Usage billing with the same rigor as subscription revenue

AI, infrastructure, and usage-priced products generate events faster than billing can invoice them. Metering lives in product logs, entitlements sit in a spreadsheet, and finance reconstructs revenue after the period closes.

What we cover

Usage metering Consumption billing Usage entitlements Hybrid subscription + usage Cost controls Finance reporting

Design the metering and rating model

Product, finance, and engineering need one definition of what is metered, how it is rated, and how it lands on the invoice next to subscription lines.

  • What to meter: tokens, compute, seats, API calls, and product-specific units
  • Rating rules for tiers, commitments, overages, and prepaid balances
  • A model that sits beside ratable subscription revenue, not in a parallel process

Implement metering through invoice

We wire event collection, aggregation, entitlements, and billing so consumption can be invoiced without pausing core delivery.

  • Metering pipelines that product can emit into and finance can trust
  • Usage entitlements and cost controls tied to the contract
  • Billing that invoices consumption alongside subscription lines on the same account

Give finance a source of truth

Usage revenue only works when reporting, recognition, and customer-facing invoices tell the same story.

  • Period-close reporting finance can use without reconstructing usage by hand
  • Customer-facing usage statements that match the invoice
  • Runbooks so engineering can ship new meters without breaking billing

Put usage billing in the monetization stack

Tell us what you meter today and where consumption breaks on the way to the invoice. We will propose a roadmap and an extension of your team to put metering, entitlements, and usage billing in place.
