We are delighted to introduce Zoho Billing, an end-to-end billing solution crafted to streamline billing for companies of every size. Built on the foundation of Zoho Subscriptions, Zoho Billing will replace it with significant advancement in billing capabilities, tailored to empower growing businesses.

Looking back to where it all started

Over the last decade, the ways we use, consume, and pay for the goods and services in our daily lives have transformed significantly. Be it software providers or streaming services, subscription-based models became the new norm. Businesses adopted these models for predictable revenue streams, but this shift brought pricing, billing, and accounting complexities.

Being a SaaS company ourselves, we understood the needs first-hand and created Zoho Subscriptions in 2014 to address the unique needs of businesses that rely on recurring revenue streams. Newly established and growing businesses used Zoho Subscriptions to automate recurring billing, manage subscription lifecycles, handle complex pricing models, and track subscription metrics.

Fast forwarding to the present and stepping into the future

Today, technology-driven customer expectations are reshaping markets, prompting businesses to adapt to evolving market demands. Subscription businesses are innovating by combining annual, monthly, and one-time pricing models. This hybrid approach caters to a diverse set of audiences, serving varied billing preferences. Zoho, as a technology partner, recognized the need to align with these shifts, resulting in the evolution of Zoho Subscriptions into Zoho Billing.

Zoho Billing is a go-to billing solution for any business at every growth stage. It empowers them to do pricing experiments, supports one-time, subscription, project, and expense billing. To put it in a nutshell, from quote creation to revenue collection, everything is taken care of.
