Invoice-basedOpen SourcePricing SimulationMulti-PSP Last verified: April 2026 * * * ## Good fit if... - →Startups and growth-stage teams adopting usage-based or credit-based pricing who need transparent, predictable flat-fee pricing - →Teams that want open-source code transparency and the option to self-host without vendor lock-in - →Product and growth teams that need to run pricing experiments without engineering changes for each update - →AI and SaaS companies in the US or India market that want multi-PSP support including Razorpay and Stripe - →Companies needing wallet credit infrastructure and a no-code pricing console without enterprise contract complexity * * * ## Pricing Model Flat monthly fee by event volume tier; no revenue percentage Free tier Yes Starting price $500/month (Starter, billed monthly; $400/month billed annually) Revenue % None Per customer None Per event None (event volume included in tier) Seat fees None Transparency Full ### Canonical scenario — 100 customers, $2K MRR, 100K events, 5 seats Line item Cost Platform fee $500 (Starter tier, billed monthly; $400/month billed annually) Per customer $0 Seat fees $0 Event fees $0 Revenue % $0 Payment processing Pass-through Total / month $500 (Starter); $1,000 (Premium, if advanced credit features required) The canonical scenario (100K events/month) fits within both the Starter and Premium event limits (10M and 25M respectively). The Starter tier ($500/month) covers core billing, usage metering, wallets, and customer portal. Flexprice does not publicly confirm whether real-time prepaid credit balance, recurring wallet top-ups, and entitlement management require the Premium tier ($1,000/month); if so, effective comparison cost is $1,000/month. Annual billing reduces these by 20%. Payment processing fees are charged by the connected PSP at pass-through rates. The open-source self-hosted version is excluded as it does not include wallet and credit features needed for a like-for-like comparison. * * * ## Technical profile Dimension Value Billing model Hybrid Usage authorization Post-usage No pre-authorization gate is documented. Balance monitoring uses low-balance alerts rather than per-event wallet authorization before work runs. Usage tracking Real-time metering + periodic invoice Wallet architecture First-class primitive Wallets are documented as core infrastructure with a full lifecycle: create, top-up, auto-recharge, debit, and low-balance alerts. However, automatic usage-based debit from usage events is invoice-driven (debited via INVOICE\_PAYMENT transaction), not triggered on individual event ingestion. Manual API debit is synchronous and immediate. Multi-asset support USD-with-labels Payment processing Integrated Requires a PSP account setup. Supported PSPs: Stripe, Razorpay, Paddle, and Chargebee. Not fully open to arbitrary PSPs. PSP agnostic Partial Customer portal Drop-in Pre-built portal URL, embeddable via iframe and generated via an API token. The portal is read-only for customers — they can view balances, invoices, and usage analytics but cannot initiate payments or self-service top-ups. Auto top-up Platform-configured Merchants set the top-up threshold and amount; end customers have no self-service threshold control in the documented feature set. Integration model Replaces stack Profitability analytics Aggregate Open source Partial The AGPLv3 core covers metering, invoicing, and credit systems. Advanced features (real-time prepaid credit balance, recurring wallet top-ups, entitlement management, revenue analytics) are available on paid cloud tiers.
