Usage Metering, AI & API Monetization
OpenMeter's mission is to standardize metering with the goal of becoming the data source for AI and API monetization. We've built an open-source platform that processes billions of events into our usage lake in a matter of seconds, which acts as the backbone that serves revenue and efficiency teams.
OpenMeter provides open source and managed cloud solutions for billing and usage metering, specifically targeting AI and DevTool companies. It enables real-time metering, usage-based pricing, and invoicing integration to monetize API and AI tool usage. The product emphasizes self-service, fast deployment, and developer-focused SDKs.
OpenMeter offers real-time usage metering that converts events, logs, and metrics into revenue. It supports usage gating and quotas, with low-latency enforcement and edge capabilities. The product includes a flexible product catalog for pricing and packaging, SDKs for languages like Node.js, Python, and Go, and integrations with CRMs, tax, and payment providers. It can be deployed as open source or as a managed cloud service, with comprehensive documentation, collectors for various stacks, and a code-based API for ingesting and querying usage data. It emphasizes per-millisecond billing, per-customer usage dashboards, and seamless invoicing via Stripe.
Who it’s for: AI/ML platforms, API-first dev tool companies, and SaaS providers that bill by usage and require real-time metering and flexible pricing.
Customers: Trigger.dev, Requestly, Lever.co, Google Cloud
