As someone who builds business OS stacks, the 'Stripe tax' on billing is a constant friction point for my clients. The fact that you keep the core processing on Stripe but cut the billing overhead by 50% is a huge win for scalability. Quick question: How does ChaChing handle complex migrations for existing Stripe Billing subscriptions without breaking the payment tokens?

@iambel0ved We continue to use stripe as the processor so the payment tokens stays the same, we just handle the subscriptions and invoices

very cool concept- well done!

@yo Thanks for the support!
Wow, ChaChing looks amazing! Cutting Stripes billing fees in half is a game changer. Im curious, can it handle complex usage-based billing scenarios with multiple tiers?

@jaydev13 We're working on usage based billing use cases, I'd be happy to get your feedback and make sure we're building the right thing!
How do you manage to cut Stripe Billing fees by 50% while still keeping everything on Stripe?
ChaChing
@quang_tri_u Its a common misconception that Stripe and Stripe billing are one. You can still process payments on stripe but use your own billing solution that integrates with stripe processing. We essentially connect to your stripe merchant account and handle the invoices and subscriptions separately to save you money

Very nice!
Congratulations on the launch Adrian.
I really like the idea of cutting down the billing tax, the way you're thinking about customer states and invoices feels very intentional.
Quick question though, how are you approaching edge cases around things like proration and retries as you roll out more pricing models?
Tried chaching earlier and what stood out to me was how simple it is to see your numbers in one place without digging through multiple tools. It feels practical and easy to get used to. Curious to see how it evolves with more usage.
Tried this out and it keeps tasks and updates in one place, which makes tracking progress much easier.
The workflow feels straightforward, so it’s quick to understand and use day to day.
Curious to see how it scales with larger teams and more complex projects.
As someone who’s spent a lot of time optimizing our subscription stack, the idea behind ChaChing resonates — particularly the focus on lowering the billing layer costs while keeping Stripe for actual payments. The ability to manage subscriptions, invoices, and basic reporting without paying Stripe’s higher billing fees is appealing, especially if the migration tooling lives up to its description. It looks like a solid option for teams that find Stripe Billing’s pricing starts to bite as volumes grow, though I’d want to dig into how it handles edge cases like complex proration or usage-based billing in practice before committing.
