Five honest pages. We are not a payment processor or an invoicing engine. Your payment gateway charges the card; UsageGate enforces every request against the plan.
Comparisons
- 8 ways to add plans, usage limits and credits — UsageGate, Autumn, Clerk Billing, Polar, Stripe Entitlements, Stigg, Schematic, or building it yourself.
- UsageGate vs Stripe Billing meters — Stripe invoices usage. UsageGate blocks the request. We do not replace Stripe.
- UsageGate vs Stripe Entitlements — Stripe Entitlements are catalog flags. UsageGate consumes credits on the request. We do not replace Stripe.
- UsageGate vs a Redis ledger — The DIY most Next.js founders write next. Atomic counters are the easy part.
- UsageGate vs Stigg — Same layer, different seat. Stigg is sales-led entitlements. We are Next.js and a free account.
How to choose
- Keep Stripe (or Paystack / Paddle) for checkout and invoices.
- Use UsageGate for
canAccess/consumeon the request path. - Do not invent a Redis ledger or Stripe Billing meters for enforcement.
