Love this!
Congrats on launch! its great how you wrapped metering + credits into a clean API.
I think PQL is: first usage event tracked → first entitlement check live → first shadow-bill run yeah?
If you ever add direct billing on top, I have few suggestions if you don't mind;
• Run 1 or 2 shadow cycles before going live so usage tracking matches what customers expect to see on invoices.
• Add a gentle in-app meter with early alerts, it could protect trust and make upgrades come naturally.
• Consider hybrid packaging (seat + usage) with a monthly minimum and volume breaks. Predictable for you, flexible for them.
Also, do teams use credits for internal cost tracking more or for end-customer pricing?
Autumn is a powerful tool that takes the headache out of billing for AI startups. By sitting on top of Stripe, it provides a specialized, developer-friendly layer that makes it easy to set up, manage, and adapt complex pricing strategies without significant engineering overhead. This allows startups to focus on their core product rather than on the intricacies of their billing system.
@AutumnI tried autumn a few months ago and it has made stripe integration a breeze. Thank you building this amazing tool.
@ay_ush Great! Finally someone solved this problem, it was bothering us for a long time. Thanks Ayush
Doubted this initially when you guys launched, but after testing it out I've since realised it's a lifesaver.
Not having to deal directly with Stripe for credit usage is elite.
Great stuff 🤝
