THE PROBLEM

Sound
familiar?

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.

PRO TIPS

Quick
wins.

01

Price for margin, not growth

50%+ gross margin on AI costs. Below that, more users means more losses. Know your unit economics.

02

Usage-based matches AI

Per-request costs need per-request pricing. Base subscription + overages. Credits. Tiered access. Match revenue to costs.

03

Rate limiting is essential

One customer's abuse destroys economics. Enforce limits by tier. Protect your margins.

04

Self-service for developers

API key management, usage dashboards, plan upgrades. Developers expect to help themselves. Less support, happier users.

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions.

01

How does usage-based billing work?

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.

02

Can I do tiered rate limiting?

Yes. API keys include tier metadata. Your API reads the tier and applies appropriate limits. Revnu handles the key management; you handle enforcement.

03

What about free tiers for developers to test?

Common pattern: free tier with limited requests (100/day), paid tiers for production usage. Free keys have tier metadata indicating limits.

04

How do I handle customers exceeding limits?

Options: hard cutoff (upgrade required), soft limit with overage billing, or throttling. Configure in Revnu; enforce in your API.

05

Can I sell both subscriptions and one-time API access?

Yes. Common for AI tools: monthly subscription for regular users, one-time credit packs for occasional users. Both work through Revnu.

06

What about enterprise AI customers?

Enterprise typically wants: custom limits, SLAs, data privacy guarantees. Handle contracts directly; use Revnu's invoicing for billing.

07

How do I validate API keys from my service?

Call Revnu's validation endpoint with the key. Get back: valid/invalid, tier, metadata. Cache results to minimize latency on hot paths.
