Autumn - Stripe made easy for AI startups
by•
Autumn helps AI startups price, meter, and control usage with just 3 API calls. Built on Stripe, it manages subscriptions, usage, and access in one place. No webhooks or backend logic needed. Ideal for early stage teams building LLM and image apps.

Awesome idea and this looks like a really nice implementation. Having built all this ourselves, I 100% agree on how much friction the hard way adds to pricing experiments. Congrats on the launch!

@paulantwilliams thank you Paul! If you’re ever feeling the pain it’s about 36 hours to migrate to us and we’re always happy to welcome you :)

We just spent a couple of weeks setting up stripe subscriptions. I didn't realise I needed a PhD in Faff Management and Webhooks to get it done.. looking forward to this getting more traction! super needed
Autumn
@joe_hewett thank Joe! Super happy you like the look of it. Stripe is the one part of the SaaS stack that has remained pretty low-level for over a decade, and this is a higher level of abstraction which should make things easier :)
@german_merlo1 that's the goal! stripe is def still the gold standard for APIs but with all the new pricing models coming out these days along with the need for an easy way to iterate on pricing, turns out there's a lot to be built on top of Stripe so we hope we can make that whole bit dead simple for builders :)
Autumn
@german_merlo1 launching faster for sure! We also have bigger startups that switch over from existing setups because autumn is easier to maintain as you grow too

I'm a bit confused about the product. How do I combine my user to a plan without a webhook?
Autumn
@malithmcrdev we combine it for you, and whenever you need billing data, you query Autumn’s API (instead of your own DB). Most of our users don’t need webhooks; only ones that do are if they’re hooking into an onboarding email or something.

Congrats on the launch guys!
Setting up stripe for AI products is a pain in the ass, we've just gone through that.
Wish I knew your product a few days earlier - we'll switch when we roll out our next pricing update!
Autumn
@juliangoetze YES 🚀 one of the products I’m most excited about. Looking forward to working with you

Autumn

LOVE THIS SO MUCH

@sebastiancrossa YO THANK YOU SEB
Feels cool. It's like Stripe mixed with feature flags, but for AI tools. The “3 API calls” idea stands out to help small teams ship faster without getting stuck figuring out complex billing systems.
Autumn
@chen951381 Yep you got it exactly. It’s a higher level of abstraction and mainly catered to early stage companies (for now)
