USE CASES

Usage-Based Billing for SaaS and Applications

  • Implement custom pricing for any product or endpoint
  • Drop-in usage and billing dashboard components
  • Automate meter ingestion, processing, and invoice generation
Krishna Raj Raja
Founder and CEO,
SupportLogic
Nobody wants to pay for shelfware - we believe the market is moving towards value and adoption-based pricing. SupportLogic shifted to usage-based pricing from a traditional subscription model, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Our customers love the transparency and flexibility to pay only for what they use.

We considered building the infrastructure in-house but that would have set us back by 1 year. Amberflo’s feature-rich, developer-friendly platform was instrumental in accelerating our transition in record time.
