24 alternatives to Stykite
Hey 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…

Kelviq▲530Hi 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…

Autumn▲719If you’re on tech twitter you may have noticed an increasing dissent with Stripe and it’s DX. t3.gg (Theo) summarizes it best: “IMO, the biggest issue with Stripe is the "split brain" it inherently introduces to your code base. When a customer checks out, the "state of the purchase" is in Stripe. You're then expected to track the purchase in your own database via webhooks. There are over 258 event types. It's far too easy to have a payment be failed in stripe and "subscribed" in your app.” We've built an OSS abstraction to build any pricing model 1 line of code. The idea is a layer over…

Sokosumi▲90I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

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’m Arash, one of the founders of Strada (https://www.getstrada.com), a cloud IDE for building automation workflows across your company’s SaaS apps. Strada handles integrations, triggers, infrastructure and observability while letting you write core workflow logic in Python (more languages soon). It's for teams that hit limitations with low-code tools while building with internal apps — eg. Zendesk, Jira, Salesforce, Slack. You can access our docs at (https://docs.getstrada.com). While working on our first product (a unified accounting API), we learned that as…

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:…

Hello HN Community, As an ex-founder of a developers-for-hire agency, I was fortunate to build for many different software organizations around the world, and partner with the most talented product teams. One of the things I learned by coding was how painful it is to build & maintain pricing in SaaS. The pricing structure and logic always end up being coupled with the core application code and the billing platform. The product catalog is typically managed in spreadsheets, by the product & monetization teams, while all the possible package types, including the legacy ones, are typically…

delegare▲70Hi guys, am building SecureLend.ai and when working on our underwriting agents (free trial, paid after) I had issues with seamless payment options. Of course I looked at x402 which I believe is a great protocol but not a fan of a) sharing private keys with the agent b) having a human in the loop or c) similar workaround e.g. pre-funded wallets So I started building out a solution. For my use case it was important to not only have stablecoins but also a fiat rail which is now implemented using Stripe. Initially I build a mandate system internally but am very glad and big shoutout to the guys…

Hey HN! After lots of dogfooding, we are now releasing Algora.io to help developers share bounties & easily meet new collaborators. The problem: early-stage founders always have more work than people, tight budgets and no time. Hiring full-time engineers is often not an option, yet most founders would welcome contributions from new collaborators. Meanwhile, most developers welcome flexible work. However, today, all of this is hard. Our solution: we built a Git GUI where you can pay developers and start collaborating with new ones, in just a few clicks. On Algora you can share, reward and…
