Expert Take

Zuora is overkill below $10M ARR. Above that, the alternative to Zuora is usually a homegrown billing system built on top of Stripe, and those systems break in the same ways every time: proration bugs, revenue recognition spreadsheets, dunning failures. Zuora solves those problems at a price that reflects it.
