are a weird kind of account and you focus on recurring ... so no hard feelings ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/maxio-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Maxio Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
