How we compiled this
Prices fetched directly from each vendor's official pricing page via WebFetch on 2026-06-14. Stripe Billing pricing page geo-routes to localized (EUR/GBP/AUD) pages regardless of locale parameter; USD prices are not published at stripe.com/billing/pricing — only the 0.7% pay-as-you-go rate is currency-agnostic. The monthly subscription tiers (€500–€4,900/month) are EUR-only; those plans are recorded as null monthlyUsd with notes. Chargebee Performance plan is $7,188/year (annual commitment, billed monthly = $599/mo equivalent); confirmed via official site and SoftwareAdvice corroboration. Maxio Grow plan lists at $599 but sources disagree on frequency (official site renders /month; GetApp and Capterra list /year) — recorded as null monthlyUsd with a note rather than asserting a contested figure. Billsby Core=$45/month and Pro=$135/month confirmed via official site; GetApp discrepancy ($35) treated as stale. Zuora pricing is fully quote-only with no published tiers. HIPAA/BAA status set to null where not explicitly stated on security pages.
