AI Summary
About
Hyperline is a quote-to-cash revenue platform for B2B software companies, spanning five modules — Billing (subscriptions, usage-based and hybrid pricing), CPQ (configure-price-quote with e-signature), Usage (real-time metering — a billion events a month at 99.997% uptime), Customer intelligence (a live operating profile per customer: payment behavior, contract value, support and risk signals) and Accounts receivable (collections, payments and cash visibility). In 2026 Hyperline repositioned around AI, branding itself “the AI-native operating system powering modern finance”: it now ships a Collection Agent (autonomous overdue-invoice recovery in the customer’s own brand voice), a Monitoring Agent (“Sentinel”), a Hyperline AI Chat assistant, and a native MCP server alongside its API and CLI for programmatic and agentic access. The company reports $10B+ in revenue processed, 500M invoices issued globally, 99.999% platform uptime, and a 4.9/5 G2 rating, and says it has run 300+ migrations off Chargebee, Stripe Billing and other incumbents.
Hyperline is a Paris-based company (Hyperline SAS, 38 rue Rene Boulanger, 75010 Paris) with a growing New York presence, founded in 2022 by Lucas Bedout and Clement Garbay. It launched publicly in June 2023 with a EUR4M seed round led by Index Ventures (Cocoa VC, Kima Ventures, and the founders of Qonto, Spendesk and Primer), and raised a further $10M seed extension in January 2025, also led by Index Ventures with Adelie Capital following — bringing total funding to about $14.4M. The company advertises SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance badges, GDPR alignment as an EU company, multi-factor authentication, and a DPA on demand.

Pricing summary : How Hyperline’s pricing model works
Hyperline again charges a flat monthly platform fee plus a percentage of the revenue it processes on its entry tier — the take-rate mechanic this page briefly described as gone on 2026-07-29 is back as of 2026-08-04. Launch is $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed for companies with up to $2M in annual revenue and up to 100 active subscriptions, and includes subscriptions & recurring billing, sales quotes with e-signature (CPQ), automated invoicing & payments, dunning & collections, and core integrations (QuickBooks, Xero, Pennylane, Zoho Books, Anrok, Attio, HubSpot); AI Sentinel monitoring is also included per Hyperline’s own compare-plans table. Growth is custom-quoted for companies with $2M-$20M in annual revenue and up to 1,000 active subscriptions, adding usage-based & hybrid pricing, complex usage billing, revenue recognition, advanced reporting, multi-currency billing and priority support (plus Salesforce, Rillet, DATEV and Exact Online integrations). Scale is custom-quoted for companies above $20M in annual revenue with unlimited active subscriptions, adding advanced approval flows, multi-entity consolidation, custom contracts & SLAs, a dedicated success manager, NetSuite and custom integrations.
Two mechanics stand out: the percentage-of-revenue-processed take-rate applies only to Launch — Growth and Scale are both quote-only, so 0.7% of revenue processed is now the sole published usage-style mechanic on the page, layered on top of (not instead of) the $299 flat fee and the revenue/active-subscription eligibility bands that still gate which tier a customer sits in.
What makes this different: Hyperline’s flat, take-rate-free Launch price (published 2026-07-29) lasted about a week before the page reverted to a platform-fee-plus-percentage structure close to (though not identical to) its pre-07-29 model. The plan cards now also explicitly headline CPQ (sales quotes & e-signature) on Launch, resolving the earlier mismatch between the plan cards and the compare-plans table.
Pricing by product
| Tier | Price | Included | Key mechanics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | $299 / month + 0.7% of revenue processed | Subscriptions & recurring billing, sales quotes & e-signature (CPQ), automated invoicing & payments, dunning & collections, AI Sentinel monitoring, core integrations (QuickBooks, Xero, Pennylane, Zoho Books, Anrok, Attio, HubSpot) | Flat fee plus a percentage-of-revenue-processed take-rate; for companies up to $2M in annual revenue and up to 100 active subscriptions; self-serve “Get started” |
| Growth | Custom (quote) | Everything in Launch, plus usage-based & hybrid pricing, complex usage billing, revenue recognition, advanced reporting, multi-currency billing, priority support, and Salesforce, Rillet, DATEV & Exact Online integrations | For $2M-$20M in annual revenue and up to 1,000 active subscriptions; “Get started” leads to a custom quote |
| Scale | Custom (quote) | Everything in Growth, plus advanced approval flows, multi-entity consolidation, custom contracts & SLAs, a dedicated success manager, NetSuite and custom integrations | For companies above $20M in annual revenue with unlimited active subscriptions; fully sales-led, “Talk to sales” |
Sales motions across products: self-serve PLG for Launch, the only tier with a real published price ($299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed) and a direct “Get started” checkout; Growth also shows a self-serve-styled “Get started” CTA even though its price is quoted case-by-case; Scale is fully sales-led (“Talk to sales”). Hyperline’s own compare-plans table shows CPQ (sales quotes and e-signature) and AI Sentinel ship from Launch, and the plan cards now headline CPQ on Launch as well; complex usage billing, advanced reporting and revenue recognition remain gated to Growth and above.
