Usage-based billing software supports charging customers according to measured consumption or other usage-based models. The entries are ranked and compared on API metering, event ingestion, billing model, and rating methods, with invoice generation and prepaid credits also among the criteria. Free plans and paid starting prices offer additional ways to compare options. Aforo and Cheddar are among the first entries, followed by Credyt and Flexprice. Consider how usage data reaches the billing process, which methods you need to rate that activity, and whether prepaid credits are part of your billing approach. Invoice generation and the listed plan details can help frame the remaining comparisons.
27 usage-based billing software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
