What is Zoho Billing?
Zoho Billing turns its reports toward churn and line-item revenue.
Zoho Billing's late-October run is about seeing inside subscriptions. A new Subscription Line Item report breaks every subscription into rows with quantity, price, discount and tax, churn reports now show the reasons customers gave for cancelling, and the customer portal's subscription page gains billing and usage tabs. Smaller additions let imports carry Plan IDs and let rule-based revenue recognition close out deferred revenue when a service finishes early.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.

Zoho Billing
5.0FINANCE
Zoho Billing turns its reports toward churn and line-item revenue.
◆ Current state
Zoho Billing's late-October run is about seeing inside subscriptions. A new Subscription Line Item report breaks every subscription into rows with quantity, price, discount and tax, churn reports now show the reasons customers gave for cancelling, and the customer portal's subscription page gains billing and usage tabs. Smaller additions let imports carry Plan IDs and let rule-based revenue recognition close out deferred revenue when a service finishes early.
◆ Where it's heading
After a September and early October focused on item-based and services billing, the product is filling in reporting and self-service around those subscriptions. The emphasis is on explaining revenue and churn to the business, and usage to the end customer, rather than on new billing models.
◆ Prediction
Expect more subscription analytics, such as churn or line-item data surfacing in dashboards, and more early-access revenue recognition options, the two threads recent entries keep extending.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
