Lago

Cloud billing for usage, subscriptions and hybrid pricing

About Lago

Lago is a billing platform for products that charge by usage, subscription, prepaid credits or hybrid combinations of the three. It meters events such as AI tokens, attributes usage to each customer, applies commercial terms, and produces invoices connected to existing payment, accounting and CRM systems. Teams can use the hosted Lago Cloud or self-host the free open source edition under AGPL, while the Premium edition adds quoted enterprise pricing and support.
