Yes. You should, probably in 2027.
On October 15, 2026, Intuit announced it is acquiring the billing system Sequence, effectively killing it as a standalone product. Sequence goes into Intuit Enterprise Suite and QuickBooks Online Advanced, and the Sequence team joins Intuit's mid-market product organisation (Intuit's announcement), meaning it is being de-facto dissolved.
If your general ledger is QuickBooks, this is good news for you and you can skip this article. If it's NetSuite, Xero, Exact, DATEV, Sage, Light, Campfire, Rillet, DualEntry or anything else, the product you bought now has a roadmap that points somewhere you aren't going.
If this is your situation | Look at | Why |
|---|---|---|
You run QuickBooks Online Advanced or Intuit Enterprise Suite and have no intent of moving off of it | Stay with Sequence | You are the target customer now |
Negotiated contracts, any ledger, any PSP, any country | Solvimon | Built for exactly this scenario |
Quoting is the problem and billing is simple | Solvimon | Advanced AI CPQ in Salesforce, HubSpot, Attio as well as via Claude and MCP |
Finance wants strict metrics and GAAP reporting | Maxio or Solvimon | Finance-led, ledger-agnostic |
CPQ plus billing on Stripe on the very cheap | Alguna | A low-priced budget alternative |
It's mostly standard subscriptions | Chargebee | Subscription lifecycle for B2C works well |
Very large, multi-product | Zuora or Solvimon | Enterprise-grade |
The quoting step is the bottleneck | Salesforce Revenue Cloud or DealHub, or even Roadrunner | CPQ-first |
What changed on October 15 2026? Sequence is no more
Intuit's statement says Sequence will give mid-market businesses "a single platform to price, bill, and collect" inside Intuit's products (FinTech Futures). Intuit also says it will keep supporting Sequence's existing customers after closing.
Both of those can be true at the same time. Supported is not the same as prioritised. Here is what a billing team on Sequence should expect, based on how every billing acquisition by an accounting vendor has gone so far (e.g., Chargify into Maxio, Recurly's attempts, Zuora's own M&A).
Sequence's job is now to make QuickBooks Online Advanced and Intuit Enterprise Suite competitive with NetSuite for mid-market B2B. The NetSuite sync, the Xero sync, the Exact sync... these fall off of the roadmap, because no-one at Intuit will put their muscle behind making a QuickBooks competitor work better.
Europe is off the map
Sequence was a London company selling into the UK and Europe. Intuit's mid-market push is US-first. E-invoicing for France 2026, Italy's SDI, Peppol... these were already a partnership with Invopop. Expect them to stay a partnership.
Pricing will absolutley change
Intuit sells suites, not a billing product standalone.
To be clear, none of this is a knock on the Sequence team who are very talented. They built a good product and sold it well. It's just that the buyer you evaluated 6 months ago no longer exists as a company. The question is whether the new owner wants the same customers you are.
The alternatives
Solvimon
Solvimon is the one on this list that was built for the Sequence customer: a B2B company with a book of negotiated contracts, each one slightly different, several of them with a percentage of transaction value in the price. Seats, usage, credits, minimums, tiers and percentage fees run from one ledger. Invoices leave from as many entities as you have, in each country's e-invoicing format. Payments run through Adyen, Mollie, Stripe or GoCardless, or through Solvimon's own processing if you don't want to run a PSP relationship at all.
Accounting syncs to NetSuite, Xero and the rest. See more Solvimon integrations like Light, Campfire, etc.
It can read PDFs into schedules with AI the way Sequence did with Claude or ChatGPT, and Quotes are built in Solvimon, so the contract and the billing schedule are the same object from day one.
Published price: Growth from $2,500 a month, with quoting included (pricing). Yapily runs 200+ bespoke contracts on it with 98% of invoicing automated (case study).
The company is independent and profitable, and the team ran billing at €1T+ volume at Adyen.
Hyperline
Hyperline is a CPQ tool with billing attached: quotes and e-signature inside Salesforce, HubSpot and Attio, then invoices from the quote. It fits sales-led teams in France and the Benelux whose contracts are standard enough that the quote is the hard part.
