Lago

Lago is an open-source alternative to Stripe Billing and Chargebee, purpose-built for companies that need flexible, usage-based billing. It provides metering, invoicing, subscription management, and a powerful API to handle complex pricing models — all self-hosted on your own infrastructure.

Common Use Cases

It is also used by fintech and infrastructure companies that need granular metering and real-time billing data.
