Metering.ai

Metering.ai (No-Code Usage-Based Billing) by Togai is a no-code metering tool that converts raw usage data into metered values and pushes them to Stripe for invoicing. It automates usage-based pricing workflows, reducing manual Excel work and billing disputes. The service integrates with major billing systems (Stripe, Chargebee, Zuora, Recurly) as a free add-on and emphasizes zero-code setup, data security, and quick time-to-value for SaaS and API-based products.

How Metering.ai Works

1. Upload usage data (CSV) and connect your Stripe account.
2. Define computations using familiar Excel-like formulas (over 391 functions supported).
3. Apply transformations, aggregations, and filters on usage data.
4. Push the computed metered values to Stripe for invoicing. You can download results or push directly to Stripe.

Key claim: No data is saved by Metering.ai; it works with your existing data and billing stack with zero engineering effort.

How to Use Metering.ai (3-click workflow)

1. Upload your raw usage CSV data.
2. Connect your Stripe (and optionally other billing accounts).
