A Slack-native alternative for payment visibility
Stream Stripe and payment events into Slack the moment they happen, and turn each one into a task or a follow-up your team can act on.
Viably and Chaser, side by side
Chaser is a dedicated accounts receivable and credit control platform, built to automate chasing unpaid invoices and to manage collections, largely over email, for finance teams. It goes deep on that specific job.
Viably comes at payments from the Slack side. It receives Stripe and generic payment webhooks, formats each event into a clean message, and posts it to the right channel in real time, and it can spawn a task for any event, so a payment that needs attention turns straight into tracked work.
How the two compare
| Capability | Viably | Chaser |
|---|---|---|
| Core purpose | Real-time payment and revenue visibility in Slack | Automated invoice chasing and collections |
| Where the team works | Inside Slack, next to the rest of the day's work | A dedicated finance platform, largely over email |
| Turning events into action | Any payment event can spawn a task or follow-up | Collections workflows and reminders to customers |
| Sources | Stripe and any provider that can send a webhook | Accounting and invoicing integrations |
| Breadth | Payments plus tasks, issues, reminders, recognition, AI chat | Accounts receivable automation |
| Pricing model | Free plan, then a flat Viably+ price per workspace | Finance software subscription |
An honest read on the fit
Viably fits teams that want everyone to see revenue and payment activity in Slack as it happens, and that want each notable event to become a task or a nudge inside the same modular app that runs their other work.
Chaser is the right tool when your priority is dedicated credit control, with automated invoice reminders sent to customers and a full collections workflow owned by a finance team.
