Questions

What do I get?

Usage metering for Stripe. You define meters, record usage events, and a daily job writes invoice items or metered lines. Stripe still invoices and collects. Self-serve: Starter $0, Pro $49, Scale $149.

Who bills my customers?

Stripe bills; we meter. UsageMill writes the invoice line. Stripe invoices and collects. We are not the merchant of record.

What do plans cost?

Will you double-count my events?

Is this a Metronome, Orb, or Lago replacement?
