OpenMeter
The fastest way to ship usage-based billing, designed for developers and loved by product teams.
Overview
OpenMeter is a robust platform designed to simplify and accelerate the implementation of usage-based billing for modern software products. It provides the core infrastructure for collecting, processing, and aggregating usage data from various sources like events, logs, and metrics. This data is then used to power real-time metering, enforce usage limits, and automate the entire billing workflow. The platform is built with developers in mind, offering SDKs for popular programming languages and a comprehensive API for integration. It allows businesses to easily define and change pricing models, manage customer entitlements, and sync metering data with external payment gateways like Stripe. By providing granular control over usage tracking and billing, OpenMeter empowers product teams to create flexible pricing strategies and offers customers transparency into their consumption.
