### Comment 1

Great list — these all handle the billing side well. One platform worth adding, especially if your app is in the media, streaming, or D2C space: Cleeng.

It goes beyond billing into full subscriber lifecycle management — paywalls, entitlements, trial flows, promo codes, and cancellation/retention logic are all built in. The analytics are particularly strong: subscriber-level data, churn prediction, and cohort analysis rather than just MRR dashboards.

The integration is API-first and well-documented, so it plays nicely with existing tech stacks. It&#39;s purpose-built for content and media businesses rather than generic SaaS, which makes a real difference when your pricing complexity comes from access rules and content packaging rather than seat counts.

&lt;p&gt;This is all subjective to my experience and insight, but if you disagree with these product choices or agree, let me know!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