Hidden costs : What Hyperline users actually pay
The percentage-of-revenue meter briefly disappeared from Launch on 2026-07-29 but was reinstated within a week, on 2026-08-04 — so Launch’s bill is variable again, not flat. Below is an illustrative bill for a company well inside the Launch ceiling, processing about $150,000/month (roughly $1.8M/year) through Hyperline:
| Line item | Monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Launch platform fee (flat) | $299 |
| Take-rate: 0.7% of revenue processed (~$150,000/mo) | $1,050 |
| Total | ~$1,349/mo |
That bill keeps climbing with revenue: a company at the very top of the Launch ceiling ($2M in annual revenue, ~$166,700/month) pays roughly $1,167/month in take-rate alone, pushing the all-in bill to about $1,466/month — nearly 5x the $299 flat fee, and well above what the plan card’s headline price implies on its own.
The other hidden cost sits just past that ceiling. Growth ($2M-$20M in annual revenue, up to 1,000 active subscriptions) and Scale (above $20M in revenue, unlimited subscriptions) carry no published price anywhere on the pricing page — not a starting number, not a range, and no visible take-rate either. A company approaching $2M in annual revenue or 100 active subscriptions has no way to forecast what its bill becomes the moment it crosses either line; the only way to find out is a sales conversation, so no bill-construction table is possible for those two tiers.
Things to budget for: the Launch ceiling is a hard boundary on two independent axes — $2M in annual revenue OR 100 active subscriptions, whichever is hit first — so a fast-growing company should watch both, not just revenue. There is no published add-on pricing for integrations or seats at any tier, unlike the prior 2026 H1 model’s explicit $50-per-integration-per-month line, but the revenue-processed take-rate itself is a real variable cost that scales with growth. And the self-serve trial is gone, so evaluating Hyperline below the $299/month-plus-take-rate Launch price now requires a sales conversation rather than the old “10 invoices free, no credit card” sandbox.
Want to estimate your own Hyperline bill? Use the Hyperline pricing calculator to model the $299/month flat fee plus 0.7% of revenue processed against your own volume, and see whether your annual revenue and active-subscription count still fit inside Launch or whether you’re likely headed toward a custom Growth or Scale quote.
Pricing evolution : Hyperline pricing history and changes
Cadence
| Period | Price changes | Product / SKU additions | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | — | Company founded (Paris) | Lucas Bedout & Clement Garbay; pre-launch build |
| 2023 | Platform fee + % of revenue model | Public launch; CPQ + billing + payments | EUR4M seed led by Index Ventures (June 2023) |
| 2024–2026 H1 | $199+0.6% / $299+0.7% published; +$50/integration | Quote to Cash + Usage (events, metering, prepaid credits, seats) | $10M seed extension (Jan 2025); usage tier productized; take-rate model held stable through the 2026-07-23 re-verification |
| 2026 Q3 | Take-rate model dropped entirely (2026-07-29: Launch $599/month flat), then reinstated (2026-08-04: Launch $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed) | Compare-plans table added; AI-native repositioning (Collection Agent, Sentinel, Hyperline AI Chat, MCP server) | Percentage-of-revenue fee and the 10-invoices-free trial removed on 2026-07-29; take-rate reinstated on 2026-08-04, trial still gone |
Tracked range: 2022–present. Hyperline publishes pricing openly on its site, so the timeline anchors on the 2023 launch, the January 2025 seed extension that scaled the usage tier, the percentage-of-revenue model holding stable through 2026-07-23, the 2026-07-29 repricing to a flat, revenue-band-gated Launch tier, and the 2026-08-04 reversal that brought the take-rate back.
Notable changes
- 2023-06 — Public launch with a EUR4M Index Ventures seed round. Hyperline ships as an end-to-end revenue platform (CPQ + billing + payments) with the platform-fee-plus-percentage-of-revenue model.
