Maxio Alternative
Smarter Revenue Management with Vayu
Vayu gives finance teams end-to-end control of pricing, billing, revenue recognition, and forecasting, not just subscription billing. If you’ve outgrown Maxio’s billing + rev-rec stack and need finance-owned, real-time control across hybrid/usage pricing, margin visibility, and forecasting, Vayu is the better fit.
At-a-Glance Comparison
Why Teams Switch from Maxio to Vayu
Maxio is great billing + rev-rec;
Vayu is a full revenue engine
Maxio excels at subscription/usage billing and ASC 606 compliance, but teams still stitch together forecasting, margin visibility, and BI for true revenue control.
Finance ends up reconciling exports and building logic outside the system of record, slowing decisions.
One platform from pricing - metering - billing - rev-rec - forecasting, operated by Finance with no code.
Usage metering from raw events needs engineering on Maxio;
Vayu removes that bottleneck
Implementing multi-attribute usage meters and event pipelines typically involves APIs, mapping, and technical owners.
Pricing iterations, new units, or contract logic wait for sprint cycles.
No-code metering + pricing with finance-owned rules; engineering only wires the event stream once.
Finance wants live forecasting + margin, not just compliant rev-rec
Maxio provides rev-rec and dashboards, but many teams rely on a warehouse/BI layer for margin, NRR drivers, and forecasting.
Real-time forecasting, margin/NRR insights, and anomaly detection directly on unified usage + contract data.
Vayu replaces more of the stack
With Vayu, finance can consolidate: usage metering, subscription/usage billing, rev-rec, forecasting, and reporting into one finance-operated system.
