Billing platform to launch, test, + scale business models

Meteroid is a monetization platform built so early-stage teams can ship like they're already at scale: ✅ One engine for subscriptions, usage-based pricing, quote-to-cash, invoicing and business intelligence ✅ Support any Go-to-Market motion ✅ Open-source (not open core) and extendable. Self-host it or let us run it. Either way, it’s yours. 🚀
Congrats on the launch guys! Really useful one, especially for small teams like my stage now. Best of luck!

Hey all! I’m Teake, co-founder at Meteroid 👋
I’m on the product/design side, and I’ve spent way too much time dealing with billing systems that were built for one very specific case and then left untouched. They work fine as long as nothing changes. But the moment you want to tweak pricing or try something new, the whole thing becomes fragile overnight.
We built Meteroid because billing shouldn’t be a black box. It should be flexible by default, so teams can experiment and iterate without breaking things.
Happy to chat product & design!

@curiouskitty thanks for your question.
We offer different plans with varying levels of service (community support, email support, dedicated account manager, SLA to handle the "2am call"...) depending on users' needs.
Regarding our roadmap, we fully support Sponsored Developments. You can fast-track critical integrations or features by sponsoring them. This ensures you get exactly what you need on your timeline while contributing back to the open-source ecosystem.

Nice! Are you planning on supporting subscription schedules as well? Side-note, this page in your docs is 404ing: https://docs.meteroid.com/subscriptions/what-is-a-subscription
Meteroid
@jared_scheel Hey Jared ! Subscription phases is not there yet but it's definitely on the roadmap. If you have a specific use case for schedules let us know, we prioritize based on the community feedback !
Thanks for the report, we'll look into it !
Meteroid
Thanks@jared_scheel! We currently support controlling the timing and lifecycle of subscriptions. Full-on phasing isn’t live yet, but is indeed definitely on the roadmap.
Meteroid
@jared_scheel what do you mean by subscription schedules? We already support creating subscriptions in the past/future, is that what you meant?
Happy to further discuss the topic 😉

@ddu schedules are definitely a complex case, but they are useful for managing phased trials, controlled upgrade / downgrade flows, contractual plans, etc.
Meteroid
@jared_scheel thanks for the clarification. Indeed not yet there but definitely something we can do. What’s your specific timing? If you have a deadline in mind for when you'd need this shipped, we can see how to make it happen.
Open source billing infrastructure is crucial for SaaS builders who want transparency into their revenue ops. Really appreciate that this is on GitHub - being able to fork and customize pricing logic is a real advantage over closed billing platforms. What's the migration path like for teams already on Stripe Billing?
Meteroid
@kxbnb thanks for your comment. We truly believe as well that an open source billing platform really brings transparency into the revenue stack. And of course, you're free to inspect & extend it if required!
The path is actually quite straightforward:
Set up your invoicing entities and payment info (we support a native integration with Stripe Payment for example)
import your customers into Meteroid (can be done via API or a file)
create your plans (an billable metrics if you need usage based billing) and create your subscriptions (can be done via API)
And basically that's all! ;)
If required, you can find more details here
Always happy to discuss if you face any issue :)
Congratulations on the launch! How about processing cards from other countries? For example, in the Netherlands my US card is often not accepted.
Meteroid
@mykyta_semenov_ Hey, thanks ! We use payment providers (we started with Stripe but will be adding more), this is quite provider-dependent. We already let you set your provider per invoicing entity, and we'll add that option at the customer level for simple routing on your side. (We could add some provider per country routing logic on our side as well if there's demand)
How easy is it to migrate from an existing Stripe-based setup to Meteroid without breaking current subscriptions or usage logic?
Meteroid
@why_tahircurrently, you'll need to recreate your subscriptions & usage logic in Meteroid. you can find more details here.
Nevertheless we are working towards providing a more detailed guide to ease migration from Stripe. Would that be helpful for you?
