Engine by engine
Recurly vs Chargebee: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend subscription billing, Chargebee is recommended more often than Recurly — scoring 83/100 for AI visibility versus 48/100. Chargebee shows up in 90% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Recurly shows up in 60%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Chargebee is clearly favoured: Recurly is recommended 20% of the time and Chargebee 80%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best subscription billing software for small businesses?” is far likely to put Chargebee on its shortlist. Both are in the running, but the more consistently a brand is described the same way across the web, the more confidently the models name it.
