FAQ
Questions we actually get.
Stripe bills; we meter. Short answers for indie B2B — the legal pages hold the contract language.
What do I get?
Usage metering for Stripe. You define meters, record usage events, and a daily job writes invoice items or metered lines. Stripe still invoices and collects. Self-serve: Starter $0, Pro $49, Scale $149.
Who bills my customers?
Stripe bills; we meter. UsageMill writes the invoice line. Stripe invoices and collects. We are not the merchant of record.
What do plans cost?
Starter $0 · Pro $49 / month · Scale $149 / month. Caps: Starter 10,000 events / 2 meters · Pro 500,000 / 20 · Scale 5,000,000 / 100. Scale is the highest self-serve tier. Published numbers — no sales call. Hit the monthly ceiling and the API says so.
Will you double-count my events?
No. The same key on the same account returns the original event. See the docs for Idempotency-Key if you want the header and body field names.
Is this a Metronome, Orb, or Lago replacement?
No. Scale is the highest self-serve tier (5,000,000 events / 100 meters). Metronome- and Orb-class platforms are sales-led — commits, SQL rate cards, true-ups. When you walk off the UsageMill cliff, buy that catalog or stay in your own code. We do not pretend to be that product.
Do I need a sales call?
No. Start free on Starter, pick a plan, record usage. Email support — not a CSM.
Can I use this for consumer apps?
No. B2B only — business usage events. See the Acceptable Use Policy.
