## What it is
Autumn is an open-source billing and pricing platform that acts as a control layer between Stripe and your application, managing subscriptions, credit ledgers, usage metering, and feature entitlements. It lets teams define any pricing model as configuration and embed it with a few lines of code, handling webhooks, plan changes, and edge cases automatically.

## Use cases
- implement usage-based pricing for my SaaS
- add subscription billing without handling Stripe webhooks
- build a credit system with top-ups and rollovers
- manage feature entitlements and usage limits per plan
- sell custom enterprise contracts and grandfather old pricing
- self-host a billing platform on top of Stripe

## When to choose
- you use Stripe and want billing logic decoupled from application code
- you need usage metering, credit balances, and entitlement enforcement out of the box
- you iterate on pricing frequently and want changes as config, not migrations
- you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to closed billing platforms

## When to avoid
- you don't use Stripe or another supported billing source
- you need a simple one-off checkout with no recurring billing
- you can't run the additional services Autumn depends on when self-hosting
- you need fully custom billing logic outside the plan/credit/entitlement model
