Why Tabs wins

Turns contracts into finance-grade data
Orb turns usage data into invoices. Tabs turns signed terms into finance workflows, so billing schedules, revenue schedules, collections, and ERP records all reflect what the customer actually agreed to.
Connects the full contract-to-cash process
Tabs connects billing, revenue recognition, collections, reporting, and ERP sync from the same commercial foundation. Finance teams are not left stitching together separate workflows after the invoice is created.
Handles collections beyond dunning
Tabs manages the full collections workflow: bespoke follow-up, ACH and card reconciliation, AP portals, and payment matching, not just automated reminder emails.

Which should you choose?

Both platforms help teams turn usage and contract data into billing workflows. Orb focuses on usage-based billing; Tabs connects usage billing to the full contract-to-cash workflow.

I think time is the biggest ROI factor. We saved about 80 to 90% of our billing time on a monthly basis. That alone is a huge impact on a team that’s trying to keep up, implement new products, and keep pushing the boundaries moving forward.
