Paygentic is infrastructure for consumption-based monetization. Built for software where costs scale with usage - LLMs, data processing, compute resources - not user seats.
Software economics changed. Fixed monthly subscriptions break when your costs vary per request. When running GPT-4 costs 0.03 USD per thousand tokens, charging $20/month regardless of usage creates unsustainable unit economics.The technical challenges multiply:Metering at Scale
Tracking millions of micro-transactions per second without impacting application performance.Payment Certainty
Guaranteeing funds exist before processing expensive operations. No post-facto billing surprises.Pricing Flexibility
Supporting per-token, per-query, per-gigabyte, and hybrid models simultaneously across different customer segments.Instant Settlement
Moving money in real-time as consumption occurs, not weeks later through invoicing cycles.
Paygentic collapses the artificial boundary between billing systems and payment processors. Usage tracking and fund movement happen atomically.This design eliminates entire categories of problems:
No reconciliation between usage logs and payment records
No delayed payment collection after service delivery
No manual invoice generation or payment chasing
No separate integration points for billing vs payments
Products & Metrics
Define services and measurable units. An LLM service tracks input tokens, output tokens, and fine-tuning hours as distinct metrics.Plans & Prices
Package pricing strategies. Standard rates, dynamic pricing, percentage fees, or custom models per metric.Accounts
Hold funds with atomic unit precision. Enable instant transfers between parties as usage occurs.Entitlements
Reserve funds before consumption. Lock payment for a specific amount of usage, guaranteeing collection.Usage Events
Report consumption in real-time. Each event triggers immediate pricing calculation and fund transfer.
Real-time by default. Every operation happens instantly. No batch processing unless explicitly requested.Precision matters. Atomic unit accounting enables sub-cent transactions at scale.Idempotent everything. Network failures don’t create duplicate charges or lost events.Geographic distribution. Edge processing for sub-10ms authorization globally.
Begin with Organizations to understand resource ownership. Then explore Pricing to model your monetization strategy.For hands-on integration, follow the Quickstart guide.
