Background
QuotaStack is a credit-native usage-based billing API for indie and solo developers and small AI/SaaS teams. It puts credits, reservations (hold / commit / release + TTL), metering, and entitlements behind one API. Keep Stripe (or Dodo, or any PSP) for payments — QuotaStack is not a payment processor and does not take a revenue cut.
Core features
- Credits — millicredit-precise balances stored as credit blocks on an append-only ledger
- Reservations — hold / commit / release with a TTL, for long-running jobs whose final cost is not known up front
- Metering — usage events that debit credits
- Entitlements — a
can()check on the request path - Keep Stripe (or Dodo, or any PSP) for payments. QuotaStack is not a payment processor and does not take a revenue cut.
Closest peers, honestly:
- Credyt = wallet + authorize-and-debit + hosted portal + per-active-wallet fee
- QuotaStack = reservations + credit-block ledger + $0 per customer, $2/100k after the free 100k
- Stripe meters invoice; they do not reserve, expire a pack, or gate the request
Ideal for
- AI apps that need a credit wallet, reservations on long jobs, and a
can()check in the request path - Indie and solo developers, and small AI/SaaS teams
Not for:
- Enterprises that want Orb or Metronome
- Teams that want to self-host Lago
