Ask HN: Subscription management/billing software?
We're currently in the final phases of development on a web startup, and are getting ready to sort out the logistics of providing subscription based software. I'm wondering if anyone has any comments on software to manage subscriptions & handle monthly billing? I've seen quite a bit of it out there, but don't have any experience with it.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

- NoBSWebDesign 18y agoWe use BlinkSale (http://www.blinksale.com http://www.blinksale.com) for invoicing and like it very much. They have a nice interface for creating templates and recurring invoices as well. Though, as I began digging deeper into this area, I've begun to think that there are a lot of sites that do exactly the same thing in exactly the same way. Go with one that's free to begin with, and pay if you like it I suppose.
- icey 18y agoI liked BlinkSale quite a bit as well, although it's been a year or so since I've used it as I'm not consulting anymore.
