About

OpenMeter is a developer-focused usage metering and billing platform for AI and API products. It helps teams turn events, logs, and metrics into real-time usage data, enforce limits and quotas, and power self-service usage-based billing.

The platform is designed to support rapid pricing changes without hardcoding billing logic. It includes a flexible product catalog, integrations with SDKs and external systems, and tools for revenue insights that help teams identify expansion opportunities and manage customer usage more effectively.

This free tier appears to be a perpetual starter offer, but the page does not show any concrete quota, credit, or trial length to price it against a paid plan. Because there is no defensible monthly allowance to value, the practical monthly value can’t be estimated from the page alone. A credit card is not explicitly waived, so signup friction remains unclear.
