Billingly vs CUSI Utility Billing

Billingly is a utility billing and customer information system for providers managing recurring services, from meter readings through invoicing. It supports electricity, gas, water, district heating and other service providers. Its billing engine handles periodic bulk invoices, consumption charges, corrections, grouping, and delivery by email, paper, or e-invoice. Configurable expression-language formulas define prices, corrections, and invoice lines. Customer and contract tools cover records, contacts, premises, network and metering details, contracts, GDPR consents, lifecycle management, and automated supplier switching. Meter readings flow through an asynchronous MDM pipeline using REST requests and S3 staging, with retries and forecast fallback. Integrations include REST APIs, address registries, financial system exports, Amazon S3, and SQS. Billingly is available via web, API, and self-hosted deployment, and can run as SaaS or on-premises. The site describes role-based access, audit logging, ISO 27001 security compliance, GDPR support, and an EU-only data residency option. Pricing is available on request.
