Take Control of Your Subscriptions with UniBee.
UniBee is an open-source, gateway-agnostic subscription billing platform offering a free self-hosted edition and a managed cloud option — so you get enterprise features without the hidden fees or limits. Launch faster, bill any way you want, and keep control of your recurring revenue.
Your Recurring Billing System Holds You Back?
If it feels like a cage, you’re not alone.
- High transaction and platform fees that eat into margins.
- Limited payment gateway options and forced routing.
- Rigid pricing engines that make usage-based, tiered, or hybrid plans painful.
- Black-box hosted platforms that limit customization and portability.
- Fragile dunning and recovery that lose revenue when payments fail.
- Fragmented invoicing, compliance, and revenue recognition workflows that add months to close.
You need an automated recurring billing platform that’s powerful and portable — one that treats subscriptions, invoices, and revenue as yours to design and scale.
UniBee: A Subscription Billing Platform Built for Control
UniBee exists to solve the exact limitations other vendors gloss over. We combine the full feature set of leading recurring billing software with free open-source core and gateway freedom — so you never pay for basic rights again.
Run anywhere. Own everything.
No vendor lock-in means you can move, customize, or audit your billing data and logic anytime. UniBee is built to be a drop-in subscription payment software replacement with exportable data, transparent pricing, and source-level access for teams that demand ownership.
We aren’t just another recurring invoicing platform — UniBee is a full subscription billing system with a developer-friendly API, giving your team a flexible platform to build upon.
Bill Any Way: From Flat-Rate to Usage-Based
UniBee supports tiered, usage-based, metered, flat-rate pricing and add-ons out of the box. That means you can run product experiments, roll out usage-based subscriptions, or host complex enterprise offers without wrestling with clumsy workarounds. Our meter & rating engine and webhook-first architecture let you implement fair and creative plans that maximize subscription revenue.
Because billing should fuel growth, not block it, UniBee includes automated dunning, intelligent retry strategies, and prebuilt revenue recovery flows so your recurring payment system actually collects more revenue — while preserving customer experience.
Enterprise Features, Predictable Costs.
UniBee includes global tax automation, invoicing, and revenue recognition primitives. Built for scale, UniBee supports millions of transactions, PCI-scope minimization, audit trails, and predictable hosting costs so finance teams finally get the visibility they deserve.
Our cloud edition provides a fully managed recurring invoicing software experience with SLAs, or you can self-host UniBee for total compliance control. Either way, you get the same APIs and the same behaviors — no surprise vendor lock-in.
