A billing platform is software that calculates charges and produces invoices for products and services, often for recurring and usage-based plans.
In subscription businesses, a subscription billing platform typically handles pricing rules, metering or rating, invoice creation, taxes, payment collection, and billing adjustments like prorations and credits. It also helps teams keep customer plans and billing schedules consistent across renewals, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations.
Billing platforms are commonly used by SaaS companies, cloud providers, and marketplaces because billing needs to match what was sold, what was delivered, and when access started.