- 2025-01 — $10M seed extension (Index Ventures, with Adelie Capital), total funding to ~$14.4M, on “skyrocketing demand for automated billing” (Tech.eu; Vestbee). The Quote to Cash + Usage tier (unlimited events, real-time consumption, prepaid credits, seat-based billing) is the productized response.
- 2026-06 — Live published pricing: $199/mo + 0.6% (Quote to Cash), $299/mo + 0.7% (+ Usage), custom above $5M ARR, integrations +$50/integration/mo, 10 invoices free.
- 2026-07-29 — Hyperline dropped the percentage-of-billed-revenue take-rate entirely and moved to three flat tiers gated by the customer’s own annual revenue band and active-contract count: Launch at $599/month (up to $2M revenue, 100 contracts), and custom-quoted Growth ($2M-$20M revenue, up to 1,000 contracts) and Scale (above $20M revenue, unlimited contracts). The public “10 invoices free, no credit card” trial was removed, and the homepage repositioned around an “AI-native operating system” for finance (Collection Agent, Sentinel, Hyperline AI Chat, native MCP server).
- 2026-08-04 — Less than a week later, Hyperline reinstated the take-rate: Launch moved from a flat $599/month back to $299/month plus 0.7% of revenue processed, still gated at up to $2M in annual revenue and up to 100 active subscriptions (renamed from “active contracts”). Growth and Scale remain custom-quoted with no published number, and the trial remains gone. The Launch plan card also now headlines CPQ (sales quotes & e-signature) directly, matching what the compare-plans table already showed was included at every tier.
What’s unique : Hyperline’s distinctive pricing mechanics
1. Eligibility gating survived only about a week as Hyperline’s sole mechanic. For a few days after 2026-07-29, tiers were gated purely by the customer’s own self-reported annual revenue band and active-contract count with no metered component at all. By 2026-08-04 the take-rate was back on Launch (0.7% of revenue processed), so eligibility gating (revenue band + active-subscription count) and metering (the take-rate) now coexist — Hyperline is a usage-billing platform whose own pricing is, once again, partly usage-based.
2. Only one number survives on the whole pricing page — and it moved twice in a week. Growth and Scale are both quote-only, so Launch’s price is the sole published figure anywhere on hyperline.co/pricing. That figure itself has been unstable: $299/month + 0.7% (through 2026-07-23) → a flat $599/month with no take-rate (2026-07-29) → back to $299/month + 0.7% (2026-08-04) — three distinct headline prices in about six weeks.
3. A self-serve-styled CTA on a negotiated tier. Growth still shows “Get started” even though its price is quoted case-by-case, blurring the self-serve/sales-led line that Scale draws clearly with “Talk to sales.”
4. The plan cards now match what the compare-plans table always showed. Hyperline’s compare-plans table has consistently shown Sales quotes, E-signature and AI Sentinel “Offered” at every tier, including Launch — but the plan cards briefly undersold it, headlining CPQ starting at Growth during the 2026-07-29 flat-fee window. As of 2026-08-04 the Launch card headlines CPQ directly, resolving that mismatch. The real dividing lines remain complex usage billing, revenue recognition and advanced reporting (Growth) and advanced approval flows, multi-entity consolidation, and NetSuite/custom integrations (Scale only).
5. AI agents shipped inside the same flat tiers, not as a new meter. The homepage’s shift to an “AI-native operating system” — a Collection Agent, a Monitoring Agent (“Sentinel”), Hyperline AI Chat and a native MCP server — landed in the same release as the repricing, and none of it adds a separate usage-based line item on top of the now-simplified structure.
