Why Is Subscription Billing So 2020

Out with the old and in with the new. Subscription billing has changed our business models forever. But after the turmoil in 2020, the as-a-service economy is moving into pay-per-use and bespoke propositions to better align with client needs.

How can you provide flexibility to your clients and maintain the recurring revenue? In this blog, we discuss the limitations of subscription billing and what to do going forward.

Why subscription billing has not fully met expectations in B2B

Subscription billing has taken our economy by storm. It might be a great way to bill straightforward propositions, but in B2B demand is less predictable and typically more complex than a simple subscription. In B2B, contracts need to facilitate that complexity. This why we see pay-per-use and hybrid subscription billing models with our clients.

2020 taught us that agility is the key - it applies to billing too

Fluctuating demand cannot be met by rigid billing systems. As your clients strive to become more agile, their needs will change.

You will want to facilitate your clients with flexible offerings beyond plain subscription billing. If you can facilitate flexible demand, customer-specific pricing, and possibly data-driven usage-based pricing, you can maintain a sustainable and profitable client relationship.

In short: your billing system will need to cope with the new normal, where agility is the key.
