Lago
Lago is an open-source metering and usage-based billing platform designed for engineers and product teams that need flexible, event-driven billing infrastructure. Lago ingests real-time consumption events, aggregates usage into billable metrics, manages subscription plans and pricing models (flat-rate, tiered, volume, pay-as-you-go, and hybrid), and automatically generates invoices. It supports prepaid credits, coupons, add-ons, payment orchestration, and revenue analytics—making it a comprehensive alternative to Stripe Billing, Chargebee, or Recurly for companies with complex pricing logic. Lago is available as a self-hosted deployment or as Lago Cloud.
