## The panel's verdict

Hyperline, a billing platform from Hyperline SAS, scores best on the subscription engine, 6 to 7, and collections and dunning, 6 at min and max: recurring, usage-based and hybrid pricing, CPQ quotes with e-signature and multi-currency billing are named, and dunning sequences, retries and reconciliation run across Stripe, GoCardless, Mollie and Airwallex. Revenue and handoff scores 6 to 7 on a revenue-recognition module, accounting integrations to Pennylane, Exact Online and Rillet, and open APIs with webhooks. Tax handling scores 0 at min and max, with no public information on cross-border VAT, reverse charge or US sales tax; invoicing compliance scores 3 at min and max, as the terms cap invoice access at a rolling twelve months and put legal archiving on the client. Sovereignty scores 5: French entity, platform hosted on EU servers, no named infrastructure provider. The one-point spreads, on the subscription engine and revenue handoff, turn on how far judges credited named features despite undocumented proration and trials. Pricing transparency scores 5: Launch at $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed; Growth and Scale, Custom Pricing on request.

**Speaks for it:**
- The subscription engine names recurring, usage-based and hybrid pricing, CPQ quotes with e-signature and multi-currency billing.
- Dunning sequences, automatic retries and reconciliation are described as running on their own across named providers Stripe, GoCardless, Mollie and Airwallex.
- A revenue-recognition module, accounting integrations to Pennylane, Exact Online and Rillet, CRM links to HubSpot, Salesforce and Attio, and open APIs with real-time webhooks are all named.
- Launch is published in full — $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed, up to $2M in annual revenue and 100 active subscriptions — with a thirty-day penalty-free exit if fees change.
- The contract runs under French law with the platform hosted on servers located in the European Union and a data processing addendum attached.

**Held against it:**
- Tax handling scored 0: we found no public information on VAT rates by customer country, reverse charge with VAT ID validation, One-Stop-Shop reporting or US sales tax.
- Invoicing compliance scored 3: invoice access is capped at a rolling twelve months, long-term retention and legal archiving are exclusively the client's, and we found no public information on sequential numbering, credit notes or structured e-invoices such as XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Peppol.
- Growth and Scale are 'Custom Pricing on request' and the add-on modules carry no public price, so above the $2M Launch cap the annual cost is not computable from public pages.
- We found no public information on proration, trials, or customers changing or cancelling their own subscription — the hosted portal covers invoice and billing-information access only.
- No ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification is stated, the platform's infrastructure provider is not named, and the public website is hosted by Vercel Inc. in Covina, California.

**Best for:**
- You run a subscription or usage-based SaaS and want CPQ quotes with e-signature, hybrid pricing and multi-currency billing handled by the engine rather than a custom build.
- You bill up to $2M in annual revenue and want a computable price before signing: $299/month + 0.7% of revenue processed, up to 100 active subscriptions.
- You want dunning sequences, retries and reconciliation to run on their own across several payment providers, so your team only picks up accounts that need a human.
- You want a French contracting entity under French law, platform hosting on servers in the European Union, and a data processing addendum attached to the contract.

**Avoid if:**
- You sell across borders and need the product to apply VAT by customer country, reverse charge or One-Stop-Shop reporting — tax handling scored 0 and we found no public information on any of it.
- You face audit or e-invoicing mandates: the terms cap invoice access at a rolling twelve months, put long-term retention and legal archiving exclusively on you, and we found no public information on sequential numbering, credit notes or structured formats such as XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Peppol.
- You are above $2M in annual revenue and need to compute your annual cost before committing — Growth and Scale are 'Custom Pricing on request' and the add-on modules carry no public price.
- Your exit plan depends on exporting subscriptions and stored payment details — the published migration record covers 300+ moves in from Chargebee and Stripe Billing, and invoice access is capped at a rolling twelve months.

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The SaaS Founder** (v1.0): Runs a twelve-person SaaS that sells to companies in nine EU countries and is about to add a usage-based tier. Wants plans, trials and price changes without a developer sprint, reverse charge that is right without thinking about it, failed cards retried before they turn into churn, and a billing bill that does not grow faster than revenue.
- **The Finance Lead** (v1.0): Closes the month for a software company with eight million euros of recurring revenue. Wants MRR that reconciles with the ledger, deferred revenue scheduled rather than estimated in a spreadsheet, a journal or DATEV export the accountants can book without retyping, and dunning that stops before it reaches a key account.
- **The Billing Engineer** (v1.0): Wires billing into the product and gets paged when a webhook goes missing. Wants a documented API for usage events, idempotent webhooks, entitlements the app can read, a sandbox that behaves like production, and a migration path that moves subscriptions and payment tokens out again if the company outgrows the tool.
- **The Service-Business Owner** (v1.0): Runs an IT service company with two hundred maintenance contracts, hosting packages and monthly retainers, all billed to German businesses. Wants contract terms and price increases handled by the system, SEPA direct debit with mandates, e-invoices that public-sector customers accept, a DATEV export for the tax adviser, and customer data kept in Europe.
- **The Tax Adviser** (v1.0): Advises software and subscription businesses and sees what their billing tools get wrong at the year-end audit. Wants sequential numbering and credit notes instead of edited invoices, XRechnung and ZUGFeRD now that the B2B e-invoice is mandatory, VAT IDs checked before reverse charge is applied, and a merchant of record that says in writing which tax it owes.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen "automated recurring revenue" turn into a tool that takes a percentage of every euro billed and keeps the payment tokens when the customer leaves. Reads "e-invoicing ready" that means a PDF, "global tax compliance" with no word on who is liable, merchant-of-record terms that let the vendor change fees at will, and subprocessor lists that stop at the hosting provider — and asks what leaving would cost.
