Billoop vs Chargebee pricing (2026)

The price anchor

Break-even analysis

Billoop costs less than a single day of Chargebee's starter tier, and never skims your revenue.

• After 1 year: Billoop has cost you $49 total — Chargebee has cost $7,188.
• After 3 years: Billoop is still $49 — the subscription is at $21,564.
• After 5 years: Billoop is still $49 — the subscription is at $35,940.

What you get for $49 once

• BYO Stripe (optional). Drop in your own API key and plans become Stripe products, customers sync and the portal wraps Stripe's billing portal; without a key it runs the full engine in local mode, and it never touches funds.
• Plans, trials, coupons. Monthly and yearly plans, trial periods and percent or amount coupons (once or forever), all in integer cents, never floats.
• Real proration. Mid-cycle plan changes credit the unused fraction of the old plan and charge the same fraction of the new one as explicit line items, covered by exact-figure tests.
• Dunning that finishes. A failed payment triggers a templated email sequence at +0/+3/+7 days, then auto-cancels or auto-pauses after N attempts, and every send is logged.
• Renewal sweep. Runs hourly or on demand to handle trial conversions, renewals with correct coupon semantics and cancel-at-period-end.
• No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $49 is the whole price.
