Debt collection is a strategic challenge for businesses of all sizes. But the needs of a ten-person SME are worlds apart from those of a five-hundred-person group operating across multiple countries. That fundamental difference is precisely where Billabex and MyDSO Manager diverge: two high-performing solutions that target very different profiles.
MyDSO Manager is one of the most internationally recognized credit management platforms, with clients including Schneider Electric, Veolia and Rexel. Billabex, on the other hand, is an AI collection agent designed for SMEs that want to fully automate their payment reminders without complexity or dedicated resources.
In this article, we compare both solutions point by point — features, AI, integrations, pricing, ease of use — to help you identify which one fits your situation.

MyDSO Manager Overview
MyDSO Manager is a French B2B credit management and accounts receivable platform founded in Grenoble. The company achieved a remarkable journey: becoming an internationally recognized player in its sector without ever raising venture capital or building a sales team. Its growth relies entirely on product quality and word-of-mouth.
An end-to-end credit management platform
MyDSO Manager goes far beyond payment reminders. It is a comprehensive credit management platform covering the full client risk lifecycle: from solvency analysis before a sale, through dispute management, DSO reporting and performance tracking, all the way to collections escalation.
This holistic approach explains why the solution is favored by finance directors at large enterprises and mid-market companies that need precise visibility over their client risk.
Key features
- Real-time DSO reporting: advanced dashboards on DSO, aging balance, risk profiles and disputes. Data is filterable by entity, collector, client group or any custom business criterion.
- Configurable reminder automation: parameterizable collection scenarios with AI assistance, interactive emails and automatic reminders.
- Solvency analysis: integration of financial data from information providers to assess client creditworthiness and manage risk proactively.
- Multi-entity and multi-currency management: consolidated receivables management across multiple legal entities and currencies — ideal for corporate groups.
- MAIA, MyDSO Manager’s AI: an AI layer that assists credit managers in prioritizing actions and analyzing complex situations.
- Robust API: flexible data import/export for integration with any ERP or accounting system.
- Interactive emails: clients can respond directly from the reminder email, flag a dispute or confirm a payment, centralizing all exchanges.
Who MyDSO Manager serves
MyDSO Manager has clients ranging from large enterprises like Schneider Electric, Veolia, Rexel and Sames to SMEs and micro-businesses. However, the solution shows its full potential on the mid-market and large enterprise segment, thanks to its advanced reporting, multi-entity management and risk analysis capabilities.
Integrations
MyDSO Manager offers a robust API with multiple import/export options for integration with most ERP and accounting systems. Several native connectors exist for major tools, and flat file imports (CSV, Excel) allow connecting less standard systems.
Pricing
MyDSO Manager uses a transparent, progressive pricing model:
- Entry offer: from €49/month for 3 users (small structures)
- Mid-range offer: around €150/month for larger teams
- Advanced plans: several hundred to several thousand euros per month for groups and large structures with many users and advanced features
Transparent published pricing is a notable competitive advantage in a market where many competitors only provide quotes on request.
Billabex Overview
Billabex is an AI debt collection agent designed for French SMEs that want to recover their unpaid invoices without spending time or resources on it. Where MyDSO Manager provides a rich platform that your teams operate, Billabex provides an AI that operates for you.
The AI agent: a fundamentally different approach
Billabex’s principle is to replace manual reminder work with an AI that acts autonomously. The AI analyzes each receivable — amount, age, debtor’s past behavior, nature of the commercial relationship — and writes personalized, context-aware messages without any human intervention.
No scenarios to configure, no workflows to set up, no templates to write: the AI understands the situation and acts.
Key features
- Autonomous AI reminders: email, SMS, formal demand letters. The agent manages the entire reminder cycle without your involvement.
- Automatic contextual personalization: each message is written by the AI based on the debtor’s profile, overdue duration and relationship history. No generic templates.
- Automatic escalation: if soft reminders go unanswered, the agent progressively increases pressure.
- Intuitive dashboard: clear view of your receivables, ongoing actions and payments received.
- Onboarding in under an hour: connect your invoices, set a few preferences and you’re live.
- Native connectors: Pennylane, Sage, Sellsy and open API.
Who Billabex targets
Billabex is the go-to solution for SMEs, freelancers, consultants and accounting firms without a dedicated credit team. The goal is simple: fully automate collections so you never have to think about it.
Pricing
Billabex starts at €49/month, with all AI features included. Plans scale with invoice volume. No hidden fees, no training required.
Detailed Comparison
Reminder automation
MyDSO Manager effectively automates reminders through configurable scenarios. MAIA’s AI assists credit managers in decision-making, but a human always supervises and validates the process. It is AI-assisted automation, not fully autonomous automation.
Billabex delivers fully autonomous automation. The AI agent decides, writes and sends without human validation. For an SME without resources to dedicate to collections, this is a decisive advantage.
Artificial intelligence
MyDSO Manager introduced MAIA, an AI that helps credit managers prioritize cases and analyze complex situations. The AI is a decision-support tool, not an autonomous actor.
Billabex is AI-native: generative AI is the central engine. It writes, personalizes and adapts every communication autonomously, without human intervention. Two fundamentally different approaches to AI — assistance vs. autonomy.
DSO reporting and management
MyDSO Manager is unquestionably superior here. Its DSO dashboards, aging balance analyses, multi-entity reports and risk indicators make it one of the most comprehensive reporting solutions on the market. For a finance director managing a complex portfolio, this is a major asset.
Billabex offers simplified reporting focused on action: receivables status, reminders sent, payments received. This is sufficient for an SME that wants to know where its unpaid invoices stand, but insufficient for a credit team that needs deep risk analysis.
Multi-entity and multi-currency management
MyDSO Manager excels in multi-entity environments. Groups can manage multiple subsidiaries within a single platform, with consolidated views and per-entity reports. Multi-currency management is native.
Billabex is designed for single-entity structures or for accounting firms managing distinct client portfolios. No group-level multi-entity management.
Client risk analysis
MyDSO Manager integrates solvency data from financial information providers. The platform enables client risk assessment before extending commercial credit, with credit limit management and risk alert capabilities.
Billabex does not include an upstream risk analysis module. The solution is focused on collection once invoices are issued.
Ease of use
Billabex is operational in under an hour. No training required, no workflows to configure. The AI learns from your portfolio and adapts automatically.
MyDSO Manager is designed to be implemented in a few days without heavy IT resources. However, the platform’s feature depth requires an appropriation period, especially for teams new to structured credit management tooling.
Pricing
| Solution | Entry price | Team use |
|---|---|---|
| Billabex | €49/month | €49–€199/month |
| MyDSO Manager (small) | €49/month (3 users) | €150+/month |
| MyDSO Manager (group) | Several hundred €/month | Up to several thousand €/month |
At comparable feature sets for an SME, entry prices are similar. But SME needs without a dedicated credit team are better served by Billabex, which delivers autonomous AI from the first euro paid.
