Usage-Based Billing
Also known as metered or pay-as-you-go billing. Charge customers only for what they use with flexible per-credit pricing.
Pay Only for What You Use
Configure a per-credit price on your plan, and we'll handle billing your customers for the number of credits they consume. No extra effort necessary on your part.
Perfect for APIs with variable usage patterns where a fixed subscription doesn't make sense.
Lower Barrier to Entry
No upfront costs means smaller customers can get started without a big commitment. Perfect for attracting new users.
Scale with Success
As your customers grow and use more of your API, your revenue grows proportionally. Align your success with theirs.
Pure Usage or Hybrid Models
Usage-based billing supports multiple models. Go pure pay-as-you-go with no base fee, or create a hybrid model that combines a base subscription with usage charges for consumption beyond included credits.
Hybrid models provide predictable base revenue while allowing customers to scale without hitting hard limits.
How usage-based billing works
Simple to set up, automatic to manage.
Set Your Price
Configure the per-credit price for your plan. Optionally add a base price and included credits for hybrid models.
Customers Use Your API
We automatically track credit consumption as customers make requests to your API. All usage is monitored in real-time.
We Handle Billing
At the end of each billing period, we automatically calculate charges and invoice customers. You get paid, hassle-free.
Why usage-based billing?
This pricing model is incredibly popular in the API economy because it aligns incentives perfectly.
Fair for Customers
Customers only pay for what they actually use. No waste, no overpaying for unused capacity.
Grows with Usage
Your revenue scales naturally as customers use more of your API. Their success becomes your success.
Faster Adoption
Lower risk and lower upfront cost means customers are more likely to try your API and get started quickly.
If you made it, you can sell it
