The automated billing platform for any pricing model: tiered plan, metrics with limits, usage-based, or recurring subscriptions. Set up your SaaS billing stack with zero effort and scale with developer-friendly billing API, all with no transaction fee forever.
Hello Wooooorld!
We are Matt and Daniel, cofounders of Paigo.
Thanks to Michael Seibel @mwseibel for hunting us in the Product Hunt community. We are so thrilled to share more about Paigo with you all!
Daniel and I have been working together and on SaaS billing for so long that we lost track of the years. In my old days, leading the platform engineering team at ClickUp and managing Database-as-a-Service at MarkLogic, where Daniel also lead the architecture and development, we had to consistently tackle billing challenges for up to $200M ARR. Not to mention Daniel even developed E-commerce billing based on transaction volume for a public company. We did our due diligence at times by testing out all the big or small billing platforms in the world. Unfortunately none of them solved the two core challenges many people have observed.
👀 Observation 1: Every company must develop internal billing features and business logic on top of 3rd party billing systems, because existing business systems are generic, not flexible, and unable to fit companys’ pricing perfectly.
👀 Observation 2: Every company must develop internal billing automations due to integrating with different toolings used by departments and evolving processes over time. Another related consequence is the necessity of hiring a team to solve lack of automation, including RevOps, Deal Desk or Biz Ops to manually own billing.
Therefore, we built Paigo to be a billing system for SaaS business with two key design principles: automation and flexibility.
🚂 Customizable to any pricing model
Customize Paigo for any pricing model, early or late stage, and various go-to-market motion.
🏖️ Automate every single thing in billing
Sit back and see Paigo makes billing operations happen continuously on a clock without human intervention.
📊 Usage data metering at scale
Meter product usage in real-time natively from every layer of SaaS stack, for usage-based billing.
🖥️ No-code SaaS billing stack
Set up billing onboarding, invoice portal, payment management, usage tracking and subscription management in 3 min without writing a single line of code.
📈 Billing, pricing and usage analytics
Query and visualize data with SQL. Use Paigo lambda to perform advanced analytics with any script you upload.
Last but not the least, Paigo is redefining the value of billing systems with groundbreaking pricing ourselves. We are the first and only billing platform with:
💗 Free Forever Plan

Hey we have some code examples inside our docs and actually in the application itself.
https://docs.paigo.tech/usage-me...
However we are currently working on a full SDK for the API. So it should be out soon.
The fraud detection mentioned by another commenter caught my eye. It feels like every day I see a tweet of a new founder getting 'credit card tested' and ends up paying hundreds in fees.
Would be neat if this could be an alternative/solution for SaaS folks? Congrats on your launch!
@esus Hey Esus, thanks for the insight! Honestly this scenario is quite new to me - credit card tested and paying hundreds in fees. I'd be curious to dig deeper into this!
@esus Thanks for bringing this up. In our payment integrations we do enable users to have stripe be their end payment provider, and while not perfect, there is an option inside of stripe for their fraud detection and radar rules to be setup which Paigo would run through before actually charging the end customer. Thereby giving an option for founders to have something in place to avoid the fees.

🤯🤯🤯 Thanks for sharing those links. Payments are really the wild west on the internet still. I remember reading this blog post a few weeks back, and if you haven't read it I would reccomend giving it a skim https://piotrmierzejewski.com/p/...
The author found some pretty interesting and indepth stuff regarding payment fraud, and credit card number generation.
@kshitij_mishra4 Hey Kshitij, thanks for bringing them up. Here is our status on these features:
- Multiple-currency support: Yes! we support USD and EURO. Currently adding a few asian currencies.
- Tax management: Yes! We support tax rate specified by SaaS business, or integration with TaxJar. You can read more in our doc: https://docs.paigo.tech/invoicin...
- Advanced reporting and analytics: YYYYeeesss!. We already have many analytics built-in! Additionally, we also support very advanced analytics so that you can actually write any code script to run analytics, just like a Lambda function. Lastly, you can visualize it.
- Fraud detection and prevention: If you mean revenue recovery, YES we do have that! Paigo automatically handles failed credit card charges, etc.
Quick question for you: is there any analytics you have in mind?
