## What it is
Flowglad is an open-source payments and billing SDK for SaaS applications, built around a 'zero webhooks' stateless model where customer billing state, feature access, and usage credits are read directly from the provider. It ships full-stack TypeScript packages for Next.js, React, Express, and other Node servers, with a React useBilling() hook and a server-side client.

## Use cases
- add subscription billing to a Next.js app
- accept payments without managing webhooks
- meter usage-based pricing credits
- check feature access from billing state
- manage pricing models from the CLI
- integrate payments with better-auth user ids

## When to choose
- you're building a TypeScript/React or Next.js SaaS and want subscriptions and usage billing with minimal glue code
- you want to avoid webhook infrastructure and subscription database tables
- you need to iterate on pricing models without redeploying your app

## When to avoid
- you need a language or stack outside the TypeScript/Node ecosystem
- you require fully self-hosted payment processing rather than a hosted billing provider
- you need a general-purpose payment gateway for one-off checkout flows unrelated to subscriptions
