I will only ever use ChargeOver.

Pros

  • It is VERY user-friendly. There are very few times I need to reach out to them for help, because it's easy to navigate and easy to figure out on my own. Everything is clear, clean, organized, and simple.
  • They have VERY friendly staff. The service is fantastic. I'm always answered within a reasonable time, and their answers are always open, honest, and helpful. They are always friendly.
  • It has a wonderful capacity to customize. If I need a specific report that isn't offered as a default report, it's incredibly easy to set up custom reports, have it send to my email upon certain events, and organize data in a way that I need for my company specifically.
  • Despite how simple it is, it's able to keep track of a large number of things. I can keep track of products, prices, descriptions, subscriptions, customers, contact information, payment information, integrations, reports, past due invoices, paused subscriptions, cancellations, inactive customers, and more.
  • It integrates with QuickBooks, which makes it easy for us to keep track of everything wherever we go.
  • They have automated emails! I cannot tell you how valuable this has been. ChargeOver will automatically send an email (that I can write) to a customer when payments go through, when an invoice is past due, when refunds are given, and more.

Cons

  • There have been occasional bugs and glitches. However their response when I report them is always quick, friendly, and prompt. I don't think I've had a glitch last longer than a day or two.
  • I wish there was a way to send automated calls or texts, instead of only having automated emails.

Return on Investment

  • Our billing is now much more linear, much more organized, and much easier to locate information now that we've been using them.
  • People in other departments can easily navigate the system without training and find what they're looking for.

Great For Recurring Billing and Accounts Receivable

Pros

  • Keeping billing information on file for new invoices.
  • Professional looking templates.
  • Very impressive customer service. They have built out several features and reports specifically for my company.
  • Easy to track commissions

Cons

  • They need the site to be mobile friendly or to develop an app. If I don't use Chrome and remember to view as desktop site, it loses much of its functionality.

Return on Investment

  • Very positive because of their automatic invoice reminders and the ability for a customer to pay their own bill. Saves having an AR department or an inconvenient side job.
