Maxio Pricing 2026: Grow at $599 a Month, Then Scale

Maxio costs $599 a month on its Grow plan, for companies with up to $100,000 in monthly billings, and Scale is priced by quote above that line, as read on Maxio's pricing page on October 21, 2026. Default agreements are paid annually, so Grow is a $7,188 yearly commitment on our arithmetic. Monthly or quarterly payment costs extra, users are unlimited, and multi-year terms earn a discount.

For a finance team, the fixed fee is the whole story on Grow: there is no percentage of billings on top of the published price. That makes Maxio expensive at low volume and competitive near the top of Grow's billing band, where percentage-based rivals start to cost more. This page prices four volumes, maps what Grow leaves out, and shows where Stripe Billing or Recurly comes out cheaper. The product itself is assessed in our Maxio review.

Toolradar data: Toolradar, the software directory we run, evaluated 89 subscription billing tools for its subscription billing ranking as of October 21, 2026, and only 3 of its top 10 have a free plan. Maxio's pricing page lists no free plan either, so Grow's flat fee applies from the first invoice. Maxio's directory entry is Maxio on Toolradar.

Maxio plans at a glance

Both plans share the core: usage-based, fixed and milestone billing, e-invoicing, proforma invoices, consolidated invoicing, a customer portal, renewal management, collections and dunning, 20+ payment gateways, and integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive. The split shows up in revenue accounting and reporting depth, not in the ability to send an invoice.

What Grow leaves out

Grow covers billing well and revenue accounting only at a standard level. Maxio's comparison table marks four items as Scale features in its summary rows: advanced revenue management, expense amortization, metering and rating, and multi-entity support. Lower down, the same table marks a further set as available on Grow only as an add-on:

• Revenue recognition: performance obligations, standalone selling prices (SSPs), carveouts and multiple revenue books.
• Reporting: the expense summary, the A/R aging health trend and days sales outstanding.
• A/R management: message templates, statements and DSO reporting.
• Optional modules: advanced revenue management, A/R management, expense amortization, milestone-based projects, multi-entity, event-based billing and EU hosting.

Maxio publishes no price for any add-on. For a controller, the practical reading is this: a company with simple subscriptions and ASC 606 handled by schedule fits on Grow. A company with bundled contracts that need SSP allocation, or several legal entities, should expect to price Scale or a stack of modules, and should ask for those numbers in writing before signing.

What does Maxio cost at different billing volumes?

The table below sets Grow against two rivals that publish volume-based prices: Stripe Billing, read on Stripe's US billing pricing page, and Recurly, read on Recurly's pricing page, both on October 21, 2026. Stripe charges 0.7% of billing volume on pay-as-you-go, or $620 a month on a one-year contract covering the same volume band as Grow. Recurly Starter is $249 a month plus 0.9% of billing volume, with the first $40,000 each month included at no charge. Every total is our arithmetic on those printed prices, for the platform fee only.

Maxio Grow costs the same flat fee in every row, so the table shows what each rival charges and which of the four options is cheapest.

Stripe's annual plan stays at its fixed monthly price at every volume in the table, so it never undercuts Grow inside this band.

Maxio is the cheapest of the four only near the top of its band. Grow's flat fee overtakes Stripe's 0.7% at about $85,600 of monthly billings and Recurly Starter at about $78,900, our arithmetic on the printed rates. Below roughly $75,000 a month, both rivals cost less, and at $25,000 a month Maxio costs more than three times Stripe's pay-as-you-go bill.

As a share of billings, the same flat fee falls from 2.4% at $25,000 a month to 0.6% at the top of the band. A company growing quickly toward the ceiling gets steadily better value from the same contract, and a company stuck at low volume pays a high effective rate for a year.

Annual payment, monthly options and multi-year discounts

Maxio's FAQ says its default agreements are paid annually and that monthly and quarterly payments are available as "premium options", so expect a higher price for spreading the bill. It prints no figure for that premium. In the other direction, its FAQ says pricing is flexible by contract length and that multi-year agreements carry discounts, again without a published rate.

Two things follow for budgeting. First, treat Grow as roughly $7,200 of annual software spend payable up front, not as a monthly line you can cancel. Second, if you are confident you will stay inside Grow's band for two or three years, a multi-year term is where the negotiating room sits.

Users, seats and the hidden cost line

Maxio says users are unlimited at no additional charge, which matters more than it looks. Finance, sales operations and customer success can all work in the billing system without a per-seat line growing with the team. Payment processing is a separate line: Maxio lists Maxio Payments and 20+ gateways, and processing fees are not part of the published platform price.

When Scale becomes the conversation

The published threshold is simple: once monthly billings pass Grow's ceiling, Maxio prices you on Scale by quote. Revenue accounting needs can also push you there sooner. Any requirement for performance obligations, multiple revenue books, multi-entity consolidation or EU hosting moves you into add-on or Scale territory regardless of volume.

How we priced this

Maxio's plan names, the Grow price and billing threshold, the feature table and the FAQ answers were read on Maxio's pricing page on October 21, 2026. Stripe Billing and Recurly rates come from their own US pricing pages on the same day. Every total, break-even and percentage is our arithmetic on those printed prices. Maxio prints no add-on, Scale, premium-payment or multi-year price, so none appears here as a number.

FAQ

How much does Maxio cost per month?

Maxio's Grow plan costs $599 a month for companies with up to $100,000 in monthly billings, as listed on its pricing page in October 2026. Agreements are paid annually by default, so the yearly commitment is $7,188. Companies above that line move to the Scale plan, which is priced by quote.

Does Maxio charge a percentage of billings?

Not on the published Grow price: Grow is a flat monthly fee for its whole billing band, with no percentage shown on top. Payment processing fees sit outside that platform price. Scale pricing is quoted, so ask how it is structured.

Does Maxio have a free plan or free trial?

Maxio's pricing page lists no free plan, only Grow and Scale, and its buttons lead to a demo or a sales conversation rather than a sign-up. The "free trials" entry in its feature table refers to trials you can offer your own customers through Maxio's billing.

Does Maxio charge per user?

No. Maxio's FAQ says you can have as many users as you like at no additional charge, so adding finance, sales or support staff does not raise the bill.

Can I pay Maxio monthly?

Yes, but at a premium. Maxio's FAQ says its default agreements are paid annually and that monthly and quarterly payments are available as premium options. It does not publish the size of that premium.

Is Maxio cheaper than Stripe Billing?

Only near the top of Grow's band. On our arithmetic, Grow's flat fee beats Stripe's 0.7% pay-as-you-go rate above about $85,600 of monthly billings and is $101 cheaper at the top of the band. At $50,000 a month, Stripe's pay-as-you-go fee is $350, or $249 less than Grow.
