Iugu

Brazilian billing and payments platform for subscriptions, recurring charges, and marketplaces with REST API.

-
BR Est. 2012 Active Subscription Billing

Our Verdict

The default subscription and marketplace rail for Brazil; irrelevant if you don't sell in BRL.

Pros

  • Deep Brazilian payments coverage (boleto, Pix, cards)
  • Handles local tax and NF-e invoicing requirements
  • REST API suits marketplaces and subscription products
  • Split payments support for platform business models

Cons

  • Brazil-focused; weak outside Latin America
  • English documentation is incomplete in places
  • Occasional reliability incidents reported publicly
  • Fewer integrations than global competitors
Best for: Brazilian SaaS, marketplaces, and fintechs needing Pix, boleto, and NF-e compliance. Not for: Global-first SaaS or companies without significant Brazilian revenue exposure.

When to Use Iugu

Good fit if you need

  • Brazilian subscription billing and recurring charge with REST API
  • Marketplace split payment and subaccount management for Brazilian platforms
  • Boleto and PIX recurring billing for Brazilian subscription products
  • Automated invoicing and payment reconciliation for Brazilian SaaS
