Zone Billing Alternative
Smarter Revenue Management with Vayu
Vayu gives finance teams end-to-end control of pricing, metering, billing, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and forecasting, not just a NetSuite-native billing add-on. If you’ve outgrown ZoneBilling’s NetSuite-first approach and need finance-owned, no-code control across hybrid/usage pricing, real-time margin visibility, and forecasting in one place, Vayu is the better fit.
At-a-Glance Comparison
Why Teams Switch from Zone Billing to Vayu
ZoneBilling is powerful inside NetSuite; Vayu is a full revenue engine
ZoneBilling excels at subscription/usage billing and ASC 606 within NetSuite, but teams still stitch forecasting, margin visibility, and complex usage intelligence across saved searches, spreadsheets, or BI.
Finance ends up reconciling exports and modeling outside the system of record, slowing decisions and dulling pricing iteration.
One platform from pricing - metering - billing - rev-rec - forecasting, operated by Finance in a no-code UI.
Usage rating often remains a technical workflow in ZoneBilling; Vayu removes that bottleneck
For usage-based billing, teams upload usage, run rating Suitelets/automations, and tune priority, recommended even in partner guides.
Each new unit, attribute, or contract rule becomes a technical step, delaying pricing iterations and increasing ops risk.
No-code metering + pricing owned by Finance/RevOps; engineering wires the event stream once, then Finance iterates freely.
CFOs want live forecasting + margin, not just compliant rev-rec
ZoneBilling’s strength is billing + rev-rec within NetSuite; forecasting/margin analysis often sits in BI/warehouse or separate tools.
Real-time forecasting and margin/NRR insights tied to unified usage + contract data, without export gymnastics.
Vayu consolidates more of the stack
With Vayu, finance can consolidate usage metering, subscription/usage billing, rev-rec, forecasting, and revenue analytics into a single finance-operated system, ERP-agnostic.
