Lotus is an open-source pricing and billing engine for SaaS companies, supporting usage-based, per-seat, and enterprise plans. It provides a self-hosted control panel to deploy, monitor, and experiment with pricing models on top of existing quote-to-cash stacks.

Use cases

  • implement usage-based billing for a SaaS product
  • manage per-seat and enterprise subscription plans
  • experiment with pricing and packaging models
  • self-host a billing engine on top of existing payment stack
  • track and meter product usage for invoicing

When to choose

  • you need flexible custom subscriptions beyond what Stripe Billing offers
  • you want an open-source, self-hosted pricing engine
  • you need to iterate on pricing models without code changes

When to avoid

  • you only need simple flat-rate monthly billing
  • you want a fully managed hosted billing solution
  • your stack is not Python/TypeScript friendly
