Maxio (formerly Chargify and SaaSOptics) is a billing and financial reporting platform built for B2B SaaS and AI companies. It handles subscription and usage-based billing, invoicing, dunning, revenue recognition, and the SaaS metrics finance teams need for board decks and audits.
The pitch is one system that covers both the billing engine (charging customers, running payments through 20+ gateways) and the accounting side (GAAP/IFRS revenue recognition, A/R, cohort and MRR reporting), so finance doesn't have to stitch together a billing tool and a separate rev rec tool.

Who it's for
- ✓ B2B SaaS companies with contract-based or usage-based pricing that need GAAP-compliant revenue recognition built in, not bolted on
- ✓ Finance teams that want MRR, cohort, and ARPU reporting without exporting billing data into a separate BI tool
Who should look elsewhere
- ✗ Early-stage or small teams on simple monthly plans, where the $599/month floor is overkill
- ✗ Companies that need phone support with fast SLAs; several users report support is email/ticket-only with no escalation path
Pros
- + Combines billing and revenue recognition in one product, so finance doesn't need a separate rev rec tool
- + No per-seat pricing, unlimited users on any plan
- + Deep reporting on MRR, cohorts, and ARPU built for SaaS metrics finance teams already track
- + 85+ built-in integrations including NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, and QuickBooks
Cons
- – Pricing above the Grow plan is quote-only, so scaling companies can't budget ahead without a sales call
- – Multiple users report support has no phone line and no clear escalation path when something breaks
- – At least one long-tenured customer reported a price increase of roughly 10x with a month's notice at renewal
Maxio pricing
What you pay for
You pay a flat monthly platform fee based on how much you bill through Maxio, not per seat. The entry Grow plan is the only price Maxio publishes; anything above $100k in monthly billings moves to a custom quote, and add-on modules like advanced revenue management or multi-entity support are priced separately.
At about $599/month to start, it sits at the higher end of Subscription Billing pricing.
| Plan | Price | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Grow | $599/mo | For companies billing up to $100k a month · Usage-based and recurring billing · Subscription management, collections and dunning · 20+ payment gateways · No per-seat charges, unlimited users |
| Scale | Custom | For companies billing over $100k a month · Same core billing engine plus deeper revenue recognition, A/R management and financial reporting · Optional add-ons: advanced revenue management, expense amortization, multi-entity support |
The Grow plan is listed at $599/month on Maxio's pricing page for companies billing up to $100k a month, with no per-user fees. Maxio's pricing page says default agreements are billed annually, with monthly and quarterly payment available at a premium, but it does not say whether the $599 figure assumes annual billing. Above $100k in monthly billings, Scale pricing is custom and Maxio says its terms flex with contract length, with discounts for multi-year deals. Real-world spend data reported by third parties (not Maxio) puts typical annual contracts well above the list price once implementation and support are added, so treat the $599 figure as a floor, not a full budget number.