Strengths & weaknesses
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Launch keeps a real, published, self-serve price ($299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed) | Growth and Scale are both quote-only — a sharp transparency regression from the fully public $199/$299-plus-percentage structure the whole page once described |
| The take-rate ties Hyperline’s own revenue to customer success, an aligned value metric for its entry tier | The Launch price has changed three times in about six weeks ($299+0.7% → flat $599 → $299+0.7% again), making it hard for a prospect to know what “current” even means |
| CPQ (sales quotes, e-signature) and AI Sentinel monitoring ship from Launch, not gated to a higher tier, and the plan card now headlines this correctly | A company outgrowing the $2M revenue / 100-subscription Launch ceiling has no visible number for what comes next |
| AI agents (Collection Agent, Sentinel, AI Chat, MCP server) fold into the existing tiers rather than adding a new metered line item | Removing the “10 invoices free” trial removes the only no-commitment way to try the product, and it stayed gone through both repricings |
| Eligibility bands (revenue, subscription count) give buyers a clear tier boundary to plan around | Eligibility bands are self-reported revenue and subscription count, harder to audit than a usage meter, and now sit on top of the take-rate rather than replacing it |
Billing UX : Hyperline billing controls and transparency
- Billing controls — A self-serve “Get started” checkout signs up the $299/month + 0.7%-of-revenue Launch tier directly; a Sandbox and test mode (per the docs) lets a finance team configure subscriptions, CPQ and invoicing before going live; and a named Migration checklist (data extracted from legacy tool → dry run → reconciliation reviewed → production migration → go-live → post-migration check-up), run with an assigned Solutions Engineer, backs Hyperline’s claim of “300+ migrations from Chargebee, Stripe Billing and more.”
- AI & automation controls — A Collection Agent autonomously chases overdue invoices “in your brand’s voice”; a Monitoring Agent (“Sentinel”) watches billing and revenue for anomalies (also sold as a named feature line, “AI Sentinel,” on every pricing tier); Hyperline AI Chat answers billing questions in-product; and a native MCP server plus a CLI and an API let AI agents and scripts read and act on billing data directly.
- Usage & cash visibility — The Accounts receivable module surfaces live Cashflow and Outstanding debt charts with day-over-day deltas on the product dashboard, plus a customer portal for self-serve account management.
- Access & compliance controls — Multi-factor authentication, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance badges, GDPR alignment and a DPA on demand; payments are orchestrated across Stripe, GoCardless, Mollie and Adyen per the current homepage’s payments module (Airwallex still appears among Hyperline’s broader integrations list).
Strategic wins : Why Hyperline’s pricing decisions worked
1. Testing a flat-fee alternative, then reverting fast when it didn’t stick
Hyperline briefly replaced its fee-plus-percentage structure with a single flat $599/month Launch price on 2026-07-29, then reinstated $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed less than a week later, on 2026-08-04. Reverting quickly rather than defending a change that wasn’t working is itself a defensible pricing decision — it kept the entry price anchored near its prior level instead of leaving buyers to budget around a short-lived experiment. See how AI companies are moving away from complex per-unit pricing.
2. Keeping CPQ and monitoring in the entry tier
Hyperline’s compare-plans table shows sales quotes, e-signature and AI Sentinel are included from Launch, not gated to a higher tier — a small finance team gets quote tooling and anomaly monitoring on day one, even though the plan cards themselves undersell it. Related: choosing the right usage metric for a billing product.
3. Bundling AI agents into existing tiers instead of a new SKU
The Collection Agent, Sentinel and Hyperline AI Chat ship inside the same three tiers rather than as a separately metered add-on, so the AI-native repositioning doesn’t reintroduce a new pricing dimension on top of an already-simplified structure. See the shift toward outcome-based AI pricing.
Areas to improve : Gaps in Hyperline’s pricing approach
1. Growth and Scale are now fully opaque
Only Launch has a real number; a company that outgrows $2M in annual revenue or 100 active contracts has no published price to anchor a negotiation against — a step back from the fully public $199/$299 structure this page used to describe. Publishing at least an indicative “starting at” Growth price would preserve self-qualification for buyers approaching that ceiling. See bill shock and cost unpredictability when pricing goes dark.
2. No more no-commitment trial
Removing the “10 invoices free, no credit card” trial removes the only way to test Hyperline end-to-end before a sales conversation — a real loss for a self-serve motion the $299/month Launch tier is otherwise built for. A time- or invoice-limited sandbox would restore a low-friction way to evaluate the product.
3. Eligibility bands are self-reported, not metered
Gating tiers by the customer’s own stated annual revenue and contract count, rather than something Hyperline observes in-product, creates an honesty-system boundary that’s harder to enforce than the usage meters the product itself sells. Surfacing a customer’s live revenue/contract standing against their current band inside the product would make upgrade conversations proactive rather than reactive. See usage-based pricing fundamentals.
Monetization stack & signals : how Hyperline builds & buys its revenue engine
Buys 0 Builds 4
Hyperline sells the quote-to-cash core it built: billing, CPQ, real-time metering and revenue recognition are all native to its own platform. Money movement is the deliberate gap — its own FAQ says Hyperline layers on an existing PSP rather than replacing one.
-
“Subscriptions, usage-based and hybrid pricing. Every model your customers ask for, without engineering intervention.”
