The Managed Way to Replace Chargify
Zoho Billing can run every subscription, invoice, and renewal you have, once someone builds the plans, connects a gateway, and watches what fails. That part is a job. We handle it on a monthly plan: pricing configured the way you actually sell, invoices and tax set up correctly, expired cards chased down before they turn into churn, and revenue numbers that reconcile with your books.
With Cascadia you get
- Someone watching your charges
- Dunning tuned, not defaulted
- Pricing that bills the way you sell
- Tax handled before it bites
- Your account, your customers
- Fewer billing tickets to answer

Where the Service Earns Its Keep
A failed renewal is only lost revenue if nobody retries it intelligently, and the default retry schedule was not written for your customers.
Pricing That Bills the Way You Sell
Tiered rates, usage charges, and mid-cycle upgrades are easy to design and hard to configure.
Tax Handled Before It Bites
Sales tax, VAT, and GST rules differ by jurisdiction and by product, and they change without telling you.
Your Account, Your Customers
Everything we build lives inside your own Zoho Billing subscription, under your ownership. If you ever change providers, your plans, customer records, invoices, and workflows stay exactly where they are.
Fewer Billing Tickets to Answer
We set up the customer portal so people update their own payment details, download invoices, and change plans, which takes a steady stream of small requests off your team for good.
Who This Comparison Is For
Businesses Still Invoicing by Hand
Manual invoicing is slow, easy to get wrong, and it always slips in a busy month.
Zoho One Customers Not Using Billing Yet
Zoho One includes Billing, and plenty of companies pay for it while still invoicing somewhere else.
Agencies Billing Monthly Retainers
Retainer invoicing eats hours and rarely looks consistent between accounts.
Choose Chargify if
- You want recurring billing with revenue recognition in one platform
- You bill up to about $100,000 a month and have someone to run it
- You are happy with annual payment
Choose Cascadia if
- You still invoice by hand
- You pay for Zoho One and never switched Billing on
- You bill monthly retainers
How Our Managed Zoho Billing Service Works
Whether you are starting from an empty Zoho Billing organization or inheriting one somebody else configured, the sequence is the same. We work out how you charge, build the plans and test them against a full cycle, then go live and keep it running afterward.
- 1
We Assess Your Current Setup
First we look at how things run today: what you already pay for, what is configured where, and which parts are actually causing you trouble.
- 2
We Map How You Actually Charge
If your pricing has a rule nobody ever wrote down, this is where it surfaces, rather than three cycles later.
- 3
We Build the Plans and Test a Cycle
We build your products, plans, and price books, connect your payment gateway, configure invoice templates and tax, then run a full billing cycle against test customers before a single real charge goes out.
- 4
We Go Live and Keep It Collecting
From there it stays managed. Failed charges get worked, tax and plan changes get applied, integrations get repaired when an API shifts, and your revenue reporting stays reconciled with your books.
How Chargify works
What Chargify Does, in Their Own Words
Chargify no longer sells under its own name. It is now part of Maxio, and the figures below were read in September 2026.

Chargify Alternative Questions
Straight answers about switching, pricing, and what moves with you.
See Managed Zoho BillingStill have a question?
Why would I switch from Chargify to Cascadia?
So your pricing bills the way you sell. Tiered rates, usage charges, and mid-cycle upgrades are easy to design and hard to configure. We build your products, plans, price books, and proration rules so the invoice a customer receives matches what your sales team promised, including the awkward cases nobody thought through at the time.
How is this different from hiring a Zoho consultant hourly?
An hourly consultant fits a project with a start and an end. Billing is not that. Cards expire, tax rules shift, gateways change their APIs, and every new pricing idea needs configuration. Each of those becomes a small negotiation when you bill by the hour. A subscription removes the friction: monitoring is continuous, small changes do not need a quote, and we keep context on your setup between requests.
Do you work with Zoho Billing inside Zoho One?
Yes. Zoho Billing is included in Zoho One, and many of our clients reach it that way. The management work is the same either way. Our plans cover any mix of Zoho apps, Zoho One or individual apps, priced by hours of Zoho work rather than by users or apps.
What if we have more than 1,000 active subscriptions?
Tell us and we will quote it. Higher subscription counts usually mean more failed charges to work, more edge cases in proration, and more reporting demand, and we recommend the plan whose monthly hours match it. We would rather talk about that openly than stretch your monthly hours until the work slips.
How long does onboarding take?
Most setups are running within two to four weeks. The first stage covers access, a review of your current pricing and billing state, and gateway connections. The second covers building plans, configuring invoices and tax, and testing a full billing cycle before it touches real customers. Migrations from another platform take longer, and we will say so up front.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
The subscription is monthly with no long-term commitment. You can cancel any time, and the service runs to the last business day of that month. Because everything lives in your own Zoho account, you keep every plan, customer record, invoice, and workflow we built. We would rather earn the renewal each month than rely on a contract to keep an unhappy client in place.
How do I get started?
Start with a consultation. We look at how you charge today, what is breaking, and where your billing data lives, then recommend the plan that fits. From there we take access, connect your gateway, build or repair your plans, and test a cycle end to end. Anything bigger than your monthly hours gets quoted as a project, at your plan's project discount.
What is managed Zoho Billing?
Managed Zoho Billing is an ongoing subscription where we run your Zoho Billing environment for you. That covers plan and pricing setup, subscription changes, invoice and tax configuration, payment gateway connections, dunning and failed payment recovery, and recurring revenue reporting. Instead of assigning billing admin work to someone in finance who already has a job, you have a team inside your setup handling it month to month.
What is included in the monthly plan?
The plan covers 1 billing organization with up to 1,000 active subscriptions. Within that, we handle plan and price book changes, subscription lifecycle work, invoice and tax configuration, gateway monitoring, dunning and recovery workflows, customer portal setup, integration health, and revenue reporting. Larger pieces of work such as migrating from another billing platform or rebuilding your entire pricing model are scoped and quoted as separate projects.
Do I still need my own Zoho Billing license?
Yes. You keep your own Zoho Billing subscription and own the account, the customer records, and every plan and invoice inside it. We work in your environment as an administrator. That matters if you ever change providers, because nothing sits behind our accounts and there is no data to negotiate for. We will also advise on which plan tier fits your subscription volume.