It's weaker where Sequence customers are strong. Multi-entity sits on the top plan. Percentage pricing at volume runs into Hyperline's own pricing, which takes 0.7% of billed volume on Launch, on top of $299 a month. If your contracts bill a percentage of transaction value, you are paying a percentage to bill a percentage. There's no own payment processing, so you still need a PSP. And there's no AI contract intake to replace what Sequence had. Its MCP server does write, with more than 100 tools.
Hyperline is a good CPQ, but it is a different category from what Sequence sold.
Maxio
Maxio is billing, revenue recognition and SaaS metrics for B2B finance teams, and it is the obvious landing spot if your finance lead bought Sequence for the rev rec. It fits companies whose contracts are annual seat deals and whose priority is reporting. Weaker on percentage pricing and bespoke usage terms. Published price: $599 a month on Grow, up to $100K of monthly billings.
Alguna
Alguna is CPQ and billing in one product but it is a low-cost (and lower quality) product. It fits sales-led teams who want the quote builder included from the Growth plan and who collect through Stripe. Other processors are an Enterprise feature. Published price: Growth from $699 a month, for up to 50 contracts or $1M ARR (pricing).
Chargebee
Chargebee is subscription management with CPQ Lite. It fits companies whose contracts are closer to standard plans than they first appear. Bespoke terms push against the subscription model. Published price: $99 a month plus 0.65% on Flow, with the first 50 quotes free.
Zuora
Zuora is the enterprise suite for amendment-heavy contracts. It fits companies that have grown past mid-market tools. It costs far more to buy and implement, and it is itself private-equity owned, so the roadmap question applies here too. No list price, with a median near $170,000 a year in Vendr's data.
Salesforce Revenue Cloud
Salesforce Revenue Cloud covers quote-to-cash inside Salesforce. It fits teams with Salesforce admins and a CPQ-heavy sales process. Billing depth depends on configuration. Published price: $150 or $200 per user a month.
DealHub
DealHub is CPQ with deal rooms and approvals. It fits teams whose bottleneck is quoting speed and who'll pair it with a billing system. It doesn't replace billing. Price: custom (see Dealhub pricing).
How they compare

Sequence | QuickBooks and Intuit Enterprise Suite | $799/mo (standalone, for now) | Stripe, GoCardless | Read-only | Intuit (pending close) |
Solvimon | Negotiated contracts, any ledger, any PSP | From $2,500/mo, no volume fee | PSP-agnostic, plus own processing | Read and write | Independent, profitable |
Hyperline | CPQ in the CRM | $299/mo + 0.7% of volume | Stripe, Adyen, Mollie, GoCardless, Airwallex | Read and write | Independent, VC-backed |
Maxio | Finance-led B2B SaaS | $599/mo | Several gateways | Not published | Independent (Battery) |
Alguna | CPQ plus billing on Stripe | From $699/mo | Stripe by default | Not published | Independent |
Chargebee | Subscription lifecycle | $99/mo + 0.65% | 40+ gateways | Read today | Independent |
Zuora | Multi-product enterprise | Vendr median ~$170K/yr | 40+ gateways | Read and write | Silver Lake and GIC |
Salesforce Revenue Cloud | Salesforce-centred sales | $150 to $200 per user/mo | Via Salesforce | Not published | Salesforce |
DealHub | CPQ-first | Custom | None, CPQ only | Not published | Independent |
The owner column matters more than it did last week. Billing is a 5 to 7 year decision. Ask every vendor on this list who they expect to own them in 2030.
How to move off Sequence without breaking everything
Don't rip it out. The deal hasn't closed, and Intuit says it will support existing customers. What you should do this quarter:
Check your renewal date. If your Sequence contract renews in the next 6 months, don't sign for 2 years. Sign for 1, or month to month if they'll let you.
Consider an alternative to run a parallel invoice cycle with. Pick 10 customers, bill them from the new system in a sandbox, reconcile to the penny against Sequence. That's the whole evaluation.
Ask any new vendor the ownership question and make sure you protect yourself in case of a future sale.
At Solvimon, Ww've migrated contract books off Chargebee, Stripe Billing, Paid.ai, Maxio, and spreadsheets. Sequence will be a cleaner export than most, because the data model is contract-first similar to Solvimon.