-
“Configure complex contracts and close faster. Go from the first quote to the signed deal, without slowing down your sales team.”
-
“Real-time metering plugged straight into your stack. A billion events a month, 99.997% uptime, no nightly batches.”
-
“Hyperline recognizes revenue from the billing it already issues. No ingestion layer, no reconciliation: the numbers come from the transaction itself.”

Key takeaways
- A take-rate isn’t forever, even for a company built on one — but reverting isn’t forever either. Hyperline’s income used to scale with its customers’ billed revenue; less than two years after publishing that model, it dropped the take-rate for a flat $599 entry tier gated by the customer’s revenue band — then brought the take-rate back within a week when the flat-fee experiment didn’t stick, landing at $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed.
- Eligibility-based tiers are simpler to sell than usage-based ones, but that simplicity can be a short-lived experiment. Gating access purely by the customer’s own revenue and subscription count needs no metering infrastructure and produces one clean number ($599/month) instead of a two-variable fee-plus-percentage calculation — but Hyperline’s own week-long trial of that approach suggests the metering discipline it replaced was still doing real work.
- Transparency can regress even from a fully public starting point. Hyperline used to publish every number on its pricing page; today only Launch has one, and Growth/Scale are both quote-only — proof that “we publish our pricing” is a moving target, not a permanent state.
- Removing a free trial is a real strategic bet. Dropping “10 invoices free, no credit card” trades a low-friction self-serve wedge for an entirely paid funnel — a bet that Hyperline’s target buyer (a finance team evaluating a billing migration) converts better through a demo than a trial.
- Compare-plans tables and plan cards can drift out of sync — and back in. For about a week from 2026-07-29, Hyperline’s plan cards headlined CPQ starting at Growth even though its own compare-plans table showed CPQ shipping from Launch; by 2026-08-04 the Launch card headlined CPQ directly, resolving the mismatch — a reminder to audit marketing copy against the entitlement table it’s meant to summarize, since the two can disagree even briefly.
UBP implications
- A revenue take-rate is the ultimate aligned value metric — and dropping it can be a harder call than it looks. Charging a percentage of billed revenue ties vendor income directly to customer success; Hyperline ran that model from its 2023 launch, dropped it entirely on 2026-07-29 for flat, revenue-band-gated tiers, then reinstated it on 2026-08-04 — proof that alignment can lose to simplicity for a week, but simplicity doesn’t always win the argument long-term. See usage-based pricing strategy.
- Eligibility gating on self-reported data is not the same discipline as usage metering, and the two can also coexist. Hyperline’s Launch/Growth/Scale bands are set by the customer’s own stated annual revenue and active-subscription count rather than anything the product observes in-product — a cheaper way to segment buyers than building a metering pipeline alone, but Hyperline’s current Launch price shows the two mechanics layered together (eligibility band gates the tier, the take-rate meters what happens inside it) rather than substituting for each other.
- A vendor’s own metered feature can be dropped as a pricing mechanic and then restored, independent of the product feature itself. Usage-based and hybrid pricing configuration is sold inside Hyperline’s Growth tier and above as a capability for its customers throughout this whole period — Hyperline’s decision to stop, then resume, billing itself with a take-rate on Launch never touched that underlying product capability, a reminder that “usage-based” as a product feature and as a vendor’s own pricing model are independent decisions that can each change on their own timeline.

Bottom line
As of 2026-08-04, Hyperline once again prices itself partly like a payment processor. The flat-fee-plus-percentage-of-revenue take-rate that defined it since its 2023 launch was dropped entirely on 2026-07-29 for a flat $599/month Launch tier — but that experiment lasted less than a week: by 2026-08-04 Launch was back to $299/month plus 0.7% of revenue processed (up to $2M in annual revenue, up to 100 active subscriptions), with Growth ($2M-$20M revenue) and Scale (above $20M revenue) both still custom-quoted. The whipsaw shows how quickly a repricing bet can be reversed when it doesn’t stick — but the underlying transparency loss from the 2026-07-29 change never fully reversed: Growth and Scale buyers still negotiate with no published anchor at all, and the “10 invoices free, no credit card” trial that made Hyperline easy to try before buying remains gone.

Each milestone below corresponds to a public pricing change, product launch, or material adjustment. Major events use a filled marker; minor adjustments use a faded one.
