Q4 Release Round-up: Agile and purpose-built subscription tech
Over the last quarter, we shipped a wide range of product updates designed to help subscription businesses grow revenue, scale globally, and move faster with more control. These releases are about momentum: giving teams more ways to test, adapt, and build on what works as they plan for Q1.
Below is a full look at what launched in Q4, organized around three outcomes our customers care about most: growing smarter, scaling confidently, and moving faster without friction.
