# What are the best subscription billing platforms for SaaS companies with usage-based and fixed pricing models simultaneously?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Pure subscription billing is straightforward compared with a contract that says: $20,000 platform fee, $30 per seat, then usage above a threshold. For SaaS companies running hybrid pricing, G2's Usage-Based Billing theme points to these products in particular:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/chargebee/pricing?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Chargebee</a> (4.4, 996 reviews) supports multiple pricing models, as well as subscriptions, invoicing, dunning, taxes, and contract terms. The current Starter plan explicitly includes multiple pricing models. Reviewers like the flexibility, but cost becomes a recurring concern as businesses scale.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/sellers/maxio?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Maxio</a> (4.3, 831 reviews) is built specifically around B2B SaaS financial operations and appears across G2's billing, subscription management, analytics, and usage-based billing categories.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/recurly/reviews?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Recurly</a> (4.0/5, 206 reviews) handles automated subscription billing and plan management alongside payment recovery and revenue recognition. Reviewers generally like its subscription-management automation, although reporting and certain billing edge cases draw criticism.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For SaaS finance teams running hybrid pricing, which part is hardest to keep accurate: usage ingestion, proration, contract changes, or explaining the invoice to the customer?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Something none of these reviews get into is what happens mid-contract when a customer renegotiates their pricing model partway through a term. Does the billing platform actually handle that cleanly, or does it usually mean a manual workaround until the next renewal?&lt;/p&gt;
