The Billing Challenge
You’ve built something amazing. Your AI agents are solving real problems, customers are using them, and you’re ready to scale. But there’s a problem: traditional billing systems weren’t built for what you’re doing.What Traditional Systems Can’t Handle
- Systems like Stripe Billing or Zuora don’t understand tokens, or outcomes
- They’re built for simple subscriptions and straightforward usage patterns
- Your world is more complex
What You Actually Need
- Track LLM costs that vary by model and provider
- Attribute costs to specific agents and customers
- Price based on outcomes - charge for successful hires, qualified leads, or actual conversions, not just raw usage
- Understand which parts of your business are actually profitable
The Outcome-Based Pricing Challenge
Traditional billing systems force you to charge for usage (tokens, API calls, compute time). But your customers care about outcomes:- A successful hire, not the number of resumes reviewed
- A qualified lead, not the number of emails sent
- A completed transaction, not the number of API calls
The Cost of Flying Blind
Without proper cost attribution:- You can’t tell which agents make money
- You can’t identify which customers are profitable
- You don’t know how your margins change as you scale
- You end up building custom solutions that take months and cost a fortune
- Your team gets pulled away from building great AI products
