In their own words
BillaBear
BillaBear is a subscription management and billing system with Stripe integration, a REST API, and web, API, and self-hosted deployment options. It manages subscriptions, custom plans, add-ons, invoices, quotes, hosted checkouts, paylinks, vouchers, credit notes, dunning, and reports. Pricing models include fixed, usage-based, volume and graduated tiers, fixed-plus-unit, and per-seat charges. The system supports multiple brands and currencies, tax management, country and state rules, configurable thresholds, EU reverse charge, one-stop-shop, and VAT Sense integration. Workflows can retry failed tasks, including API requests. Invoice, quote, PDF, and email templates use Twig or email-service-provider templates. Integrations listed include Stripe, Slack, Freshbooks, Xero, Mailchimp, EmailOctopus, SendGrid, MailGun, and Postmark; Zendesk and Freshdesk integrations help agents find customer profiles. SDKs are listed for PHP, Java, Go, JavaScript, Ruby, and Python. The Starter plan is $1 a month, with $50,000 of revenue free. Managed cloud hosting is currently unavailable.
SubJolt
SubJolt is a web tool for subscription businesses that adds save offers to cancellation flows, reactivation prompts for returning subscribers, and churn analytics through one site snippet. Before completing cancellation, a customer may be offered a discount, a subscription pause, or a plan switch. The cancellation control stays available, and customers can finish cancelling in one click. SubJolt can show a win-back banner to churned subscribers who revisit a site; its dashboard reports saved MRR and reduced churn, while exit feedback records reasons for leaving. Installation uses a pasted script or Google Tag Manager, without coding. Listed native integrations include Stripe, Shopify, Chargebee, Recurly, and Recharge; Paddle is marked coming soon. Each account connects to one payment gateway, so multiple gateways require separate accounts and subscriptions. The free Starter plan allows 50 cancel sessions per month. Pro costs $99/mo, and a 30-day trial is listed.
