ChaChing gives you Stripe Billing’s features at 50% less while maintaining your processing with Stripe. Manage subscriptions and invoices with ease and save thousands per year!
ChaChing
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Adrian, founder of ChaChing!
The Problem
Billing is one of those “should be simple” parts of a business that somehow turns into a tax:
Subscription billing quickly becomes a maze (plans, add-ons, coupons, proration, invoices, retries, dunning, taxes, reporting…).
The popular options are powerful, but for a lot of teams they’re overkill + expensive as you scale.
Many teams love Stripe (we do too), but once you need billing that can work beyond Stripe-only processing—or unify multiple payment rails—That’s where manual processes and custom integrations start creeping in. We're working towards enabling other processors 😉
We built ChaChing because billing shouldn’t feel like building a second product.
How ChaChing is Different 🚀
Chaching is a modern billing platform that gives you the essentials without the bloat—or the “billing tax.”
🔹 Lower billing costs (built for efficiency)
We’re focused on keeping billing fees sane so you can scale revenue without watching your billing vendor scale your costs.
🔹 Subscriptions that are actually easy to manage
Create plans, manage customers, handle proration cleanly, and generate invoices automatically—without needing a billing PhD.
🔹 Dev-friendly setup
A clean API + webhooks(Work in progress!) that are straightforward to implement and easy to iterate on as your pricing evolves.
🔹 Built for clarity across teams
Clear customer states, invoice history, retries/dunning, and reporting—so Finance, Support, and Engineering aren’t all looking at different truths.
🟡 Coming Soon: Usage-based + tiered pricing
Metered usage, tiered models, and more flexible pricing configurations are on the roadmap next.
Who is this for?
If you’re a subscription or Invoice based business and you want billing that’s simple, scalable, and not outrageously priced, ChaChing is for you.
🔗 Get started
Check out ChaChing here on Product Hunt, and I’d love your feedback—especially:
what billing stack you’re on today,
what your “this drives me crazy” billing pain is,
and what you wish Stripe Billing / Chargebee / Recurly did better.
Happy to answer anything in the comments 👇 or feel free to email me adrian@chaching.io
@adrian_rodriguez14 0.35% vs stripe billing 0.70% is a real saving at scale. half the fee adds up fast.
good to see pci aware and soc 2 mentioned. thats table stakes for billing but many newcomers skip it.
currently using polar but it only handles paying customers. no support for referral systems or affiliate tracking. does chaching support referral credits or affiliate payouts? that would be a reason to switch.
ChaChing
@topfuelauto Hey Mostafa, this is the type of feedback we're looking for. I would love to understand your use case a little more. What referral systems do you currently use? I guess we would need to receive an event -> trigger a change on X users subscriptions. Just spitballing here but feel free to reach out for a chat adrian@chaching.io
@adrian_rodriguez14 hey adrian, thanks for the quick reply.
my use case: i have a chrome extension with a referral system. referrals are tracked in my own database with a set percentage for each referrer. the tracking part works fine.
the problem is payouts. i have no automated way to pay referrers their cut. right now its all manual which doesnt scale.
looking for something that can receive a referral event and automatically handle the payout to the referrer. would that be possible with chaching?

@nastassia_k Thank you! We wanted to find a happy medium between comic books and usual startup landing pages.
P.s Batman is my hero lol
Pretty Prompt
@adrian_rodriguez14
This is neat! We just launched @Pretty Prompt 1.0 (2nd product of the day here!) Would love to chat Adrian, this one could be super helpful for our tool! Stripe is getting expensive 😅
Also, nice design and great getting @benln to hunt 💪
ChaChing
@ilaiszp Hey Ilai, Congrats on your launch! I'd be happy to chat. Shoot me an email adrian@chaching.io and we find a time.
Pretty Prompt
@adrian_rodriguez14 On it right now! Felicitaciones! 💪
(great product name ;))
How does the migration process work for existing Stripe Billing users? Can we import all active subscriptions and metadata without downtime?
ChaChing
@lightninglx Hey Xiang, the import process only takes a few minutes. It will import all subscriptions and dependancies and will charge customers on the next billing cycle. The only gap would be replacing any existing endpoints from stripe that you would normally use to "create, edit, delete" subscriptions for ChaChing's endpoints. I'd be happy to show you a walkthrough. Email me Adrian@Chaching.io
Congrats on the launch — love the clear value prop of cutting Stripe billing costs while keeping existing payments and tooling.
ChaChing
@zeiki_yu Thanks for the support!
Interesting angle 💸Cutting billing fees without ditching Stripe is compelling. Curious to see how the migration works congrats on the launch and good luck today 🚀

🎉 Saw that Chargebee/Recurly migration is coming soon - any chance of supporting alternative payment processors for markets like South Korea where Stripe isn't available? Would be great for Korean SaaS builders! 🥲
ChaChing
@dhxyoon Hey! That is our goal in the next sprint. We plan on adding all the major processors(Authorize, Checkout, NMI, etc) . We want to give you all the freedom on routing payments. What specific processor are you looking for?
This sounds very good! I'm just wondering, how do you manage to provide this service without the fees?
ChaChing
@thomasp0 Hey Thomas, we do charge fees. You can see our pricing starts at 0.35% of processing volume. Compared to 0.70% of Stripe Billing.
ChaChing
@kachidurojaye Hey Kachi, you would need to have an existing stripe account in order to actually charge customers. I guess there could be a use case where you can have events sent to your platform and you handle the charges separately
