What they do
Problem
API-first companies struggle to implement and manage complex, custom usage-based pricing, metering, and billing without building and maintaining bespoke infrastructure.
Solution
Lotus provides an open-core pricing and billing engine that automates usage metering, pricing logic, invoicing, and pricing experiments via self-hosted and cloud offerings.
Who it's for
API companies and SaaS teams (developers and finance/ops) that need to run and iterate on usage-based billing.
