24 alternatives to Kelviq
Hi HN, We've been building Kelviq for the last couple of months and it's finally ready to share. Kelviq is a Merchant of Record (MoR) and monetization platform that you can integrate without building a custom webhook-to-database syncing layer. Along with handling global taxes, checkout, and compliance, it acts as the real-time source of truth for your users feature access and usage credit balances. Why we built this: Through our other project, ParityDeals, we saw firsthand how much founders struggle with billing infrastructure. Integrating a payment gateway is easy, but actually building…

Stripe is often seen as the gold standard for international and cross-border payments. But in reality, many founders, especially those outside the US, have a different experience: Merchants are frequently offboarded without much explanation. Stripe isn’t available or fully supported in many countries. Even when available, setting up a legal entity, handling tax compliance, or managing FX fees can be a huge overhead. We built Dodo Payments to solve exactly this. (https://www.dodopayments.com) It’s a Merchant of Record (MoR) platform designed to help digital founders and indie…

It can create invoices and receive payments. Not quite production ready, yet. Only need PostgreSQL installed to try. I will add support to choose SQLite when they add native support for geography types.

Hey HN! Christine and Steven here. As a PM and engineer, we’ve both evaluated and purchased a lot of software. One of the biggest frustrations was figuring out how much it would cost us without having to go through the sales process. When we did have a quote, we had no idea if we were getting a good deal or ripped off. We built a site where you can see what other companies are actually paying for SaaS and enterprise software. Buyers contribute prices via quotes, pricing proposals, and other documentation to ensure quality. We unlocked Talkdesk for Show HN users so that you can use the…

TL;DR: We built Kanbanq, a minimal task management app for indies and small teams. It keeps Trello’s simplicity but adds proper backlogs, sprints, real-time collaboration and public board sharing. Free while in alpha, feedback welcome --- I’ve been working on Kanbanq with a friend. It’s a minimal task management app we built after getting frustrated with Trello. It was great for simple boards, but it falls apart when you need backlogs (that are more than just a giant list) or want to work in sprints. Kanbanq keeps the same clean feel but adds backlog management (our unique feature), sprints,…

Hi HN, we are Deepak and Sama, co-founders of BoxyHQ (https://boxyhq.com/). BoxyHQ provides an open-source platform for developers to quickly integrate enterprise features into their software solutions. These include SAML Single Sign-On (SSO), Audit logs, with more to come :) Every B2B startup faces a common challenge when it comes to selling into the Enterprise; they need to allocate time and resources to support all the requirements to make their offering enterprise-grade. Supporting these requirements is a significant undertaking for the engineering team, especially since…

Some technical context on what we ran into building this. MCP tools don't really work for financial data at scale. One tool call for five years of daily prices dumps tens of thousands of tokens into the context window. And data vendors pack dozens of tools into a single MCP server, schemas alone can eat 50k+ tokens before the agent does anything useful. So we auto-generate typed Python modules from the MCP schemas at workspace init and upload them into the sandbox. The agent just imports them like a normal library. Only a one-line summary per server stays in the prompt. We have around 80…

Credyt▲100Hey HN! I'm the founder of Credyt (https://credyt.ai). If you're running an AI product that burns $0.50+ per interaction, you need to bill customers as usage happens, not at the end of the month. Otherwise you're a bank for your customers, and you'll run out of money before they do. Why invoice-based billing doesn't work for AI: Most usage-based billing tools (Stripe Billing, Orb, etc.) were built for SaaS. They meter usage all month, then send an invoice. That works fine when your COGS is 5%. It's a disaster when you're paying your AI vendor upfront for every request and your…

Hi HN! I've been building ReadyKit, an open-source SaaS boilerplate that handles all the hard parts: multi-tenant workspaces, Stripe billing, OAuth + MFA authentication, and a production-ready stack. Built with Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Vue 3, it's designed for indie makers and teams who want to ship SaaS products fast. Clone, configure your OAuth and Stripe keys, and you're running in 5 minutes. Features include automatic query scoping for workspace isolation, audit logs, role-based access, and a modern UX kit. MIT licensed and free forever. GitHub:…

Stykite▲37Hey HN, We built Stykite, a billing and payments platform designed specifically for AI companies. It was a manifestation of a problem that I personally faced 6 years ago and even today, setting it up takes weeks/months and various API integration. Even when 99% on SaaS onboarding and billing experience is largely the same (fixed price, seat price or even usage-based). So we asked ourselves a question, can there be something that can let SaaS/AI businesses go live in 10 mins. We're not there yet, but hopefully on the path. Note: - Our documentaion is half broken. (WIP) - We did a UX…

Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. Last week, we open-sourced Enrolla (https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla) - feature management for SaaS companies. It makes it easy for developers to control how their product behaves for customers in different pricing tiers. So things like which features are enabled for whom, rate limits and seat limits, but also your customer secrets (with end-to-end encryption), and other configurations. After 15 years of working together at various companies, where we rebuilt the same SaaS foundation layer again and again - we wanted to create something…
