The problem

Billing was built for subscriptions. Software isn't.

Modern products are priced on many axes at once. Each one usually lands in a different system, owned by a different team.

  • subscriptions
  • seats
  • API calls
  • tokens
  • compute
  • credits
  • feature entitlements
  • usage limits
  • negotiated contracts

The platform

One system from usage to revenue.

01 — Meter

Measure anything.

Capture API calls, tokens, compute, seats or custom product events and turn them into accurate billable metrics.

  • Streaming ingestion
  • Idempotency
  • Deduplication
  • Dimensions
  • Real-time rollups
  • Late events

02 — Control

Decide before the request runs.

Check plans, limits, budgets, features and balances in real time before expensive product usage occurs.

  • Features
  • Usage limits
  • Budget caps
  • Model access
  • Strict or fast enforcement
check({
  customer: "contoso",
  feature: "gpt-5",
  quantity: 1
})
{
  allowed: true,
  remaining: 4820
}
allow

target <10 ms

03 — Monetize

Price the way your product actually works.

Combine subscriptions, seats, usage, credits, tiers and commitments in one plan, instead of forcing every business into subscription-only billing.

  • Hybrid models
  • Rate cards
  • Versioned plans

04 — Credits

Treat credits like money.

Run prepaid balances, promotional grants, commitments and shared credit pools on an auditable double-entry ledger.

  • Burn-down
  • Expiry

05 — Bill

Every charge explainable.

Generate invoices that trace every amount back to its rate, metric and underlying usage.

  • Usage invoices
  • Subscriptions
  • Credit purchases
  • PAYG
  • Credit notes
  • Tax
  • Payments

Consumption waterfall

One customer. Multiple ways to pay. One continuous experience.

Define exactly how usage should move across allowances, wallets and overage pricing. Teideal automatically transitions customers without losing a unit of usage.

For AI companies

Pricing infrastructure for the AI economy.

Models, agents and compute create pricing dimensions traditional billing systems were never designed for.
