The independent metering and rating engine for usage-based pricing. Per-event pricing, an Apache-2.0 open core, and credit primitives built for the AI era — the calculation layer that never touches your funds.
See pricingRead the docsPre-launch — the v1 open core is built and tested; the hosted API opens at launch.
Built for developers who want the job done right — and to see exactly how it was done.
On $1M/month billed with 10M events, a 0.8%-of-volume competitor tier costs ~$8,400/month for the metering layer alone. Abacus Growth is $49 flat — same workload, ~171× cheaper.
Real-time credit burndown with hard stops — the API key dies the moment credits hit zero — plus prepaid wallets and overage policy hooks. Built for the agent era, where machines consume the meter.
Copyleft-free licensing that enterprise legal teams can actually approve. Commercial moat lives in hosted features, not the license.
Equally good on Stripe, Adyen, or crypto rails. Abacus stays the calculation layer — no money-transmitter risk, no competing with your payment rail.
Monthly billing, cancel anytime. No per-seat games, no surprise bills.
The funnel: real metering, free, with a hard cap.
For SaaS and AI companies billing real usage.
For high-volume and enterprise metering.
