Core Components
1. Products
Organize your services. Each product represents something you sell - an LLM API, data processing pipeline, or analytics platform.2. Billable Metrics
Track consumption. Whether it’s tokens processed, queries run, or gigabytes stored - if you can measure it, you can bill for it.3. Fees
Add fixed charges. Setup fees, monthly subscriptions, platform access - any predictable cost that doesn’t vary with usage.4. Plans
Package your pricing. Offer different tiers to different customer segments - from hobbyists to enterprises.5. Prices
Define costs. Use simple per-unit rates, volume tiers, percentage-based fees, or dynamic pricing that changes with market conditions.How It Works
Start with a product, add metrics to track usage, define fees for fixed charges, create plans for different customers, then attach prices to each metric within those plans. Each product can have multiple plans, and each plan combines fees with metric prices. This lets you offer the same service at different price points to different customer segments.Real-World Example: LLM Provider
Let’s say you’re launching an LLM service: Product: “Neural Language Engine” Metrics to Track:- Input tokens consumed

- Model API calls
- Input: $0.002/1K tokens
- Output: $0.006/1K tokens
- 10K free tokens monthly
- Input: $0.001/1K tokens (50% volume discount)
- Output: $0.003/1K tokens
- Fine-tuning: $3/hour
- Priority queue access
- Custom negotiated rates
- Committed usage discounts
- SLA guarantees
Data Platform Example
