What MeterFlow, Autumn and Stripe Billing cost as your monthly billing volume grows, and what each one does — from their own pricing pages, with the day we read them.
The monthly platform fee at four levels of monthly billing volume — what your customers pay you. MeterFlow’s price follows your event volume instead, so it does not move with this table.
| Monthly billing volume | $5,000 | $8,000 | $10,000 | $20,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MeterFlow Flow | $29 | $29 | $29 | $29 |
| Autumn | $0 | $0 | $375 | $375 |
| Stripe Billing | $35 | $56 | $70 | $140 |

Your bill follows how many usage events you send, not what your customers pay you: doubling your revenue does not double our fee.
MeterFlow never moves money. Your provider charges your customers; MeterFlow meters their usage, keeps their credits and answers whether they may go on. Paddle, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Chargebee and Razorpay connect from the dashboard; anything else talks to the API.
An mf_test_ key reads and writes test data, an mf_live_ key live data — one project, two worlds that never mix, on every plan including the free one.
