Chargebee retires Starter/Performance, launches single Flow plan for Billing

Chargebee’s Billing product page dropped its three-tier Starter/Performance/Enterprise structure in favor of a single plan called Flow, sold with a choice of two rate structures rather than separate subscription steps. The prior USD 250,000 cumulative-billing free threshold on Starter — a defining feature of Chargebee’s pricing since at least 2022 — no longer appears on the page; Flow’s percentage-of-billing rate now applies from a customer’s first dollar of billing. The published rate also moved from a flat 0.75% to 0.80% on the pay-as-you-go option, with a new 0.65% option available in exchange for a $99/mo platform fee. Both Flow variants introduce a named usage-events ingestion allowance (100M/mo), raised to 500M/mo on the renamed “Enterprise Plus” tier — a capacity control that did not exist on the prior page. Flow’s CTA is a self-serve “Get started,” reversing the demo-gating that Performance had introduced. Chargebee’s separate “Chargebee for Startups” offer (free billing to $1M cumulative revenue for qualifying startups) remains in place but no longer names a specific retired plan in its copy.
