At-a-Glance Comparison
Why Teams Switch from Tabs to Vayu
Tabs bills from contracts. Vayu bills from real activity.
Tabs reads the contract and generates invoices based on legal terms, not operational delivery.
Works for static SaaS, breaks for usage-based, API-based, or volume-based revenue.
Connects to your systems (databases, APIs, logs) and bills based on what actually happened in real time.
Tabs requires CRM/ERP as the data source
Tabs depends on Salesforce / HubSpot / Netsuite fields, not product or usage systems.
Finance can’t see real consumption, margin, or delivery in one place.
Directly ingests usage + delivery data, eliminating spreadsheets and manual reconciliation.
Usage billing is add-on only, not native
Tabs supports usage only through Stripe-based integration or custom mapping.
Vayu is built for 1M+ usage events per day- API calls, compute, storage, datasets, seats, or entitlement tiers.
Tabs automates invoicing. Vayu automates the full revenue lifecycle.
Tabs = contract ingestion → invoice creation
Vayu = pricing → metering → billing → rev rec → forecasting → margin analytics (in one platform)
