Stigg is a real entitlements product. It is not an invoicing engine like Orb or Lago. We are not going to pretend otherwise. The difference is who it is for and how you start.

| Default stack | Any | Next.js + @usagegate/sdk |

When Stigg is the better fit
You are not on Next.js, you need a full packaging catalog for sales, or you already run Stigg. Stay there.
When UsageGate is the better fit
You are scaffolding a Next.js SaaS this week. You want Clerk or Supabase, Resend, and a gateway you already have. You want three plans enforced without a sales call. Create a free account, then Get started.
