Hi, Matt and Daniel here, cofounders of Paigo. Today we are extremely excited to launch Paigo 2.0 to the community:

Billing on autopilot with flexibility!

Problem

Based on continuous industry interviews, customer discovery, product feedback, and community participation, we observed the following status quo regarding billing operations in the startup world today:

• Pricing is a unique strategy for businesses, not industries. Copying others' pricing does not give an advantage to early-stage startups because they are playing a game with rules defined by others. A superior pricing strategy is the key to playing a game you can win.
• Billing practices vary from company to company, even among competitors in the same homogeneous industry.
• The tools involved in billing practices are extremely fragmented, resulting in siloed data. Just to name a few: Postgres, Google Sheets, NetSuite, Quickbooks, Stripe, internal systems, etc.
• At every stage of a company, someone has to work on billing in a manual or semi-manual way, including founders, BizOps, Prod, Eng, and RevOps. These tasks include, but are not limited to:
  • Share data: contract price, product usage, discount, historical bills, credits, etc.
  • Billing cycles: create bills, review, approve, send, collect payments
  • Collect failed payments and answer customer questions about bills
  • Handle special cases in customer billing that are not coded into the billing system
  • Synchronize data between systems, consolidate, fix, and utilize (Sales/Accounting/Finance/Growth/Product/Engineering)
  • Write one-off scripts to extract data from the production database for reporting or analytics purposes.
• Teams spend anywhere from half a day to 5 days every month working on something related to billing, which is insane.

Based on these observations, we invested a significant amount of effort into Paigo 2.0 and are now making it generally available as the Billing Autopilot with Flexibility. Here are its key feature highlights:
