Meteroid

What Meteroid does

Meteroid gives software companies tools for subscriptions, usage-based billing, quotes, checkout and invoicing. Its stated audience is SaaS, infrastructure and AI businesses.

Teams can meter usage, set plans and trials, manage upgrades and downgrades, and provide customers with a portal for usage, subscriptions, payment details and invoices.

Fees and plans

Teams may test Meteroid in the free sandbox, with charges starting when they go live. The Pay as you go listing shows $0.50 a month based on managed revenue, no minimums and no monthly fee. It includes 3 million events a month; additional events cost €20 per million. The stated $0.50 charge and “no monthly fee” wording do not explain the billing calculation further.

Volume plans cost €219 a month, billed monthly. They cover up to €50k in managed revenue per month, with a 0.5% overage on revenue above that limit and 3 million events a month included.

Enterprise is price on request. Its listed package includes tailored solutions, self-hosting, advanced integrations, onboarding and dedicated support, dedicated metering capacity, and an SLA. MFA, SSO, domains, role-based access control, and security and audit logs are also listed for Enterprise. Payment, accounting and CRM integrations are included across the three plans.

Where it runs

The service can be used through a browser or API, and Meteroid says its AGPL v3 open-source version supports deployment with Docker Compose and Helm Charts. Self-hosting appears among the Enterprise features.

Customers can use a self-service portal that can be embedded in a product.

Protection, as published

Meteroid says it adheres to GDPR and other EU regulations and encrypts data in transit and at rest. It also says keys receive additional application-level encryption.

The Enterprise Security module lists MFA, single sign-on, domains, role-based access control, and security and audit logs.

Strengths

Recurring subscriptions can be paired with usage charges through tiers, volume discounts, capacity commitments and package pricing. Meteroid says its metering turns usage events into billable metrics in real time without requiring pre-aggregation.

Billing tools include invoices with usage breakdowns, credit notes, quotes and CPQ, checkout, customer entitlements, tax rules, APIs and webhooks. The customer portal gives users access to usage, subscriptions, billing details and invoices.

Catches

The Pay as you go listing presents a $0.50 monthly charge tied to managed revenue, yet also says there is no monthly fee. Check the managed-revenue basis and event charges against the expected billing volume.

Volume includes 3 million events per month and up to €50k in managed revenue; revenue above the plan limit has a 0.5% overage. Enterprise pricing is not published. Self-hosting and the listed security module are Enterprise features.

Who should skip it

Meteroid is built for software companies managing subscriptions and usage billing, not presented as a personal budgeting or consumer money app.

Verdict

Meteroid fits software businesses that need subscription management alongside usage metering, invoices, quotes and customer-facing billing tools. Its plan details include event allowances and revenue limits, but the Pay as you go wording leaves the $0.50 charge unclear, and Enterprise has no published price. It is not described as a tool for individuals, and the platform options listed are web, API and self-hosted rather than phone apps.
