FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the core difference between TrueRev and Subscript?

Subscript is a comprehensive billing platform designed to replace your entire billing infrastructure — handling invoice generation, payment collection, revenue recognition, and analytics in one unified system. TrueRev is a focused revenue recognition platform that works alongside your existing billing system. If your billing works fine and you need ASC 606 compliance, TrueRev solves your actual problem starting at $299/month: Starter Tier without disrupting what already works.

Does TrueRev support ASC 606 compliance?

Yes! TrueRev is fully ASC 606 compliant out of the box. Our platform automates revenue recognition schedules, eliminates manual spreadsheet work, and ensures you stay compliant without the complexity. We handle the technical accounting requirements while you focus on growing your business.

How long does it take to implement TrueRev?

Most TrueRev customers are operational within days to two weeks. Because we don't replace your billing system, there's no infrastructure migration — you connect to QuickBooks, configure your revenue recognition policies, and you're live. Compare that to Subscript's multi-week implementation that includes migrating billing workflows, configuring a new invoicing system, and onboarding your team to new processes.

What integrations does TrueRev offer?

TrueRev offers native QuickBooks integration that syncs all your revenue data automatically, keeping your accounting and revenue recognition in perfect harmony. QuickBooks connection is straightforward and eliminates double-entry work.

How much does TrueRev cost?

TrueRev starts at $299/month ($3,588/year) for the Starter tier — no onboarding fee, no billing volume thresholds, no surprises. Pricing is published openly on our website so you know exactly what you're paying before you ever talk to sales. Subscript ranges from $15,000 to $150,000/year with an average around $24,000, plus an additional onboarding fee on top of that. Even at TrueRev's entry price, you're looking at roughly $10,764 over three years versus $72,000+ for Subscript — a difference of more than $61,000 you can put back into your team and roadmap.

Can TrueRev handle complex revenue recognition policies?

Absolutely! TrueRev is highly flexible and can accommodate unique revenue recognition policies. As one customer said, "We have a very strange rev rec policy, but TrueRev works well for me because it's very flexible—takes maybe 10 minutes to put in a contract." We built TrueRev to adapt to your business, not force you into rigid workflows.

When would Subscript be a better choice? 

Subscript makes sense when your billing system itself is broken — if you're spending 20+ hours per month on manual invoicing, struggling with billing errors, or your pricing model involves complex usage-based components that require metering infrastructure. It's also a strong option if you're actively replacing Maxio or Chargebee and want a unified billing + RevRec + analytics platform. If your billing works fine and you just need revenue recognition, Subscript is more platform than you need.
