THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM
AI tools have compute costs that don't fit simple subscription models
THE FIX
Usage-based billing, overage charges, and tiered limits. Price to match your actual cost structure.
THE PROBLEM
Managing API keys for developer customers is a whole separate system
THE FIX
Automatic API key generation with tier metadata. Developers self-service their keys through the portal.
THE PROBLEM
You need to gate features or rate-limit based on subscription tier
THE FIX
API keys include tier information. Your API enforces limits based on what Revnu tells it about each key.
THE PROBLEM
Pricing AI products is confusing when costs vary per request
THE FIX
Track usage, set quotas, charge overages. Or use credit-based systems. Revnu supports the pricing model your economics require.
Bill by API calls, tokens, or compute time. Match revenue to your actual costs. Scale pricing with customer usage.
Automatic generation, tier metadata, and revocation. Your API reads the key; Revnu tells it what access to grant.
Free, starter, pro, enterprise — each with different quotas. Enforce limits based on subscription tier.
Developers manage their own keys, view usage, and upgrade plans. Less support burden for you.
Track revenue by tier, usage patterns, and customer growth. Understand your AI business economics.
Base subscription with included usage plus overage billing. Predictable revenue with usage upside.

PRO TIPS
50%+ gross margin on AI costs. Below that, more users means more losses. Know your unit economics.
Per-request costs need per-request pricing. Base subscription + overages. Credits. Tiered access. Match revenue to costs.
One customer's abuse destroys economics. Enforce limits by tier. Protect your margins.
API key management, usage dashboards, plan upgrades. Developers expect to help themselves. Less support, happier users.
FAQ
Track usage in your system (requests, tokens, compute time). Report to Stripe via Revnu for metered billing. Customers are charged based on actual consumption at the end of billing period.
Yes. API keys include tier metadata. Your API reads the tier and applies appropriate limits. Revnu handles the key management; you handle enforcement.
Common pattern: free tier with limited requests (100/day), paid tiers for production usage. Free keys have tier metadata indicating limits.
Options: hard cutoff (upgrade required), soft limit with overage billing, or throttling. Configure in Revnu; enforce in your API.
Yes. Common for AI tools: monthly subscription for regular users, one-time credit packs for occasional users. Both work through Revnu.
Enterprise typically wants: custom limits, SLAs, data privacy guarantees. Handle contracts directly; use Revnu's invoicing for billing.
Call Revnu's validation endpoint with the key. Get back: valid/invalid, tier, metadata. Cache results to minimize latency on hot paths.
