I know this is a Sage group. However I think industry news from adjacent publishers provides some good insight to industry trends. On October 22, 2025 Acumatica announced they've just embedded BILL's AP automation directly into their platform.
According to their press release - this isn't just another integration; it's a native, "powered by BILL" solution. It's the same play NetSuite just announced on October 7, 2025.
By charging a per-transaction fee, publishers are basically guaranteeing that as customers get bigger, the recurring fee does as well. It's the same concept as a credit card processor, with less credit risk and better margins because customers aren't fighting over every tenth of a percent.
