What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Recurly

Leader

An all-in-one subscription and revenue management platform that handles recurring billing, payment processing, revenue recognition, and customer lifecycle engagement for subscription businesses.

Independently observed

Viobusiness

VioBusiness is an iPhone and Android app for invoices, quotes, and expenses. It runs entirely on your phone - no sign-up required, no monthly bill - and keeps your books as private as they used to be on paper. Cross-device cloud backup is an optional add-on, never a default.
