What It Is
A fully managed deployment of Kill Bill
The Kill Bill Hosted Platform is a production-ready deployment of Kill Bill operated by ChaChing, Kill Bill's exclusive hosted platform partner. It is designed for companies that want the capabilities of Kill Bill without managing the underlying infrastructure.
Same Kill Bill Platform
The hosted platform runs Kill Bill's open-source core. The APIs, data model, plugin architecture, and billing logic are the same as in any other Kill Bill deployment.
Operated by ChaChing
ChaChing manages the infrastructure, monitoring, upgrades, and day-to-day operations. Your team focuses on building your billing workflows, not maintaining servers.
Built on Open Source
The hosted platform is based on the open-source Kill Bill project. If you are considering a different deployment model, discuss data export, migration effort, and applicable contract terms with the provider.
When To Choose
Is the hosted platform right for you?
The Kill Bill Hosted Platform is designed for teams that want production billing without the overhead of managing infrastructure.
The hosted platform is a good fit when:
You want a hosted billing solution out of the box and billing infrastructure is not yet a strategic priority
Your engineering team is small and you have limited DevOps capacity
You have standard subscription billing requirements and want to launch quickly
You want to avoid managing databases, load balancers, and application servers
You want the option to move to self-hosted Kill Bill as your company grows
For larger companies, companies with complex billing requirements, or teams that need full infrastructure control: self-hosted Kill Bill or Aviate, the enterprise offering built on Kill Bill, is typically the better fit.
Deployment Options
Run Kill Bill your way
Kill Bill supports multiple deployment models. All three options run the same Kill Bill platform: the same APIs, the same data model, the same plugin architecture.
Full control
Self-Hosted Kill Bill
Open-source deployment on your own infrastructure. Complete ownership of your data, your cloud, and your compliance posture. Best for engineering-led teams that want maximum flexibility.
AWS Marketplace
Kill Bill for AWS
Preconfigured Kill Bill distribution on AWS Marketplace. Accelerates deployment while you maintain infrastructure ownership. A middle ground between self-hosting and fully managed.
Fully managed
Kill Bill Hosted Platform
Fully managed Kill Bill operated by ChaChing. Designed for startups and SMBs that prefer not to operate infrastructure. Same Kill Bill platform, zero infrastructure overhead.
Migration Path
Grow at your own pace
Companies can move between Kill Bill deployment models as their needs evolve. The architecture, APIs, and data model remain consistent across all options.
1
Start on the Hosted Platform
Launch quickly on the Kill Bill Hosted Platform powered by ChaChing. Focus on your product and billing workflows.
2
Move to AWS Marketplace
When you need more infrastructure control, deploy Kill Bill on AWS using the Marketplace appliance. Same APIs, your AWS account.
3
Self-host Kill Bill
At scale, run Kill Bill entirely on your own infrastructure with full control over every aspect of the deployment.
Built on Kill Bill. The hosted platform uses Kill Bill APIs and its data model. Moving between deployment models still requires planning for your data, integrations, and operating requirements.
Architectural Freedom
Open-source foundation, deployment choices
Kill Bill is open source under Apache 2.0, and the hosted platform is based on the Kill Bill project. Moving between hosting or deployment options still requires evaluating data portability, integrations, migration work, and applicable contract terms.
Open Source Core
Kill Bill's source code is publicly available on GitHub. You can inspect it, modify it, and run it on your own infrastructure at any time. The hosted platform does not change this.
Data Portability
The hosted platform uses Kill Bill's data model. Confirm available export formats and migration requirements with the provider before planning a move to a self-hosted instance.
API Compatibility
The hosted platform exposes Kill Bill REST APIs. Review any provider-specific integrations and configuration before moving them to a self-hosted deployment.
Kill Bill's open-source license lets teams inspect and run the code themselves. Data export, migration work, and hosting arrangements depend on the specific deployment and provider.
