From the sources

Schematic is a modern monetization platform. Drive revenue with usage based billing, support sales and product lead deals, and save time with drop in components like customer portals, checkout flows, and paywalls.

Schematic is a billing platform that provides entitlement management, metering, pricing, packaging, and billing UI in one place, built for product developers and commercial teams.

Schematic meters usage, bills it, and enforces limits inside your product at runtime. We were able to implement right away, see how our credit based plans would drive revenue and protect margin, and iterate quickly after launch. The future of AI monetization will not be hard-coded pricing and siloed invoicing and accounting systems. It will be usage governance and invoicing designed for customer trust, developer experience, and commercial agility. Custom plans for sales-led deals, self-serve tiers for everyone else, and packaging changes that ship without a deploy. Your app never needs to know the billing state of a customer. One call returns allow or deny, and the entitlement…from schematichq.com

    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…

    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…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
