What it does
Lago is an open-source billing API for usage-based, subscription and hybrid pricing: it meters usage events, applies your plans and produces the invoices.
Who it suits
Engineering teams whose pricing depends on usage and who want to run the billing logic on their own servers, or at least on code they can read.
Price
The open-source version can be self-hosted. Lago Cloud and Lago Premium have no public price: the pricing page asks you to contact the team.
