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.
Portable by Design
Because the hosted platform runs standard Kill Bill, you can move to a self-hosted deployment or the AWS Marketplace appliance at any time. There is no proprietary lock-in.
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 Kill Bill Aviate 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.
No re-integration required. Because all deployment models use the same Kill Bill APIs and data model, migrating between them does not require rewriting your billing integration.
Architectural Freedom
No vendor lock-in
With many billing platforms, migrating away means rebuilding your billing integration. Kill Bill is different. The platform is open source, and all deployment options — including the hosted platform — use the same architecture.
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
Your data is yours. The Kill Bill data model is consistent across all deployment options, so moving your data between the hosted platform and a self-hosted instance is straightforward.
API Compatibility
The hosted platform exposes the same Kill Bill REST APIs. Integrations you build against the hosted platform work with self-hosted deployments without modification.
You own your data and your architecture. The Kill Bill Hosted Platform provides operational convenience without sacrificing the portability and freedom that comes with open-source infrastructure.
