Lago is an open-source metering and usage-based billing platform that ingests usage events, manages subscriptions and pricing, and generates invoices, payments, and revenue analytics. It exposes a JSON HTTP API with client SDKs, a no-code UI, and can be self-hosted via Docker or used as a cloud service.
Use cases
- meter API calls and bill customers by usage
- implement usage-based or hybrid subscription pricing for an AI product
- track token and compute consumption and turn it into invoices
- manage prepaid credits and entitlements for SaaS plans
- self-host a billing system instead of using Stripe Billing
- integrate billing with Stripe, NetSuite, Salesforce, or a data warehouse
- iterate on pricing models without engineering work
When to choose
- you need usage-based, credit-based, or hybrid subscription billing with full control
- you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to proprietary billing vendors
- you bill AI workloads (tokens, compute, API calls) at high event volume
- you need payment-agnostic orchestration and integrations with ERPs, CRMs, and tax tools
When to avoid
- you only need simple fixed-price invoicing with no usage component
- you cannot comply with the AGPL-3.0 license in your product
- you want a fully managed billing service and prefer not to operate infrastructure
- you need a lightweight billing library embedded in your app rather than a standalone platform
