It's basically an automated recurring billing service that you can use whether you run a static monthly subscription service ($9/mo per user), or if you are using a metered approach, such as $0.02 cents per SMS, and then do that on a recurring basis.
So if you think about the 3 or so standard business models for SaaS, per user, per usage, or per tier (standard, pro, advanced) - this provides for all of that in an automated fashion.
Right, Subscriptions only has, IIRC, per-tier type of pricing. I need per-usage for my product, and was doing manual Stripe payments. But that meant if I wanted to change the pricing I would need to keep track of what customer was at what price point on my end. I'm interested to see if Billing is flexible enough to handle my use-case.