Take-rate reinstated: Launch back to $299 + 0.7% of revenue
Hyperline's flat $599/month Launch tier lasted about a week. Launch is now $299/month plus 0.7% of revenue processed, still gated at up to $2M in annual revenue and up to 100 active subscriptions; Growth and Scale remain custom-quoted. The Launch plan card also now headlines CPQ (sales quotes & e-signature) directly, matching what the compare-plans table already showed was included at every tier.
Repriced to flat tiers: Launch $599, Growth & Scale custom
Hyperline dropped its percentage-of-revenue take-rate entirely and moved to three flat tiers gated by the customer's own annual revenue and active-contract count: Launch at $599/month (up to $2M revenue, up to 100 active contracts), Growth (custom quote, $2M-$20M revenue, up to 1,000 contracts) and Scale (custom quote, above $20M revenue, unlimited contracts). The public 10-invoices-free trial and the 0.6%/0.7%-of-revenue meters are both gone from the live pricing page, which now also carries a new plan-comparison table and an AI-native repositioning on the homepage.
Current public pricing: $199 + 0.6% / $299 + 0.7% / custom
Live pricing: Quote to Cash at $199/mo + 0.6% of revenue (10 invoices free), Quote to Cash + Usage at $299/mo + 0.7% of revenue, and a custom-quoted Quote to Cash + High Volume plan for companies above $5M ARR. CRM/accounting integrations are +$50/integration/mo. Prices are published openly on the pricing page and were re-verified unchanged on 2026-07-23.
$10M seed extension; scale-up of usage billing
Hyperline raised a further $10M seed extension led by Index Ventures (Adelie Capital following), bringing total funding to about $14.4M, citing skyrocketing demand for automated, usage-based billing. The Quote to Cash + Usage tier (unlimited events, real-time consumption, prepaid credits, seat-based billing) is the productized form of that demand.
Public launch with Index Ventures seed round
Hyperline launched publicly in June 2023 alongside a EUR4M seed round led by Index Ventures (with Cocoa VC, Kima Ventures and founders of Qonto, Spendesk and Primer). The product positioned as an end-to-end revenue/billing platform for SaaS with flexible pricing-model support; the platform-fee-plus-percentage-of-revenue model dates from this era.
- · For nearly three years Hyperline's own price scaled with its customers' revenue — a flat platform fee plus 0.6% (or 0.7%) of billed revenue, a take-rate model more common to payment processors than SaaS billing tools. It dropped that mechanic entirely on 2026-07-29 for a flat $599/month Launch tier, then reinstated it less than a week later on 2026-08-04 at $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed — one of the fastest pricing reversals in the corpus.
- · The '10 invoices free, no credit card required' trial — one of the most literal usage-gated free plans in the corpus — disappeared in the same July 2026 repricing that removed the take-rate; all three tiers (Launch, Growth, Scale) now require a paid plan or a custom quote.
- · Hyperline is a Paris (75010) startup founded in 2022 by ex-operators Lucas Bedout and Clement Garbay, backed by Index Ventures and the founders of Qonto, Spendesk and Primer — a French fintech founder network betting on billing as the next layer of the SaaS stack.
Questions & answers
- What is Hyperline's pricing model?
- Hyperline prices in three tiers keyed on the customer's own annual revenue and active-subscription count. Launch is $299/month plus 0.7% of revenue processed for companies with up to $2M in annual revenue and up to 100 active subscriptions. Growth ($2M-$20M in annual revenue, up to 1,000 active subscriptions) and Scale (above $20M in annual revenue, unlimited active subscriptions) are both custom-quoted.
- Does Hyperline offer a free tier?
- No, not on the current pricing page. The previous '10 invoices free, no credit card required' trial has been removed — all three tiers (Launch, Growth, Scale) now require a paid plan or a custom quote.
- How much does Hyperline cost per month?
- The only tier with a published price is Launch, at $299/month plus 0.7% of revenue processed, for companies with up to $2M in annual revenue and up to 100 active subscriptions. Growth and Scale are both custom-quoted based on the customer's revenue band and subscription volume.
- Is Hyperline pricing usage-based or subscription?
- Hyperline's current published pricing is a hybrid of a flat fee and a usage-style take-rate: Launch is $299/month plus 0.7% of revenue processed, gated by the customer's own annual revenue band and active-subscription count, with Growth and Scale moving to custom-quoted contracts. Launch briefly dropped the take-rate for a flat $599/month with no percentage component for about a week in late July 2026, before Hyperline reinstated the 0.7%-of-revenue mechanic on 2026-08-04.
