Many users are looking for the all-in-one subscription management functionality of Maxio but without the high level of complexity and training. Maxio typically takes about 10 months to set up and requires a high level of training and time from staff. Its flexibility and detailed reporting trade off with complex, difficult user interface and poor reporting.
The right option depends on your needs.
If you are a small business with a B2C or physical inventory requirement, a simple billing solution like Chargee, Recurly or Paddle may be best.

Many B2B companies are looking for flexible subscription management and SaaS metric reporting which integrates with their CRM.
Maxio is great in terms of customisation and detailed reporting, but most new users underestimate the amount of set up time and training which is required. Most clients take 10 months or more to implement the system and require many hours of training and manual input to set up contracts and pricing. Once set up, there are ongoing requirements to maintain the system and keep it aligned with accounting reports. Many comparison websites are full of complaints about the setup complexity being unclear at the time of purchase, resulting in unexpected cost and time investment.
For those looking for easier, cheaper automation of B2B subscription management, revenue and expense recognition, and flexible robust analytics, look no further than ScaleXP.
