What is Sequence?
Sequence is filling in the enterprise checklist for its quote-to-cash billing platform.
Sequence ships small, frequent updates across quoting, billing and accounting sync. October brought enterprise SSO, amendment and upsell quotes that change live contracts, two-way QuickBooks sync for payments and credit notes, NetSuite item mapping on credit grants, and one-time-code login for the customer portal.
What is Zoho Billing?
Zoho Billing is bending item-based subscriptions to fit how services firms bill
Zoho Billing's recent entries extend item-based subscriptions and services billing. On-demand subscriptions let a business raise invoices manually per cycle, hosted payment pages now sell item-based subscriptions, and progress invoices can track service items by amount. Timesheets accept time against a customer and service without a project, and TDS can be applied at recording, payment or both. Earlier in September came omnichannel subscriptions synced from the App Store and Google Play, in early access.
Sequence vs Zoho Billing: editorial side-by-side
Sequence
5.0FINANCE
Sequence is filling in the enterprise checklist for its quote-to-cash billing platform.
◆ Current state
Sequence ships small, frequent updates across quoting, billing and accounting sync. October brought enterprise SSO, amendment and upsell quotes that change live contracts, two-way QuickBooks sync for payments and credit notes, NetSuite item mapping on credit grants, and one-time-code login for the customer portal.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is connecting the whole revenue path, from quote approval through contract changes to the general ledger, while adding the access controls larger customers require. Accounting integrations are getting deeper, not just wider.
◆ Prediction
Expect more enterprise controls (roles, audit trails) and further two-way ERP sync, following SSO and the QuickBooks work.

Zoho Billing is bending item-based subscriptions to fit how services firms bill
◆ Current state
Zoho Billing's recent entries extend item-based subscriptions and services billing. On-demand subscriptions let a business raise invoices manually per cycle, hosted payment pages now sell item-based subscriptions, and progress invoices can track service items by amount. Timesheets accept time against a customer and service without a project, and TDS can be applied at recording, payment or both. Earlier in September came omnichannel subscriptions synced from the App Store and Google Play, in early access.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving beyond plan-based SaaS subscriptions toward businesses that bill services, mixed items and app-store purchases. Many of these features ship as early access first.
◆ Prediction
Several of these early-access features, on-demand subscriptions and amount-based progress invoices among them, are likely to reach general availability next.
