What Meteroid is
Meteroid is a monetization platform for SaaS, infrastructure, and AI companies. It brings subscriptions, usage-based pricing, quotes, invoicing, and business intelligence into one system. Its billing options include flat subscriptions with usage overages, tiered and volume pricing, multidimensional pricing, capacity commitments, and packages. Teams can manage subscriptions, quotes and CPQ, invoices and credit notes, checkout, entitlements, webhooks, and APIs. Customers can use an embedded self-service portal to check usage, manage subscriptions, update billing details, and access invoices. The platform supports EU VAT or customer-specific tax rules, along with dunning automation and multi-currency billing. Meteroid says its usage system processes events in real time and uses idempotent requests to count each event once. It offers an AGPL v3 open-source version that can be self-hosted with Docker Compose or Helm Charts. Pay as you go charges 0.5% of managed revenue with no minimum or monthly fee and includes up to 3 million events per month. Volume plans cost €219 a month, billed monthly. Enterprise pricing is available by contacting Meteroid.
