Chargebee, an US-based billing and monetisation platform for recurring revenue businesses, has bought payments intelligence provider Inai.  

Financial specifics of the deal remain undisclosed.   

Inai’s platform delivers a suite of intelligent payment solutions, including real-time analytics and automated insights that help merchants identify revenue opportunities.  

These tools serve as an integrated payment expert, analyst, and machine learning engineer. 

Additionally, Inai’s platform offers unified settlement and fee intelligence, which aims to streamline financial operations as well as lower manual tasks. 

Its AI-driven optimisation is designed to address failed payments, minimise involuntary churn, and enhance customer lifetime value. 

With the inclusion of Inai’s team, which brings expertise in AI and payments, Chargebee intends to accelerate its development in the areas of payments observability, fee intelligence, and AI-driven revenue recovery.  

Chargebee co-founder and CEO Krish Subramanian said: “For over a decade, Chargebee has championed choice, transparency, and efficiency as core elements of our merchant-first payments strategy.  

“The acquisition of Inai is a major step forward on our mission to empower every merchant with greater visibility and control over their payments experience, no matter which gateways they choose or where they operate. We are thrilled to welcome the Inai team to Chargebee, and we are excited to see them accelerate our innovation roadmap.” 

Inai founders Anantharaman Pattabiraman and Karthik Narayanan stated: “Chargebee’s large merchant base and powerful billing and monetisation stack, combined with Inai’s product suite and expertise in AI and payments, create a natural synergy that will deliver tangible, measurable outcomes for merchants worldwide — helping them increase revenue, improve margins, and reduce operational burden.”
